...trials. In an experiment published this month in Current Biology, he targeted different regions of the test subjects' brains with magnetic pulses while they performed number-recognition problems. A normal subject, when asked to identify whether a 2 or a 4 is written in larger text, will be a split-second faster on those occasions that the 4 is printed bigger. Normal subjects process that 4 is a bigger quantity than 2, and that information aids their pick - just as number recognition slows them down slightly when a larger 2 sits next to a smaller 4. But when Cohen Kadosh...
...teamed Boston residents with architects to design a new $85.5 million community center, another organized a get-out-the-vote campaign in Roxbury, and one worked to mobilize the myriad Middle East activism groups on campus into a coherent network. No longer were our two worlds split into disparate (and competing) realms of learning; this pedagogy married more theoretical, conventional classroom learning with tangible—and holistically rewarding—activities, resulting in an incredibly refreshing and educational experience...
...Pitcher of the Year despite Haviland returning to defend the honor he claimed in 2006. In the near-freezing temperatures at O’Donnell Field on Saturday, Haviland went eight-plus innings in the nightcap, allowing three runs and striking out four, as the Crimson salvaged a doubleheader split with Princeton with a 6-3 triumph. “Especially after losing game one, we really needed that one to keep ourselves in the race,” Haviland said. With the performance, Haviland exacted a measure of revenge for his collegiate career’s most painful defeat...
...playoffs, and freshmen are playing important roles in 2007.The weather is also a little different: the temperature at O’Donnell Field on Saturday never broke 40 degrees. In a rematch of the two Ancient Eight division champs from a year ago, Harvard and Princeton split a doubleheader, the third consecutive twinbill split for the Crimson. The Tigers took game one, 6-4, in extra innings behind a complete-game effort from Steven Miller, while Shawn Haviland led Harvard to a 6-3 victory in the second matchup. But neither team seemed close to last spring?...
...desperate attempt at a comeback, a retreat to his native land and to the sort of material with which he first established his international reputation, Soldier of Orange, his 1977 resistance drama of a much more conventional kind. But in his 69th year, Verhoeven is perhaps something of a split personality: a man who cannot unlearn the headlong American way of making movies that he learned comparatively late in life (he was 48 when he came here) and a man who may also have an aging eye angled at his eventual place in cinema history. Black Book is, I think...
