We Have Ways To Make Your Brain Talk...
On a macabre note, I had every intention of leaving my brain to the Brain Bank, but now I'm having second thoughts: what if they could guess my personnality using the classic method of Physiognomie?
Psychologists have worked out that all personality traits can be divided into five factors, commonly called the Big Five: conscientiousness, extraversion, neuroticism, agreeableness, and openness/intellect. Colin DeYoung at the University of Minnesota and colleagues wanted to know if these personality factors correlated with the size of structures in the brain.
For the study, 116 volunteers answered a questionnaire to describe their personality, then had a brain imaging test that measured the relative size of different parts of the brain. A computer program was used to warp each brain image so that the relative sizes of different structures could be compared. Several links were found between the size of certain brain regions and personality. The research appears in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.

Public Enemy's Chuck D Lashes Out at State of Arizona With New Song
Chuck D and the state of Arizona just don't mix. As Billboard points out, "Tear Down That Wall" is a new track by the Public Enemy MC in which he harshly criticizes the state's new controversial immigration laws, likening them to "Gestapo border control." Chuck D tells Billboard, "The governor is a Hitler."
Chuck famously tussled with the southwestern state in 1991 when Public Enemy released "By the Time I Get to Arizona", which criticized Arizona for not recognizing Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday as a national holiday.
In other Public Enemy news, Billboard reports that the group will release a box set, Bring the Noise Hits, Vids and Docs 3" collecting PE's work since leaving Def Jam. And as previously reported, the new Public Enemy album is being funded by fans via SellaBand. Billboard adds that it will feature guest shots from Tom Morello, Rise Against, and Z-Trip.
