Re: There's a flaw with this article
Same here - I've kept abreast of pop science for the last couple of decades and this 'fad' against which the author is railing is largely new to me.
I found it a little unfocused, as well. There was talk of 'luvvies' (a word coined by Stephen Fry to describe thespians, and used in that sense by Private Eye) in the article, but not of actors. Still, if you want both actors and neuroscience being talked about by someone with insight and humanity, Oliver Sacks talks, amongst other things, what he learnt from the actor Robin Williams: http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/scienceshow/celebrating-oliver-sacks/6741096
(to avoid confusion, note that the interviewer is called Robyn Williams, a science journalist).
