Why was storks replaced in the title of the film The Cranes Are Flying for the Cannes Crane Festival?

Mikhail Kalatozov's film "The Cranes Are Flying" won the Palme d'Or at Cannes. But for the festival, the title of the film was translated as "Quand passent les cigognes", which means "When the storks arrive". The fact is that the literal translation of "Les grues volent" would also mean "Prostitutes steal" due to the ambiguity of each word.

Which birds help people look for honey and why?

Birds from the family of honeyguides love to feast on beeswax, but they are not able to penetrate the hive themselves. Instead, they look for humans or other mammals that eat honey, fly up to them and, in a peculiar behavior, ask to follow them, eventually leading to bees. After opening the hive, when a person takes the honey, these birds get access to the wax.

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. ... >>

The influence of the heart on feelings 11.05.2020

Although the heart beats on its own, and the brain cannot command the heart muscle when to contract and when to relax, the heart still listens to the brain. For example, in a dangerous situation, the brain makes the heart beat faster, and in a relaxed state, it allows it to beat less often. But not only the heart listens to the brain - the brain also listens to the heart.

The work of the heart can be divided into two phases: systole and diastole. During the systolic phase, the heart ejects blood from itself into the vessels, and then it goes through the body, during the diastole, the blood enters the heart. Previously, employees of the Institute of Consciousness and the Human Brain of the Max Planck Society found that perception changes depending on the phase of the heart rhythm: for example, if a weak current was applied to the finger, then the person felt the electrical tingling better during diastole - and during systole the sensitivity worsened.

Scientists have figured out what happens to the brain in the course of the heart rate. There are special waves in brain electrical activity called P300 that are thought to be associated with consciousness. And during systole, these "conscious" waves were suppressed. That is, the brain ignores those stimuli that are associated with the pulse. But since the conscious perception as a whole is muffled, then some weak signals from the outside world that fall on systole also pass by it. By the way, a few years ago we already wrote about how the brain closes the heart rate from our attention - after all, if we heard the heart rate, then at best it would distract us from what is happening around, and at worst - we would just went crazy.

If the brain does not suppress the perception of systole so much, then it generally processes external stimuli worse, even if they are strong. That is, the attention of the brain is dispersed between internal physiology and the outside world.
