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. ... >>

The priest had a dog 01.04.2001

The experiment, as if inspired by this endless folk poem, was conducted by employees of the Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig (Germany).

Studying the dependence of the behavior of dogs on the presence of a person, they put some tidbit on the floor in front of the dog and strictly forbade touching it. While the experimenter remained in the room, the dog most often did not have enough food, but after his exit, no more than 5 seconds passed before the forbidden piece disappeared. Then human behavior was made more diverse. In some experiments, while in the room, he looked directly at the dog, in others he sat with his back to it or closed his eyes, or even played computer games.

Conclusion: dogs are able to vigilantly follow the direction of a person’s gaze. If the experimenter did not look directly at the animal, the amount of food eaten contrary to the prohibition doubled.

When a person looked at a dog, if it still grabbed food, in 75% of cases it did it stealthily - walked around the room, as if not paying attention to the treat, and then, as if by chance, grabbed a piece. If the "watchman" played on the computer, then such evasive behavior was observed only in 24% of cases.

The results of the experiment refute the idea of the behavior of dogs as a simple complex of conditioned and unconditioned reflexes.
