A One-Two Punch

Astronauts have noticed and photographed the craters for decades, and the Operational Land Imager on Landsat 8 captured a new image of Clearwater Lakes (Lac à l‘Eau Claire) on June 29, 2013.

By Marieke Vos-ZweersEpoch Times Staff Created: November 4, 2011 Last Updated: April 28, 2012 Brain activity during hand movement while awake (left) and during a dreamed movement (right).

The researchers discovered that brain activity is very similar whether dreaming, visualizing, or actually carrying out a specific action, although brain activity was about half as strong during sleep. “The main obstacle in studying specific dream content is that spontaneous dream activity cannot be experimentally controlled, as subjects typically cannot perform pre-decided mental actions during sleep,” study researcher Michael Czisch told LiveScience.
