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. ... >>

Electrical Brain Stimulation Improves Cognitive Ability 05.06.2023

American researchers conducted a meta-analysis of 102 scientific papers on the effects of non-invasive electrical brain stimulation and concluded that the procedure improves cognitive abilities in both healthy adults and the elderly and patients with neuropsychiatric disorders.

Rhythmic fluctuations in the neuronal activity of the brain are one of the most characteristic factors associated with cognitive abilities. Violations of these fluctuations are associated with differences in mental abilities between people, as well as with such deviations as autism spectrum disorders or schizophrenia. In some cases, it is possible to normalize this brain activity through electrical stimulation of the brain with alternating current transcranially - from the outside through the scalp and skull.

This treatment technique has been actively studied in recent years, but data on its effectiveness are scattered. To combine them and draw conclusions began scientists at Boston University with American colleagues.

The researchers analyzed the results of 102 scientific papers on the topic of transcranial electrical stimulation, in which a total of 2893 adult volunteers took part. The participants included both healthy and patients with depression, schizophrenia, cognitive impairment and other neuropsychiatric disorders.

The procedure was found to modestly improve aspects of cognitive function such as working and long-term memory, attention, intelligence, and executive functions. Moreover, the result concerned both participants with disabilities and healthy people, including the elderly. Therefore, the study provides new arguments in favor of further studies of the possibility of using transcranial electrical stimulation to improve mental abilities in humans.
