Psi Beta, the psychology honor society is hosting a food drive this holiday season to help those in need in the community and provide food for those who are less fortunate. As the president of Psi Beta I would love to see an influx of food donations from our students here at Suffolk. At the moment we do not have many cans donated and would love some assistance. I realize it is sometimes difficult to motivate students and would be more than appreciative if professors could ask their students to donate cans and kindly give them extra credit points in return or other assistance. The donation boxes are in the Babylon building near the info desk, in Southampton near the art gallery and in Riverhead on the main level. The food drive will end on Thursday, December 17th. This is for a great cause and those receiving the food will be more than grateful. Thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to a successful food drive.

Inside/Out
Recently, Pixar's hit movie, Inside/Out was released on DVD. (http://movies.disney.com/inside-out)
This movie explores the inner working of the adolescent brain/mind. When it came out, there was much talk about its' connection to Neuroscience..see the following article.
http://www.blakeporterneuro.com/inside-outs-take-on-the-brain-a-neuroscientists-perspective/
An excellent extra credit opportunity is to watch the movie and do an extra credit paper on it, specifically its' relation to brain/mind function. There were plenty of resources developed on this idea and it is an excellent opportunity to add your own thoughts to the discussion!

THE IMPORTANCE OF SLEEP
During these very stressful weeks of exams, papers,etc. it is easy to get roped into pulling "all nighters" to keep up. It's important to note, however, that much research is pointing to the fact that getting a good night's sleep is key to maintaining optimal performance and health. Take a look at the following link for the top 10 reasons why sleep is so important...

The following is an excellent example of how our knowledge in many different fields is used on a day to day basis to deal with many of life's complex challenges. Read on and find out how it is possible to remove half of a person's brain and improve their life....

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
The field of Neuroscience is intimately involved with the idea of artificial intelligence, that is, building computers that are more like humans. While we still may be a ways from some of the classic science fiction characters whom seemed more human (and ultimately more powerful) than us, the advances we are making currently have begun to have a major impact on our life. Check out the following article which suggests A.I. (like most technology) will be something our children will become familiar with at very early ages.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2015/10/15/how-artificial-intelligence-is-moving-from-the-lab-to-your-kids-playroom/
With the real advancesof A.I., a number of ethical, moral, and philosophical questions have emerged. These have been explored for many years in film and novels. Recently, the following movie which is sure to be a classic explored many of these questionsa and the possible dynamics that could develop between A.I. and their human creators......
