Best all-round performer

Some blogs focus on quite specific areas, others are more general. Top of the accessible general blogs is MindHacks which manages to cover a wide range of areas, often in detail. This is really the best all-round performer the psychology blog-o-sphere has to offer. Largely written by a psychology PhD now training in clinical psychology - MindHacks is frequently updated, sometimes two or three times a day. This is your first stop.

Best cognitive psychology blog

Two joint winners in this category. First is Cognitive Daily which makes complicated topics in cognitive psychology look easy. Great writing, loads of content, a knowledgeable audience of commenters and graphs you can understand. It's frequently updated and wide-ranging but mostly within cognitive psychology. Co-produced by a Professor of psychology.

Second is Mixing Memory which tends towards longer less frequent articles. Written in an open conversational style, this blog tackles all kinds of subject, generally getting stuck into the details. Best for people with a background in psychology but still very accessible.

Both blogs come from the Scienceblogs stable.


Best multimedia psychology blog

Channel N has links to all kinds of audio and video files. It's only updated every now and then (who am I to talk?) but worth returning to. Here's links to an interview with Kay Redfield Jamison on suicide and V. S. Ramachandran talking about neuroaesthetics.


Best psychiatrist's blog

While the tag line of The Last Psychiatrist is 'depression, bipolar, suicide, drug companies and medications', this blog certainly won't cause any of these conditions. Well, at worst you'll want to start your own drug company. This provides a much needed critical approach to all the above topics and more. Less frequent but longer posting. Recommended.


Best humorous (but still scientific) psychology blog

Of Two Minds is the successful result of a daring experiment to fuse two PhD student bloggers into one (they were previously OmniBrain and Retrospectacle).

Each have their foibles of course: Steve Higgins is more of a pigeons playing ping-pong kind of guy, while Shelley has a parrot called Pepper and can't resist the parrot-based posts. But they're both obsessed with brains, which is just how we like it - check out this anatomically correct brain cake.

It's another funky offering from the ScienceBlogs stable.

Best guide to new psychology research

What can the BPS Research Digest do for you? Well, it will introduce and keep you up to date with the best new psychology research being published in academic journals. It's all proper science that's been translated from academic-journal-speak into langauge we can all understand. Can't say fairer than that.


Best psychology blog carnival

Blog carnivals are a neat way to highlight great pos
