    This article talks about a new science break through that could potentially allow scientists to control neurons in the brain and detect the activity in different parts. Though this isn't directly a TOK reference, it is interesting to see how the scientific method applies here and think about whether these scientists are performing their experiments to get the results they expected. It also shows current evolution of understanding that proves that what we believed yesterday was not necessarily true.

Logging In to the Brain's Social Network: NPR - 0 views

    This article is really interesting, because it discusses how the brain feels or creates physical pain for things such as rejection. It uses an example of a person in a simulation being left out of a group passing balls to each other and shows that that person experiences stimulation in his physical pain part of the brain as well as a emotion of rejection. It also talks about the effects of social pain on changing our actions.
