V-Coptr Falcon, drone of the future: 2 rotors and brain up
V-Coptr Falcon is strong and silent. The drone of the future shows an unconventional approach and decidedly over the top performance.
Obtained the most detailed human brain scan ever
1000 times more accurate than an MRI: the scan of the human brain just obtained in Massachusetts is a milestone.
Brain fusing with AI will be like doing plastic surgery for intelligence
Electrodes that enhance the brain will soon be like "plastic surgery of intelligence" and will allow us to obtain cybernetic powers: in fact we will be cyborgs, scientists will implant artificial intelligence directly into our heads. Today, electrodes that deliver impulses to the brain are able to stabilize patients with seizures: the results are surprisingly promising. Soon the brain-computer interface will allow radical treatments even for psychological disorders such as depression. Raising the mind Kelly and Zach Weinersmith, couple at work and in life… Read more
Facebook acquires CTRL-Labs and its bracelet that "reads" the brain
The CTRL-Labs wrist band encodes the signals sent from the brain to the hand and transforms them into actions in VR or AR environments.
Metformin regenerates the brain, but it only works on women, children and mice
In-depth analyzes of metformin showed a strong difference between the sexes: female specimens react better, on males it does not work.
Confirmations are coming: the brain also has a microbiome
The brain also hosts a microbiome, the group of bacteria that the body works with. It is an epochal turning point: it had always been considered a sterile area.
Electronic nose identifies brain tumors in real time by “sniffing” tissues
The device is able to "smell" the surgical smoke produced by the cuts of the electric scalpel, distinguishing the type of tumor and tissue (and helping the neurosurgeon in real time)
Full 3D printed heads improve brain operations
Operate a patient after training on an exact 3D replica of the skull, brain and tumor on which to intervene
Forget the foam: the “liquid” helmet mimics the brain to protect the head.
One company has created helmets with small "air chambers" placed inside the helmet and filled with a thick liquid like oil that mimics the dynamics of cerebrospinal fluids.
3D Shot projects holograms into the brain to reproduce sensations (and restore sight to the blind)
Fake experiences and memories, new sight for the blind, increased senses: a device being tested on mice can open the doors to the holographic universe.
Neuralink, the startup of Elon Musk who wants to connect the brain to the computer increases the funds
Neuralink wants to connect the human brain with a computer to increase data exchange between the two systems and provide a “bionic” alternative to artificial intelligence.
Muse, take a look at your brain
There are several wearable devices already designed to monitor our vital parameters, from heartbeat to sleep patterns: a group of inventors is bringing to the market a user-friendly and wearable approach to brain wave monitoring. InteraXon is a Canadian company that is working hard to introduce a band called Muse, to be worn on the forehead, which uses 4 EEG (Electro Encephalogram) sensors capable of showing the traces of the brain. In the initial release… Read more
Preserving the brain to live again in digital form: plastination.
Death is the end of everything. Our brain, which has functioned well for many decades, at the moment of our departure from the world, in the space of just twenty minutes undergoes anoxia and neurons and synapses fall apart. No machine, after such damage, will be able to revive us; it will be able to reactivate cardiac functions and circulation but our brain will be gone forever. And to say that the brain has "gone" for philosophy... Read more
How AI will unleash the potential of students with dyslexia and ADHD
AI tools are transforming the lives of people with dyslexia and ADHD – here's an overview.
From the plate to our organs, shocking study reveals the journey of microplastics
A new study sheds light on the disturbing infiltration of microplastics into human tissues, including the kidneys, liver and brain.
Kaskadi birds sing in their sleep, and we “heard” their dreams
Thanks to electrodes and mathematical models, they reconstruct the sound "sung" silently during the thresholds. A discovery that brings us closer to the animal mind.
LLM, the dead end: why ChatGPT and others will never get us to AGI
Despite the exponential increase in energy consumption, Large Language Models show only linear improvements. Signs of a dead end towards AGI.
Synthetic Memories wants to obtain photographs from our memories
Synthetic Memories creates “memory snapshots” from brain data, capturing memories with imperfections that make them lifelike.
Cyborg office manager! I'll tell you about the posthuman work that (maybe) will be
Microchips, magnets, connected brains: the posthuman future is upon us. What do we intend to do when he also knocks on the door?
Did we live better before, without technology? Before When?
Technology has always shaped humanity as much as humanity creates technology. It is this profound co-evolution, from prehistoric flints to AI, that makes us "wise animals".
