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. ... >>

Ear shape affects hearing 03.04.2018

Changing the shape of the auricle can deprive a person of the ability to determine where the sound source is. Canadian scientists came to this conclusion by temporarily changing the shape of the ears of several people.

The fact that we have two ears, not one allows us to localize sound in a horizontal plane; the brain takes into account the time gap between how the sound wave reaches the ears, and interprets it as a displacement of the source to the left or right. But this system does not help to understand whether the sound comes from below or above: the complex shape of the auricle helps us in this. Scientists from the University of Montreal figured out how the shape of the ear affects the ability to navigate by sounds.

16 volunteers took part in the experiment. Each of them sat in a chair in a specially equipped room, where speakers were placed at different heights to the left and right of the chair. Participants in the experiment had to determine where the sound was coming from. They did it well, but only until the scientists fixed silicone pads on their ears that changed the shape of the auricle. After that, the volunteers began to say that the sound came from above, while the bottom speaker actually worked, and vice versa. True, after a while, the pads stopped interfering with sound localization: the brain adapted to the new shape of the ear. The shape of the auricle of each person is individual; There are no two identical ears, just as there are no identical fingerprints, so the specific criteria by which the brain determines the height of a sound source are also strictly individual, the authors of the work conclude.

During the experiment, the scientists recorded the activity of neurons in the auditory cortex using MRI. Scanning showed that the higher the sound source, the weaker the response of neurons; it is possible that the brain determines the height of the sound source by the level of cell activity, Trapo and Schoenwiesner believe.
