Here are this morning’s:
* Virtual bodies — Second Life with touch — “The brain had incorporated the virtual arm into its representation of the body, treating it as if it were part of the body.”
* The high price of being a gay couple — in case you missed it — roughly ranges from $28,000 – $211,000 over a lifetime
* How to make people believe in telepathy — when they spoke to each other first, and when they chose the cards to transmit and receive, their confidence shot way up— so, no evidence of ESP, but evidence of the kinds of social situations in which people can be induced to believe in ESP
* A vaccine for cocaine — sort of — but we’re a long way from curing people of drug addiction
* The brain on God — a chart from NPR — the biology of belief
