An episode of the podcast, "Stuff You Should Know", called “How Stuttering Works”, recently hit the airwaves. “Stuff You Should Know” (SYSK) is a popular podcast and video series published by the How Stuff Works website, with the tag line "Learn how everything works!" The show discusses a wide variety of topics and disorders, both common and unusual. This episode focused on stuttering. Hosts Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant discussed several well-researched aspects of stuttering. While many claims were articulated accurately, others seemed to be alarmingly misinterpreted.

Torrey Louck discussed the exciting possibilities of simultaneous scanning to visually match brain activity to motor acts. Why can we not incorporate emotions into our hard science questions? Or validate our self-awareness strategies with neuroimaging?
