Hello gentle colleagues:
I am sorry to divert attention from the student-faculty love fest but I was wondering what if anything people on this fine list know about the business of using MRIs for lie detection.
Also, if you reply to my query, may I post your answer to my class discussion board?
To me one of the lows was :Stephen Black's threat to leave Tips.
To me one of the highs was: Louis Schmeier's posts.

The reticular formation is physical. The RAS is a description of one of its

Looking on all students with a smiling, benign countenance and giving
unconditional positive regard is not going to prevent cheating or
lying, nor will it be of service to the companies and institutions we
send those same students off to after graduation.
However, even Carl Rogers would

Of course, maybe we don't need to have such polarized thinking on this

appropriate and sometimes it isn't appropriate. Perhaps what's most

Hi All-
I think that there's another aspect of the blooper issue that we need to
consider. I think that bloopers are a good reminder that our clear

I would argue against this idea because I don't believe that it
will be the better students who come up with the complex

Yet another type of humor comes from those who do it for a living,
namely, comedians. Out of the many only a few stand out as delivering
