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. ... >>

Neural compass in the brain 22.08.2019

Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology recorded the activity of multiple anterodorsal nucleus neurons in a mouse's brain while the mouse itself ran free. The work of those neurons that responded to head turns was then analyzed using topological methods.

Several thousand of these cells form a curved annular structure. (A similar ring was previously discovered in the Drosophila brain.) This ring converts heterogeneous information that enters the brain from the outside into information about which direction the head is in - turning the head corresponds to turning on neurons in one or another segment of the ring. Moreover, if a neuron makes a mistake, its neighbors will correct it, that is, the activity of nerve cells is attracted to a certain trajectory, as in mathematical attractors.

Even in a dream, when the neurons are almost disconnected from the outside world, the "compass" ring still worked - most likely because even in a dream the head is still directed somewhere, and the compass still feels this direction. True, in a dream, the shape and size of the ring changed - a different number of cells analyzed the position of the head, and relied on information of a different kind than during wakefulness.

In this case, it is important not only that they managed to discover the "compass", but also that the researchers for the first time managed to see a neural system that converts a lot of concrete facts into fairly abstract information - how the abstract direction of the head is obtained from specific stimuli acting on the senses . It is possible that other cognitive processes based on generalizations are carried out in similar neural structures, which, however, can have very different forms.
