Brain Signals Reconstruct Pink Floyd Song
Brain recordings detected Pink Floyd. From the recorded activity of intracranial electroencephalography (EEG) electrodes placed on the brains of 29 epilepsy surgery patients, the phrase “all in all, it was just a brick in the wall” from Pink Floyd came through — its rhythm intact, its lyrics muffled yet decipherable, reported Ludovic Bellier, PhD, of […]
Babies react to taste and smell in the womb: Direct evidence that babies react differently to various smells and tastes while in the womb
Scientists have recorded the first direct evidence that babies react differently to various smells and tastes while in the womb by looking at their facial expressions. A study led by Durham University’s Fetal and Neonatal Research Lab, UK, took 4D ultrasound scans of 100 pregnant women to see how their unborn babies responded after being […]
New Study Reveals Why Infectious Diseases Are Spreading More Rapidly
More than half of all human infectious diseases in recorded history — Lyme, West Nile, hantavirus, typhoid, HIV and influenza, to name a few — have been exacerbated by the mounting impacts of greenhouse gas-driven climate change. That is the sobering conclusion of a new, first-of-its-kind paper that combed through more than 70,000 scientific studies […]
Two largest Mars-quakes to date recorded from planet’s far side
The seismometer placed on Mars by NASA’s InSight lander has recorded its two largest seismic events to date: a magnitude 4.2 and a magnitude 4.1 marsquake. The pair are the first recorded events to occur on the planet’s far side from the lander and are five times stronger than the previous largest event recorded. Seismic […]
