The Photographers' Gallery | Café Scientifique: The Hymn of the Mind

The Photographers' Gallery | Café Scientifique: The Hymn of the Mind I'll be chairing tomorrow night. It's with Lauren Stewart about how the brain processes music.

Interior Traces

Interior Traces is a Wellcome-funded project which, by coincidence, I'm chairing a session for tomorrow night.

To Score High, Don’t Cover Your Mouth - NYTimes.com

To Score High, Don’t Cover Your Mouth - NYTimes.com New York Times have picked up on the www.routesgame.com Sneeze Game with a slightly weird angle. It's traversing the blogs too. Is it irresponsible to encourage children to sneeze? No, we're just getting them to think about the consequences.

Material World on Brain Imaging

Part of the new 'topical' format for Material World on BBC Radio 4. I was part of a discussion on the uses and limits of brain imaging with my old mate Geraint Rees. This more issues-based rather than news-based format (although I don't think that's how its supposed to be seen) may take time to bed in, but potentially is a good platform for a more sceptical and discursive engagement. Our discussion starts about half way through the podcast or iPlayer record.

Autism and Talent at the Royal Society

And while we're playing catchup, a rather more conventional but no less enjoyable chair at the Royal Society on Talent and Autism. Video also available for those with more bandwidth than sense.

Creative Brains at Tate Modern

I chaired this somewhat eclectic and politically charged event involving some brain science around creativity and some sticking of a near-plastecine substance on to the windows of Tate Modern. Fetching pictures (of the creative effusions) have been posted.

Peer review of Great Sperm Race

I am a great believer in peer review, and I'm really pleased that we have published the scientific treatment for The Great Sperm Race on Channel 4. We commissioned this as part of the development process in the run-up to our decision to part-fund the programme. It enabled us to canvass scientific opinions on the scientific content separate from the conceptual treatment. We've included the reviewers' comments as part of the document and I hope this will give a clear insight into the process.

Great Plant Hunt freebies - UK's biggest science project more links to Great Plant Hunt. Interesting when written pieces are recycled as quotes.

American Ballet Theater - Dance - New York Times

American Ballet Theater - Dance - New York Times is a piece I've just rediscovered from a couple of years ago about the dance thing.
