aargh.

i don't know if there's already an informal policy about this. i'm new here. but if there isn't one, i'd suggest that if you post an nytimes link, at least post a username/password from bugmenot in the comments. best would be to post the google-affiliate version of the url that lets you not have to login. (i don't remember how to do that.)

Let me summarize [every neuroscience article ever]:

- the brain is very complicated

- the feeling of control over one's thoughts is largely an illusion

- through clever experiments we can make small steps in understanding

There is a BugMeNot Firefox extension. And if I'm not wrong even a bookmarklet.
