Reading: The Original Virtual Reality

First post! In order to lay the foundation for this blog Asia and I have decided to dig up one of our favorite Live Science articles. When you read, you may think that your brain is just processing words and archiving thoughts, but it is doing much more than that. Scientists are finding connections between reading words and experiencing actions. For example, if you read the word "jump" the part of your brain that tells you to jump is activated. The article can be found here. If you have ever felt the heat of dragon's fire, the weightlesness of space, or the freedom of flight; you have been ensorcelled by wordcraft. Caveat Lector!
