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. ... >>

Memories make us forget 21.03.2015

Neuroscientists from the University of Cambridge came to a paradoxical conclusion: the more we try to remember something, the more we damage our memory. The experiment involved several volunteers who had to remember the pictures shown to them a little earlier. Brain activity was monitored using magnetic resonance imaging, and the researchers could accurately compare a particular memory and its characteristic pattern of brain activity.

There were several sessions of remembering, and each time it was necessary to focus on a specific image, the memory of which became brighter and brighter. At the same time, however, memory for other things was weakening: in a paper in Nature Neuroscience, the authors describe how the recall activity of the cerebral cortex suppressed other activity that supported the memory of irrelevant images. In other words, when we try to remember something, we always forget something.

This can be visualized on the example of a computer: for example, as if we, regularly opening the "Documents" folder, at some point discovered that the "Photos" folder, which we opened much less frequently, had disappeared. Fortunately, this does not happen in a computer, but in our memory it does: one of its cells competitively suppresses the activity of another.

You should not see here only an evolutionary lack of the brain: memory optimization allows you to get rid of unnecessary or bad memories that can give us nothing but stress. On the other hand, we must be very careful about what we "remember exactly" and "do not remember exactly": what we remember most often displaces something that we do not need at the moment - and this process has a well-defined neurobiological mechanism. Probably, that's why you shouldn't get involved in learning one particularly difficult question before the exam - you run the risk of forgetting even what you seemed to know well.
