someone made the excellent suggestion of having some sort of online neuroscience journal club, where a topic of interest is chosen and where we draw on our different research backgrounds in order to decipher the article for each other (and also to suggest additional avenues of research). I would like to hear feedback over this idea, if you like the idea or not, and any suggestions as to how it should be implemented.

thanks,

You know how I feel about it. I think it could be great.

I would like to nominate the topic of time, if anyone else in interested. The subject of time so requires an interdisciplinary approach that it has languished. Any inroads made in the problem of temporal experience will require the cooperation of philosophers, psychologists, biologists and physicists because we are continually experience time without our five senses ever bring able to detect it.

Anyway, maybe I am overselling it a little, but I do think it is an appripriate topic for the scientists who use this website. There are applealing articles using neural network modeling, fMRI, EEG and psychology.

I'd be game for other topics.

ok, I still have this idea on my 'To Do' list. :/

Does anyone have any thoughts over the idea of just having a separate 'Journal Club' or 'Online Journal Club' board, located under the Neuroscience category in this forum? Or is it better to have a neuroscience journal club altogether separate from this forum?

ok, I have started something like a journal club at http://brainmeta.com/forum/index.php?showforum=59
