What is the difference between the subconscious reaction to baby crying in men and women?

A special reaction of women to children's crying is laid down at the level of an unconscious "program" of the brain. In a study by Italian scientists, men and women were asked to listen to 15-minute segments of white noise, interspersed with silence and the crying of a hungry child. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed that in men during crying, there was no change in brain activity patterns, while women's brain wave activity immediately changed. Moreover, this did not depend on whether the woman had children or not yet.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Robomobiles will be able to make decisions based on morality 15.07.2017

The development of autonomous driving technologies has raised many questions, including the difficult problem for autonomous systems of potential life-or-death decision making. Should autonomous car systems protect the lives of their owners at all costs, or will they have to sacrifice a driver to save a large group of people from death?

While there is no concrete answer to this question, a research team from Germany believes that morality may soon play a role in how self-driving cars will make decisions.

Evidence suggests that human morality is too context-dependent to accurately model, meaning that it cannot be effectively integrated into a self-governing algorithm.

Study participants were asked to drive a car in virtual reality through city streets on a foggy night. In virtual travels, they created emergency situations when it was impossible to avoid a collision with inanimate objects, animals or people. The subsequent decisions were modeled and turned into a set of rules creating a "value of life" model for every person, animal and inanimate object that might be involved in a traffic incident.

“Now that we know how to implement human ethical decisions into machines, we as a society are still left with a double dilemma,” says Professor Peter Koenig. “First, we must decide whether moral values should be included in the guidelines principles of how machines behave, and secondly, if there are any, should machines act in exactly the same way as people?
