(PhysOrg.com) -- New research from the UK shows the brain continues to develop after childhood and puberty, and is not fully developed until people are well into their 30s and 40s.

Brain is not fully mature until 30s and 40s

The findings contradict current theories that the brain matures much earlier. Professor Sarah-Jayne Blakemore, a neuroscientist with the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London, said until around a decade ago many scientists had "pretty much assumed that the human brain stopped developing in early childhood," but recent research has found that many regions of the brain continue to develop for a long time afterwards. The prefrontal cortex is the region at the front of the brain just behind the forehead, and is an area of the brain that undergoes the longest period of development.

Psychoneuroimmunology. The word "biofeedback" was coined in the late 1960s to describe laboratory procedures then being used to train experimental research subjects to alter brain activity, blood pressure, heart rate, and other bodily functions that are not normally controlled voluntarily.

The most common forms of biofeedback today are the electromyographic (EMG) and the electrodermal (EDR). These sensors allow the person to monitor their own muscle relaxation, heart rate, breathing patterns and perspiration and concentrate on changing it through either the visual or auditory information provided by the equipment.

Susan Savage-Rumbaugh on apes. Textes sur l'inconscient. Dès le XVIIe siècle, Spinoza soulignait que nous ignorons « ce que peut le corps », anticipant ainsi l’idée d’inconscient : Personne n’a jusqu’à présent déterminé ce que peut le Corps, c’est-à-dire que, jusqu’à présent, l’expérience n’a enseigné à personne ce que le Corps est en mesure d’accomplir par les seules lois de la Nature, considérée seulement en tant que corporelle, et ce qu’il ne peut accomplir sans y être déterminé par l’Esprit.

Textes sur l'inconscient

Car personne jusqu’ici n’a acquis une connaissance assez précise de la structure du Corps pour en expliquer toutes les fonctions, et nous ne dirons rien de ce que l’on observe souvent chez les animaux et qui dépasse de loin la sagacité humaine, ou des nombreuses actions qu’accomplissent les somnambules pendant leur sommeil et qu’ils n’oseraient pas entreprendre pendant la veille ; tout cela montre assez que le Corps, par les seules lois de sa nature, a le pouvoir d’accomplir de nombreuses actions qui étonnent son propre Esprit.

Intelligence collective : l'apport des femmes. Study finds small groups demonstrate distinctive 'collective intelligence' when facing difficult tasks. When it comes to intelligence, the whole can indeed be greater than the sum of its parts.

Study finds small groups demonstrate distinctive 'collective intelligence' when facing difficult tasks

A new study co-authored by MIT, Carnegie Mellon University, and Union College researchers documents the existence of collective intelligence among groups of people who cooperate well, showing that such intelligence extends beyond the cognitive abilities of the groups' individual members, and that the tendency to cooperate effectively is linked to the number of women in a group. Many social scientists have long contended that the ability of individuals to fare well on diverse cognitive tasks demonstrates the existence of a measurable level of intelligence in each person. In a study published Thursday, Sept. 30, in the advance online issue of the journal Science, the researchers applied a similar principle to small teams of people.

That collective intelligence, the researchers believe, stems from how well the group works together. Malone believes the study applies to many kinds of organizations.

A fractal is a complex geometric pattern that can be subdivided in parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a smaller copy of the whole. Fractals are generally "self-similar" (the bits look like the whole) and independent of scale (they look similar, no matter how close you zoom in). Benoit Mandelbrot, the discoverer of the Mandelbrot set, coined the term "fractal" in 1975 from the Latin fractus meaning "to break". Because fractals are generally made of irregular curves or shapes repeated at every scale they are difficult to represent with classical geometry, and have developed into their own branch of mathematics.
