Visual Face-preference in the Human Fetus?

It has been shown in previous studies that newborn babies are able to recognize a "face-like" stimulus, indicating a baby is able to recognize a face very quickly. Here's a new study that seems to indicate the babies are able to do in utero as well. This would mean that the ability to recognize faces is built into the human brain.

A recent study published in Cell describes a new brain stimulation technique that requires no surgical implants, even for regions of the brain towards the centre. Tests were successful in mice, and the researchers are now pursuing testing in humans. If successful, this could mean a revolution in neuroscience.

Have you ever played Ms. Pac-Man? If so... have you played over 3000 rounds of it? Because that's how long it took for a Microsoft Artificially Intelligent program called Maluuba to learn how to get the highest possible score in the game, 999999. Check out how it did it... and don't worry, there's no worry of this AI taking over the world.

NASA's Cassini-Huygens mission has begun its final mission phase, making its first dive between the planet Saturn and its rings. It is the only craft to ever make that plunge. Check out some of the amazing images it took as it went through, including the north pole hexagonal vortex.

Human Rights and Neurotechnology

Profile picture for user Jesse Rogerson

May 1, 2017
Imagine the technology existed to either measure or manipulate your brain activity without your consent. Understandably, this would seem uncomfortable at best, and total infringement of human rights at worst. Perhaps this future isn't too far off because a paper recently published in Life Sciences, Society, and Policy explores the idea of expanding human rights to include our cognitive processes. In the expanding world of neuroscience and neurotechnology, it's worth thinking about how we'll

A group of scientists have discovered what causes fungi to glow in the dark. It turns out that it is a very similar process to what fireflies and angler fish use. Another case of convergent evolution, the idea that unrelated organisms can evolve to have similar characteristics.

Recluse Spiders Have an Interesting Way of Spinning their Web

Profile picture for user Jesse Rogerson

The recluse spider has a very different way of spinning its web. Arachnologists (yes... that's a real profession) from Chile have taken high speed videos of the recluse spider spinning its web to reveal that the spider can create the web entirely automatically, without the help of its legs or having to attach the web to something and pull. Check out the videos attached to the article, they're weird and awesome.
