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.

Concert after a stroke 17.12.2008

Doctors at the University Hospital in Helsinki, Finland are experimenting with a new way to rehabilitate stroke patients. They were divided into three groups: one of them listened to the music chosen by the patients themselves for many hours every day, the second - to audio books, the third did not listen to anything.

Almost all participants in the experiment suffered from movement, memory and concentration disorders. After three months of such a regime, memorization of words improved by 60% in those who listened to music, in the second group - by 18%, in the third - by 29%. The ability to concentrate attention and solve problems in the mind in those who listened to music improved by 17%, in patients of the other two groups there were no changes. In addition, "musical" patients were less likely to have confusion and depression of consciousness.

Finnish doctors recommend starting music therapy as soon as possible after a stroke, but emphasize that this is not a replacement for conventional treatments, but only an addition to them.
