Encephalon #53

Encephalon number 53 is out, over at Ionian Enchantment, where Michael Meadon is in the midst of some kind of hosting frenzy. Among the highlights are a very good (and very very long) piece on Wilder Penfield at Neurophilosophy, and something on the widely reported recent Nature Neuroscience study on predictions of hits or misses in basketball from short video clips of the beginnings of shots, at Neuronism. Two of my recent articles about chimps also made the cut, one on self-distraction, and one on consolation.
