Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Electrical stimulation helps to hear a foreign language 13.08.2020

For many, the main problem in a foreign language is not even some tricky grammar, but its sound. One has to make tremendous efforts to learn to distinguish individual words and phrases in a stream of incomprehensible sounds. Just for such people, a device designed by researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and the University of California at San Francisco would be very useful.

The device is a small electrical stimulator that is placed in the ear. From the ear, it sends electrical impulses to one of the branches of the vagus nerve. The impulses are so weak that a person does not feel them, but the vagus nerve does. Such a stimulant, as it turned out, helps to hear a foreign language, even if this foreign language is Chinese.

It is known that Chinese (in this case we are talking about Mandarin Chinese, which is the official language in China, Taiwan and Singapore) is a tone language. In such languages, the meaning of a word depends on the pitch at which it is pronounced; pitch variations of syllables and words can completely change the meaning of what we are talking about. Northern Chinese has four tones; there are more complex ones, like lamnso, the language of the Nso people from Northern Cameroon, in which there are already eight tones, and the meaning of each tone is determined by its variations during the pronunciation of a particular word. There is no need to explain too much the difficulties faced by those who want to master Chinese.

In the experiment with an electrical stimulator, 36 people who spoke English from birth participated - they had to learn to distinguish four tones of Chinese in the speech of those for whom it is their native language. The vagus nerve was stimulated at the same time as the language exercise, and by the end of the experiment, nerve-stimulated volunteers distinguished tones 13% better than those who wore a stimulator but were not stimulated. In addition, those who received stimulation performed faster on language tasks.
