Neuroscience for lovers:

glitter_ball.jpgOnline science and humanities e-zine LabLit has an article about one guy's experience of 'luring the ladies' with smooth talking neuroscience chit-chat (and presumably it works well for luring men too).

So, next thing I know, I'm actually chatting away with three beautiful young ladies in a bar in Baltimore. And we're chatting about signal transduction mechanisms and the implications of cerebral ischemia! Not in strict scientific terminology of course, but in decent general terms. I explain about signal transduction by using the band as an example. The signal leaves the guitarist’s hand as he makes the strings vibrate. This is transmitted to the pick-ups in the guitar, and turned into a signal that travels along his cable to his amplifier (or amp, as we rock stars say). There the signal has to be transduced into a sound...
