The down side is it takes time and practice.

My personal favorite, though I don't think the speaker is a researcher himself. Explained a bit how the brain works socially.
I hope you all learn something. What I learned was some simple techniques to basically 'work' out my brain. We'll see if it works in a few months, but I've nothing to lose.
