Free Will as a false dichotomy (Blog Entry by jwray)
I agree. Free will has no physical basis, aside from being a persistent sensation that has been imparted to us through evolution. Just because we parceled it up into a philosophical dilemma doesn't give it special status over our other neural states, which we loosely categorize into emotions, thoughts, and senses.

What are you reading? (Books Talk Post)
I'm not really a prodigious reader, I go through reading "phases" where I read a lot, then nothing for a while. I read Ursula LeGuin's The Birthday of The World not too long ago, and am currently re-reading V.S. Ramachandran's Phantoms in the Brain, because it is so fascinating.
My favourite three books (I know no-one asked but I felt like telling ya ) are Carl Sagan's Contact, Geoff Ryman's The Child Garden, and Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age. Hooray for sci-fi!

Good tip, thanks. But I'm looking for something that will help me find if "Ramachandran" has been submitted yet. And that doesn't help if there's a spelling mistake in a posted video's title or tags.

TED: Vilayanur Ramachandran on the workings of the mind
I'd love to run into Ramachandran at a party. I bet he'd be great fun. I've seen this talk before on the sift I think, maybe not the same video, but the same content.

This is a clip of Vilayanur Ramachandran giving a TED Talk. It's not quite a replacement for your "Mirror Box - Phantom Limb" video, but it's the next best thing.
Temporal Lobe Disorder - The Constant Psychedelic Experience
Ramachandran's book, Phantoms in the Brain, is an excellent read.
Using A Mirror Box To Treat Phantom Limb Pain
sorry to be a bit of a party pooper as I thoroughly respect dr ramachandran and his work - he is truly doing some great research. But... the mirror box to treat phantom limb pain isn't new, it's been around for decades - I've got a psychology text book from the 60s with it being used to treat this.
Equally, the "revelation" that pain might be just a mental construct... shock horror.. pain, like ANY sensation is ONLY a mental construct.
