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. ... >>

Neurocomputer interface implanted in human 30.07.2022

The brain-computer interface has become a reality in the United States (albeit limited so far). Synchron says it has become the first company in the country to successfully implant a brain-machine interface into a human.

Doctors at New York's Mount Sinai West Medical Center implanted a Stentrode device into the motor cortex of a patient who agreed to take part in the COMMAND experiment sponsored by Synchron. Its purpose is to evaluate the usefulness and safety of brain-computer interfaces in enabling people suffering from severe paralysis to control the device without using their hands.

Ideally, Stentrode's technology should enable these people to self-send emails, text messages, and perform other digital tasks that healthy people take for granted.

Surgeons installed the implant through an endovascular procedure that avoided major open-brain surgery by inserting it through the jugular vein. The operation went "extremely well" and, according to Synchron, the patient was able to return home within 48 hours. The ongoing experiment in Australia is also going well, with four patients who received implants a year ago doing well.

It is clear that by the time when doctors can offer the installation of Synchron brain-computer interfaces to all patients in need, a lot of time will pass.

In July 2021, the company received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to perform an interface implantation operation in humans under the COMMAND pilot program, which is still active at the time of this writing.

The US procedure was a significant step forward. It will allow people suffering from paralysis to regain the ability to independently control their lives. It also testifies to the victory of Synchron in the competition - Elon Musk, for example, has not yet received FDA approval for the use of implants developed by his company.
