		<title>SFN 2009 &#8211; so much to see</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I apologize for my lack of updates lately.  It turns out that trying to actively learn things and socially interact with other scientists while also reporting on new findings, etc, is extremely difficult.  Though this isn&#8217;t exactly what I believe SFN Interactive had planned, I think I&#8217;m going to try and only post brief updates [...]]]></description>

		<title>View your OASIS itinerary for SFN on your mobile device</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For all those who are organized enough to have an itinerary planned out for SFN next week using the online Neuroscience Meeting Planner (a rather archaic tool that is only marginally useful, linked from the meeting homepage above), you may be interested in how you can use your mobile device (like iPhone, blackberry, etc) to [...]]]></description>

		<title>NeuroTechnica at SFN 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just received word (along with dozens of others, it appears) that I&#8217;ve been selected as an SFN Neuroblogger for the 2009 conference next weekend (10/17-10/21)!  I&#8217;m extremely excited and honored to have this opportunity and look forward to sharing my thoughts on this year&#8217;s meeting with you all.  For those interested, I&#8217;ll also be [...]]]></description>

		<title>PLoS releases article usage data</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday afternoon, I received an exciting press release from PLoS (the text of which is largely similar to this blog post) &#8211; article usage data is now available for (nearly) all articles published in any of the open-access PLoS journals!  This is a big deal for, at least, two reasons: 1.  authors now have a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Now you see it, now you don&#8217;t</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Being exposed to popular media and fiction about science, we’ve all heard the term ‘brain waves’, loosely related to the frequencies of electrical oscillations in the brain detected at the scalp using EEG.  These signals are extremely vague spatially (you may be able to differentiate left/right or front/back, but you won’t isolate the insula or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cracked tackles neuroscience</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was browsing Digg today when I happened upon this Cracked article which talks about different illusions in neuroscience and does a pretty decent job explaining them in a humorous, mostly-accurate way.  I found their description of change blindness to be particularly funny. I only had one bone to pick with their post (and it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>DRM, iPhone 2.2.1, &amp; iTunes &#8211; Apple screwed up big time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recently been one of a large number of victims to a very unfortunate bug involving the iPhone 2.2.1 software update issued earlier this month.  Since I upgraded to 2.2.1, whenever I would attempt to sync anything with DRM to/from my phone (this includes ringtones, videos, movies, FairPlay music from the iTunes store and Apps(!)), [...]]]></description>

		<title>Neurotechnica is on Nature Blogs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As of this morning, NeuroTechnica is now listed on Nature Blogs, a pretty incredible science blog aggregator, very similar to the one I proposed creating in a previous post.  The main difference between the current implementation and something I&#8217;d really like to see is automatic republishing (with author&#8217;s permission, of course) on a central portal.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vitamin B12 &#8211; it does a nervous system good</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This evening I came across an interesting article in the New York Times about the neurological risks of a vitamin B12 deficiency.  A number of recent studies seem to link a B12 deficiency with different neurological ailments, like Alzheimer&#8217;s disease and dementia.  The article mentions a recent study that found brain shrinkage in older adults [...]]]></description>

		<title>Neurotechnica Review: Body Worlds 2 &amp; The Brain, Our Three-Pound Gem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having been a huge fan of the first Houston exhibition, I was excited to learn that Body Worlds would be returning this year.  This time, it&#8217;s called &#8220;Body Worlds 2 &#38; The Brain, Our Three-Pound Gem&#8221; (which naturally had me excited). To start off with, this exhibit is extremely expensive for a museum showing.  My [...]]]></description>
