Human Nature Review has just posted some interesting book reviews: a couple of books on the light neuroscience can shed on philosophy - Brain-wise: Studies in Neurophilosophy and Philosophical Foundations of Neuroscience ; and a couple of books on consciousness - How can conscious experiences affect brains? and Being no one: The self-model theory of subjectivity.

Just to let you know I've posted the news for October on my site. You might also like to catch a Guardian article on recent brain studies that could be used in unwarranted ways (eg, scanning people for racial bias).
