If you lie once, you’re probably more likely to lie again. New research shows that the part of the brain that is activated during dishonesty responds less and less as we “get used” to cheating — and that could make us lie even more.

Showing that they don’t care about me, or caring that I should know they don’t care about me, still denotes dependence."

Questions raised about older men's brains installed in young women's bodies

Long, short, forward and back: Our concepts of time—and how we process it in the brain—are based on our understanding of physical space, with some surprising cultural variations 

This is the safest time in human history. So why are we all so afraid?

This past spring, Google began feeding its natural language algorithm thousands of romance novels in an effort to humanize its “conversational tone.”

As humans become more connected and reliant on technology, and as phones become more advanced, it all points toward one future: we ARE becoming our phones.

The oldest human to have ever lived died at the age of 122—and that was nearly 20 years ago.

That is, unless we science the shit out of this problem. 

You couldn't do it with just one person — or even just one plane.

Madeleine Lancaster has 300 brains growing in her lab – here’s how she’s done it.

Is it really all about the unconscious? An interesting discussion, much of it around the value of the Freudian view: powerful insight into unfathomable complexity or literary stuff of no therapeutic value?

I was a wayward kid who grew up on the literary side of life, treating math and science as if they were pustules from the plague. So it’s a little strange how I’ve ended up now—someone who dances daily with triple integrals, Fourier transforms, and that crown jewel of mathematics, Euler’s equation. It’s hard to believe I’ve flipped from a virtually congenital math-phobe to a professor of engineering.

Find out how quantum physics can affect our lives, in a positive way.

Of all the things that can make you worry at work, some of the worst are the problems you create. This is especially true when negative things happen and you find yourself waiting for them to happen again. Let me give you a couple of examples.

As part of CrashCourse’s philosophy unit, Hank Green asks, “Is it possible to make true assertions about things that aren’t real?” Turns out the answer is pretty complicated.
