[edit] comment

Hmmm...the Orbitofrontal cortex must be an absolutely fascinating topic!! No...I'm quite serious!! This has been one of my major problems is life: I'm addicted to learning...everything possible. But it's a damned horrible Faustian demon which drives me to stay alive in spite of myself. Now I want to read an extraordinary amount of books on all of these topics listed on this page, later I will be spell-bound by some discussion regarding the semantic paradoxes. There's too much!! This place is driving me nuts---Lacatosias 16:10, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

It certainly is =)--PaulWicks 16:13, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unfortunately

Unfortunately, I have gotten to know something more than your average person about neuroscience, though, since I've spent most of my life as a patient experiencing in the first-person the sorts of problems that folks like yourself are lucky enough to be able to study at medical schools.--Lacatosias 16:30, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Optic radiations

I just noticed that optic radiation and optic radiations are separate articles. Is there any particular reason for this? If not, perhaps someone with more wikipedia mojo than me wants to merge them?

Well, I will propose it any any rate (not an admin). It shouldn't be much of a problem since one is a stub and the other is only slightly more than a stub and they deal with the exact same topic.--Lacatosias 07:19, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Psychology Wiki

The Psychology Wiki.
The Psychology Wiki.

The Psychology Wiki is a Wikia project, meaning that it is run by Wikia Inc, associated to Wikimedia foundation who run Wikipedia. You can think of the project as a daughter of the wikipedia site.

We are a large wiki in terms of content but small in terms of contributors. We have various plans to promote ourselves through wikipedia, and through psychology on and off the internet, but some more promotion amongst people already familiar with Wiki editing would be very advantageous.

The Psychology Wiki differs from Wikipedia psychology articles in that:

  • 1) It is intended to contain all of the discipline of psychology, like a giant meta-textbook, rather than an Encyclopedia.
  • 2) It will therefore go into much greater technical detail than one would have in an encyclopedia. It will have full academic referencing.
  • 3) It will have user experiences relating to psychology issues on seperate user pages, protected by admins, allowing POV to be expressed on these pages only. The rest of the wiki is NPOV, but expression of personal experience is nessesary and desireable on our wiki.
  • 4) It will have course content pages from academic and clinical courses with links to internal wiki articles.
  • 5) It will be a place for researchers to discuss latest papers etc...

PS All wiki editors should be aware of the psychological phenomena of Social Loafing. It effects new Wikis with few contributors especially.

Here are some useful pages on our site

We just need more contributors to make it work! Mostly Zen 23:25, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Update for the front page

Michael Tye is no longer missing. He has a page here. He should be moved under the "philosophers" section. (I looked at the code, but it was a bit too confusing for me.) Postmodern Beatnik 20:03, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind. I slogged through the code and have fixed it. Postmodern Beatnik 18:50, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Congratulations!! (;

I love Psychology. It has been my favorite subject since I was about 14 years old. I will be checking in with comments and edits often I hope. Remowill 19:51, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
