  1. I understand the connection to Halle Berry, but you may be demonstrating a lack of psychological understanding if you use that slide: namely the psychology of female students, who tend to dislike the use of pictures of scantily-clad women on class slides.
    Halle Berry is a talented actress who won an Oscar for her performance in Monster’s Ball (incredibly even though she wasn’t wearing PVC). How about using this photo:

    Will you also have beefcake slides to go with the cheesecake? If not, why not?

  2. I thought the reference was to cat woman, not to Halle Berry, whom I didn’t even recognize in the picture. I didn’t see the cat woman movie, and I only remembered that Halle Berry was cat woman after looking at the previous post on Halle Berry neurons. I think she’s much more recognizable in the picture Ellen posted…

  3. The point was to discuss how the researchers discovered a neuron that responded selectively to Halle Berry in all forms – i.e. even when dressed up as Catwoman.
    It’s hard to find a less-scantily clad picture of Catwoman
