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 ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

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. ... >>

Brain implant translates thoughts into words 14.11.2023

Scientists from Duke University have developed an innovative brain implant that can translate thoughts into words and enable communication based on brain activity. This device is aimed at helping people who suffer from language disorders or who are unable to communicate verbally for various reasons. The first experiments showed the promise of this area of research.

Experiments to convert brain activity into text and voice communication, carried out by scanning patients' brain signals, now make it possible to transmit "thoughts" into words at speeds of up to 78 words per minute. This is comparable to listening to an audiobook at half the speed, according to the study authors. Typically, a person speaks up to 160 words per minute, which makes communication lively and natural. However, for people with speech disorders, more accurate sensors of brain activity are needed.

A team of scientists from Duke University, in collaboration with the university's biomedical engineering laboratory, created a brain activity sensor with 256 sensors on a piece of plastic the size of a postage stamp. This new sensor is capable of recording signals from individual neurons with high accuracy.

Scientists did not plan to read minds directly. However, by using complex signals from the muscles of the tongue apparatus, such as the tongue, larynx and facial muscles, they were able to accurately determine the unspoken opinions of patients (the tongue apparatus is controlled by up to 100 muscles, the signals from which must be monitored). In this way, a phrase spoken mentally could be transmitted into muscle signals, and from this data read from the brain, the computer could reproduce whatever the patient intended to say. For patients with a speech disorder, thoughts could remain in the cerebral cortex, but thanks to the sensor they were able to be spoken by a computer.

An experiment with four patients showed that the average accuracy of recognizing thoughts into words was 40%, and the maximum was 84%. The recognition algorithm was learned using the “listen and repeat” method. The patient uttered short, awkward combinations of letters, in which the algorithm learned to recognize brain activity in various combinations of sounds.

Despite the relatively low percentage of sound recognition, the team of scientists says the experiment was successful. The algorithm learned for only 90 seconds during a 15-minute test. Exactly this amount of time was allocated to the experimenters with each patient. This happened during planned brain surgeries on patients. At the end of the operation, the neurosurgeons gave the scientists 15 minutes to work with the patients on their program. Without access to the open brain, on a specific part of the cortex of which the sensor was installed, this study would have been impossible to conduct.
