Yes, I wish I had electrodes on my head, that fateful day in December

So I was skipping around on TED (and by skipping around on TED I mean I followed a link from Pharyngula to a controversial Common Sense Atheism post) and found this talk by Aditi Shankardass:



Why didn't they have this when I was a kid?  I wish they had this instead of the arcane test they gave me.  Though a computer monitor with a simple clicker was all we had back then, you'd think someone in those counseling offices would think to hook up an EEG to get some baseline data from their patients.  This just *finally* indicates a shift in purely behavioral psychology (or its bastard child pop psychology) to a more nuanced and cosmopolitan concept of the human condition.
And, for the record, I agree with PZ.  It's one thing to be an obsessive creeper.  It's another to be attracted to women capable of critical thinking.
