A good item from The New Statesman: a vivisection of the current rash of bogus books about how your brain allegedly works. This includes the cult of neurolinquistic programming, the supposed Republican brain, and the almost criminal misuse of fMRI scans to prove anything you like. The reference to one book as a "perverse manifesto for autolobotomy" is certainly the tastiest description of the week.
