Contents I. 5 Ways To Hack Your Brain Into Awesomeness Much of the brain is still mysterious to modern science, possibly because modern science itself is using brains to analyze it. There are probably secrets the brain simply doesn't want us to know. But by no means should that stop us from tinkering around in there, using somewhat questionable and possibly dangerous techniques to make our brains do what we want. We can't vouch for any of these, either their effectiveness or safety. #5. So you just picked up the night shift at your local McDonald's, you have class every morning at 8am and you have no idea how you're going to make it through the day without looking like a guy straight out of Dawn of the Dead, minus the blood... hopefully. "SLEEEEEEEEEP... uh... What if we told you there was a way to sleep for little more than two hours a day, and still feel more refreshed than taking a 12-hour siesta on a bed made entirely out of baby kitten fur? Holy Shit! We're pretty sure Kramer did this once on Seinfeld. How Does It Work? #4. #3. 1. 2. 3.

Mimik & Emotion In einer Vielzahl von Untersuchungen zur Emotionserkennung (Decodierung), sowie zur Emotionsdarstellung (Encodierung), kommt der Mimik, gegenüber anderen Ausdrucksorganen eine besondere Bedeutung zu. Ein wesentlicher Grund hierfür ist, daß die hochdifferenzierte und komplexe Muskulatur des Gesichtes die Darstellung einer großen Zahl unterscheidbarer Gesichtsausdrücke zuläßt. Dabei setzt sich die Gesichtsmimik einer Person aus einer Vielzahl von interagierenden Systemen (z.B. Ein weiterer Grund für die hervorgehobene Stellung der Mimik ist, daß sie auf äußere und innere Reize gegenüber anderen Ausdrucksorganen (z.B. In Untersuchungen zur face-to-face-interaction kommt man weiter zu dem Schluß, daß durch die mimischen Ausdrucksreaktionen sich die Interaktionspartner, oft auch unbewußt, aneinander anpassen und gegenseitig regulieren (Bänninger-Huber & Salisch, 1994). 1.1. 1.2. 1.2.1. 1.2.1.1. Weiter existieren eine Reihe von Ausnahmen, in denen diese Zusammenhangsbeziehung nicht gilt.
Four Things Not To Do To Your Kids Apart from letting them watch Japanese horror movies. John Gottman, from the University of Washington, has a "marriage lab" in which he videotaped/s married couples disagreeing about something minor, in order to study predictors of divorce. He came up with four. You might think they're obvious, but if you actually try to avoid them during an argument, it's harder than you think. It then occurred to me that these often some of the same reasons why some kids "hate" their parents. Disclaimer for the sensitive: the below are inflated examples; these are done to varying degrees, of course, sometimes it's unavoidable, etc, etc. Criticism: The most difficult to avoid. "Did you put away your backpack?" The kid thinks, mom just assumes I do things wrong. It teaches one other awesome message: it doesn't actually matter what I do, only what people think of me. Stonewalling: Stonewalling means: "I am not going to discuss this with you." Defensiveness: NB: this is done by the parent. Kid: you lied to me!
2013/03/21/top-10-futuristic-aircraft-that-we-might-see-soon/ There’s something almost romantic about the notion of futuristic technology. We live in an era where the technology of only a few years past is outdated by current advances, and yet we still have so much to look forward to. Barely a hundred years ago, the idea of manned flight was a dream shared among the collegiate fringe, and now we literally have a robot on Mars that can vaporize rocks with lasers. Is it so far fetched to think that sometime in the near future we’ll be flying around on flying saucers, or taking day trips to space for vacation? 10. Tentatively scheduled for completion in 2050, the Airbus Transparent Plane doesn’t look to change the mechanics of flight so much as the experience. The seats will also be designed to absorb body heat from the passengers, which will then be converted to help power the plane, making this the only time a fear of flying will actually help prevent a crash. 9. 8. 7. 6.
