Research suggests people can generate false memories within the blink of an eye.In a series of four experiments led by the University of Amsterdam, researchers showed 534 people letters of the Western alphabet in actual and mirrored orientations.After some participants were shown an interference slide with random letters designed to scramble the original memory, all participants were asked to recall a target letter from the first slide.Half a second after viewing the first slide, almost 20 percent of people had formed an…

Machine learning of brain-behavior dimensions reveals four subtypes of autism spectrum disorder linked to distinct molecular pathways. Here, the 3D prism cube represents the machine learning of the three brain-behavior dimensions, etched onto the prism’s glass. White light or “data” passes into the prism or “machine learning algorithm,” splitting into four colored light paths that represent the spectrum of autistic people in the four autism subtypes. The painted background of a sequencing array represents the molecular…

By removing certain amino acids from the diets fed to rodents suffering from a deadly form of brain cancer known as glioblastoma, researchers found that destructive cells began dying through a process called ferroptosis. What's more, the mice that were put on the restrictive diets were also more receptive to drugs that triggered the same type of cancer cell death, making the findings a potential source of inquiry for fighting the disease in humans.Cell death inside our bodies is a normal part of how we function.…

But we're currently in a precarious moment, according to Philip Rosedale, founder of Linden Labs and advisor to Midjourney. Rosedale compared the current state of generative AI to the creation of the internet in the 1990s, when there was tremendous hype, opportunity, and uncertainty about what would happen next.In an interview with ZDNET, Rosedale remarked that the present…

The Linseman Laboratory’s study investigates long-term brain health effects of COVID-19 in individuals with and without traumatic brain injury (TBI). Preliminary findings suggest those with a history of both COVID-19 and TBI experience more severe long COVID symptoms. The study also explores biomarkers in blood samples, indicating that exosomes from these individuals cause inflammation in lab-grown astrocytes. This research could potentially lead to treatments that inhibit the inflammatory pathway.The Linseman Laboratory…

Google is without doubt the most popular search engine in the world for over a decade now and it seems that Google’s dominance will continue in the near future but do you know that Indian professor was the brain behind the creation of Google. Yes, you read it right, the name of the professor was Rajeev Motwani. In this article, we will know more about Rajeev Motwani. Rajeev Motwani (March 24, 1962 – June 5, 2009) was a professor of Computer Science at Stanford University and was a special advisor to Sequoia…

Although it is possible to control devices using brain waves, doing so usually involves having electrodes and conductive gel applied to one's head. Now, however, scientists have developed a new-and-improved type of "dry" electrode – and it's been used to mind-control a robot.One of the obvious problems with conductive gel is the fact that users are left with a bunch of goop on their head, which they have to wash off. Additionally, some people's skin may have an allergic reaction to the gel.Dry electrodes which don't…

Learning is one of life's defining characteristics, and every living thing, from birds to slime mold, possesses this ability to varying degrees.In the simplest of organisms, repeated exposure to the same stimuli can cause non-associative learning in the form of habituation or sensitization.According to recent research, starlet sea anemones (Nematostella vectensis) are capable of surprisingly sophisticated learning, as evidenced by their ability to remember the connection between light and electric pulses."This is exactly…

A brain wave reader that can detect lies. Miniaturized cameras that sit inside vape pens and disposable coffee cups. Massive video cameras that zoom in more than a kilometer to capture faces and license plates.At a police conference in Dubai in March, new technologies for the security forces of the future were up for sale. Far from the eyes of the general public, the event provided a rare look at what tools are now available to law enforcement around the world: better and harder-to-detect surveillance, facial recognition…
