* Emotion can be expressed in a five-second touch — “instructed to try to convey one of the eight emotions” — understanding ranged from 50% to 78%
* fMRI forecasts which soldiers vulnerable to PTSD — some markers — but are you going to put everyone through an fMRI?
* Monkeys don’t much like human music — but they like monkey music — here’s the mp3
* SAT coaching boosts SAT scores — barely — but I wouldn’t expect parents to stop anytime soon
* Acupuncture is hard to study — “A better way to do acupuncture research is to use a sham acupuncture control group that leads both patients and practitioners to believe they are getting real acupuncture” — positive results have disappeared
