Mind and brain on Research TV:
I've just discovered 'Research TV' which features loads of free videos, or 'vodcasts', including several on psychology and neuroscience:
Link to Scanning brainwaves to read the mind, about combining MEG and fMRI brain imaging techniques.
Link to Hemianopia: looking into the dark.
Link to A happy marriage helps beat flu.
Link to Fit to fight depression.
Link to Brain Scans show ADHD differences.
Link to Not exactly brain surgery, about a virtual reality simulator for surgeons.
Link to Older and Wiser?: Tackling problems of the ageing brain.
Link to Magnetic milestones in children's brain tumour treatment.
Link to Job satisfaction depends on happiness.
There are probably others that I've missed too. I just watched the first one on 'Scanning brainwaves' and it includes some excellent shots of what a MEG scanner looks like with somebody in it (I've seen a fMRI scanner loads of times but not a MEG one), and in another clip you can also hear just how noisy an fMRI scanner is.
Warwick University are apparently behind Research TV, with Birmingham uni, Nottingham uni, King's College and Durham University as partners.
