• Keith Barry does brain magic | Video on TED.com – First, Keith Barry shows us how our brains can fool our bodies — in a trick that works via podcast too. Then he involves the audience in some jaw-dropping (and even a bit dangerous) feats of brain magic.
• Tough Choices: How Making Decisions Tires Your Brain: Scientific American – Recently, a growing body of research has focused on a particular mental limitation, which has to do with our ability to use a mental trait known as executive function.
