Brainblogger and GNIF

You know, there are so many places on the net that have excellent information – the world really is a small place now.

I ran across Brainblogger today, where there are many different people writing about “topics from multidimensional biopsychosocial perspectives. It reviews the latest news and stories related to neuroscience, psychiatry, and neurology. It serves as a focal point for attracting new minds beyond the science of the mind-and-brain and into the biopsychosocial model.”
They have their own Wikipedia entry Brain Blogger, and adhere to a biopsychosocial and interdisciplinary view of health, and the mind and body.

OK, so who is GNIF? GNIF stands for Global Neuroscience Initiative Foundation. They seem to be keen on open-source information, and destigmatisation of mental health problems – great stuff!
What appeals to me so far is the open-source nature of their information. This means its readily available, well-referenced, and modifiable. Its aims seem laudable.

So, take a look yourself – Basic brain facts is just what it says…
And there is the Distance Education Division that has a range of self-paced and online learning materials such as ‘Physical Interventions for Stress’ and ‘Self Marketing for Individuals with Disabilities’.

Enjoy!
