How to download books and articles:

1️⃣ The easiest way to do that is through LibGen: http://libgen.rs/ .
LibGen also has a section for articles (and book-chapters): http://libgen.rs/scimag/ . Also, you can download journals: http://libgen.rs/scimag/journals/ .

2️⃣ Another way is to use Sci-Hub ( https://sci-hub.st/ ) which basically works with DOI codes. You can get DOIs from this website: https://www.crossref.org/ (select Search Metadata). Keep in mind that sometimes you can get the book in a single file and sometimes chapter by chapter.

3️⃣ Some publishers produce free e-books (such as https://langsci-press.org/ ) and many of them have Open Access sections.

Rotate the images of Michelle Obama and Jennifer Lopez 180 degrees!
There is a face resource that you may find useful in face-perception research. The faces are computer-generated but are photo-realistic. The link to the company is (Generated Photos):
https://generated.photos/

All the images they offer are free with a link for non-commercial purposes.

For the academic community, they have also made a 10K dataset with meta-data freely available for research:

(scroll towards the bottom)

They have a very good support team, who are very responsive to questions.

Click on the link to see the illusion. There are tiny changes at the edges of the wheels that cause large responses in motion neurons in the brain. If you cover the edges, the illusion disappears.

This is an interesting commentary by Pessoa arguing that the term “limbic system” is misleading and perhaps even inaccurate.

Some tips for writing a scientific paper in English:

1) Always try to use short and clear sentences.

2) Try to have logical links between sentences so that the reader can feel a smooth transition from one sentence to the next one. Ideally the text should be written like a story.

3) Sometimes looking at other papers and searching in the web to see the usage of words in sentences could give you some ideas about how to write your own text.

4) Sometimes the problem of writing is that we don’t know how to say something even in Farsi. In those situations, first say it in Farsi, then translate it to English.

5) Read your own text loudly to find out where it doesn’t read well.

6) Start with writing something even it is not perfect (just to put it out), then revise, revise, revise, and revise!
