Registered patents indicate that this may not be quite as far-fetched as it sounds. The 6506148 B2 patent, entitled: “Nervous System Manipulation By Electromagnetic Fields From Monitors,” […]

Immune cells ATTACK the aging brain and release a substance that hinders new nerve cell production, report scientists
One of the defining features of the brain that sets it apart from all other organs of the human body (except muscles) is that it is made up of cells that cannot regenerate. The nerve cells in the brain called neurons are terminally differentiated, meaning that, unlike skin cells or blood cells, they cannot reproduce. So […]

Neuroscientists construct 3D facial models using data from a person’s brain when remembering the face of someone familiar
The code that our brains use to tell faces apart has been reverse engineered. This is because, for the first time, neuroscientists were able to construct 3D facial models using information stored in an individual’s brain when recalling faces of familiar people. The study, published in the Nature Human Behaviour journal, came about as a […]

Study shows “brain zapping” can help improve your memory
A new study, published in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, found that giving your brain a tiny zap can help stimulate parts of it that deal with memory, specifically the prefrontal cortex. Participants of this study were around 15.4 percent more likely to recall fuzzy memories, according to co-author of the study Jesse Rissman, assistant professor at the University of […]

Beyond the senses: Blind people develop accurate ideas about appearance using inference
People who were born blind will have never seen an animal before. Despite their disability, a recent study has suggested that blind people can have surprisingly accurate ideas about an animal’s appearance. Researchers from John Hopkins University (JHU) investigated how blind people developed insight into the appearance of something that they have never seen. They published […]

Scientists explain how the brain’s “inner pickpocket” identifies objects
How do skilled pickpockets figure out an object with just the slightest touch? A study from the University of Cambridge and Columbia University revealed that the brain can identify an object’s properties using purely statistical information. In sum, everyone has an “inner pickpocket” lurking inside them. This interesting finding not only explains why this form of thievery […]

Can your inbuilt “compass” respond to changes in Earth’s magnetic field?
A team of Japanese and American researchers reported that some humans share the natural ability of animals to detect magnetic fields. Thanks to their internal compass that senses the north magnetic pole, these individuals may have a superior sense of direction compared with other people. Homing pigeons, turtles, and warthogs are just some examples of […]

Research shows babies are born with innate skills that help them pick out individual words from speech
As it turns out, babies do come with tools to help them understand the world. That’s what Dr. Ana Flo of the NeuroSpin Center and her international team of researchers suggest in their study, published in the journal Developmental Science. The team found that humans are born with memory capacity and the ability to process […]