Welcome to ChimpFACS Why Intelligent People Use More Drugs The human consumption of psychoactive drugs , such as marijuana , cocaine , and heroin, is of even more recent historical origin than the human consumption of alcohol or tobacco, so the Hypothesis would predict that more intelligent people use more drugs more frequently than less intelligent individuals. The use of opium dates back to about 5,000 years ago, and the earliest reference to the pharmacological use of cannabis is in a book written in 2737 BC by the Chinese Emperor Shen Nung. Opium and cannabis are the only “natural” (agricultural) psychoactive drugs. Other psychoactive drugs are “chemical” (pharmacological); they require modern chemistry to manufacture, and are therefore of much more recent origin. Morphine was isolated from opium in 1806, cocaine was first manufactured in 1860, and heroin was discovered in 1874. The following graph shows a similar association between childhood intelligence and the latent factor for the consumption of psychoactive drugs among Americans.
science Dark Geology: The Mechanism of a Mystery - From Quarks to Quasars Image: FQTQ/Matt Hunter Earth is often taken for granted, and when dealing with the Universe, it is very easy to lose sight of just how rare it is that we can be here– a sentient species numbering 7,066,333,655 as of 23:24 UTC (EST+5) Sep 14, 2012 (time of the original writing). Moreover, an advancing knowledge of all that is around us, and the curiosity and aptitude to drive us further. I would like to take you over some of the amazing details of our own, remarkable planet – from the amazing acts of natural geological process to the terrible ticking time-bombs of Terra. Indeed, they are not unique to us, but occur throughout the entire cosmos. This first topic won’t be about tectonic plates, volcanoes, or rock strata, but about an altogether different topic: Dark Matter on Earth. Composition of the universe – Source Astrophysicists have been debating and theorizing over the likely sum of Dark Matter in our Galaxy, the Milky Way, for many years. It doesn’t stop there however.
Multitasking May Hurt Your Performance, But It Makes You Feel Better - Ohio State Research and Innovation Communications COLUMBUS, Ohio - People aren’t very good at media multitasking - like reading a book while watching TV - but do it anyway because it makes them feel good, a new study suggests. The findings provide clues as to why multitasking is so popular, even though many studies show it is not productive. Researchers had college students record all of their media use and other activities for 28 days, including why they used various media sources and what they got out of it. The findings showed that multitasking often gave the students an emotional boost, even when it hurt their cognitive functions, such as studying. “There’s this myth among some people that multitasking makes them more productive,” said Zheng Wang, lead author of the study and assistant professor of communication at Ohio State University. “But they seem to be misperceiving the positive feelings they get from multitasking. Take, for example, students who watched TV while reading a book. “We found what we call a dynamical feedback loop.
Video: Remote helicopter controlled by brain waves | Human World A team at the University of Minnesota, led by biomedical engineering professor Bin He, have learned to use their thoughts to steer a flying robot around a gym, making it turn, rise, dip, and even sail through a ring. Brain waves (EEG) are picked up by the electrodes of an EEG cap on the scalp. The system works thanks to the geography of the motor cortex—the area of the cerebrum that governs movement. When we move, or think about a movement, neurons in the motor cortex produce tiny electric currents. Thinking about a different movement activates a new assortment of neurons. Monitoring electrical activity from the brain, the 64 scalp electrodes of the EEG cap report the signals (or lack of signals) they detect to a computer, which translates the pattern into an electronic command. Now it’s the real deal, controlling an actual flying robot—formally, an AR [augmented reality] drone.
The world's mightiest neutrino detectors - Image 1 15:12 11 September 2012 The ever-shifting nature of neutrinos is the missing piece of the particle physics puzzle. Here, we look at the heavyweight technology studying these elusive particles. Read more: "Neutrinos – the next big small thing" Image 1 of 7 Super-Kamiokande Neutrinos interact so rarely with matter that vast experiments are needed to spot them. Super-Kamiokande showed that neutrinos morph from one type to two others as they travel, like strawberry milkshake turning into chocolate or vanilla. (Image: Kamioka Observatory, ICRR (Institute for Cosmic Ray Research), The University of Tokyo) The Standard Model The theories and discoveries of thousands of physicists since the 1930s have resulted in a remarkable insight into the fundamental structure of matter: everything in the universe is found to be made from a few basic building blocks called fundamental particles, governed by four fundamental forces. Our best understanding of how these particles and three of the forces are related to each other is encapsulated in the Standard Model of particle physics. Developed in the early 1970s, it has successfully explained almost all experimental results and precisely predicted a wide variety of phenomena. Over time and through many experiments, the Standard Model has become established as a well-tested physics theory. Matter particles All matter around us is made of elementary particles, the building blocks of matter. Forces and carrier particles There are four fundamental forces at work in the universe: the strong force, the weak force, the electromagnetic force, and the gravitational force.
