SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA–Last month, the Sydney Morning Herald reported on a new “thinking cap” developed by U-of-Sydney professor Allan Snyder. It’s a weird device that supposedly boosts intelligence by shutting off part of the brain. (Or rather, people who wear the cap are more likely to pass a simple arithmetic test. No research has been done on whether it improves anything else.) And this might seem like good news, if the “thinking cap” project didn’t have Rupert Murdoch’s grubby fingerprints all over it.
