Our new book's out! The Psychology of the Pararnormal (co-authored with David Groome and Michael Eysenck) explores some common beliefs regarding experiences so strange they can defy obvious scientific explanations 👻🛸👽✨ More info here: bit.ly/2Chavck @Routledgepsych

Bombshell: Oliver Sacks (a humane man & a fine essayist) made up many of the details in his famous case studies, deluding neuroscientists, psychologists, & general readers for decades. The man who mistook his wife for a hat? The autistic twins who generated multi-digit prime numbers? The institutionalized, paralyzed man who tapped out allusions to Rilke? Made up to embellish the stories. Probably also: the aphasic patients who detected lies better than neurologically intact people, including Ronald Reagan's insincerity. newyorker.com/magazine/2025/…

Passed my progression viva today! I'm officially a Doctoral Researcher, rather than MPhil/PhD ;)

@Neuro_Skeptic Tested it. Can confirm they're separate sensations and it was a regrettable experience.

If someone has anosmia (impaired smell and flavor sensation) e.g. from Covid... can they eat hot spicy food without flinching? Or is chili 'hotness' a different sensation?

Someone bought skimmed milk for the office, surely this is a sackable offence?

My dad is no more. He kept saying “your mother is calling me” & left us today. Rather then see him as a victim of post Covid complications - he did become free of Covid before the end - he will be remembered as a fighter. His optimism is legendary amongst his wide community
