A Moment Frozen: Harold Whittles Hears | Frameplay. It’s weird that even in the age of the internet, sometimes it’s difficult to find information. Take, for example, this very famous photo of Harold Whittles. Captured by Jack Bradley, the photo shows Whittles at the moment he had been fitted with a hearing aid, and was hearing for the first time. Other than that, there’s not much out there to tell us about the photo or how it came about – even though this photo shows up all around the internet every day and millions of people are familiar with the image, all that’s really available in terms of background is that the photo appeared in Reader’s Digest in 1974, but the magazine did not offer any additional details. While this could be frustrating for anyone trying to do research, it’s interesting to note that sometimes an photo says everything it needs to on its own, and that additional explanation is not necessary in order for the image to tell the story.
Footballers are smarter than PhD students, claims survey. THE OLD stereotype of the stupid footballer may have to be consigned to history after a new study claimed that players have better cognitive skills than undergraduates and even PhD students. Research by Canadian academic Jocelyn Faubert, of the University of Montreal, found that sports stars were able to "hyper-focus" when doing tests, thanks to physical differences in their brains. Footballers from Manchester United took part in the study along with NHL ice hockey players in Canada and French Super 14 rugby players. Amateur athletes and students were also involved. All the volunteers were set complex visual challenges on a machine called a Neurotracker, such as following 3D balls as they moved around a screen, to test their perceptual and cognitive abilities.
