Mind Hacks O'Reilly has just released its latest book in the Hacks series: Mind Hacks: Tips & Tools for Using your Brain in the World. I haven't see it yet, but there are several cool sample hacks at the OR website, including: Hack 11: Why People Don't Work Like Elevator Buttons, Map Your Blind Spot, Glimpse the Gaps in Your Vision, Create Illusionary Depth with Sunglasses, Neural Noise Isn't a Bug; It's a Feature, Improve Visual Attention Through Video Games, Why Can't You Tickle Yourself?, and Make the Caffeine Habit Taste Good.

UPDATE: Anne Galloway sez: "Saw your post on Mind Hacks and thought I'd point to the accompanying weblog - in case you hadn't seen it." Link
