Artificial intelligence capable of decoding brain activity during sleep

Posted on by Haptic

We sleep on average one third of our time. But what does the brain do during these long hours? Using an artificial intelligence approach capable of decoding brain activity during sleep, scientists at the University of Geneva (UNIGE), Switzerland, were able to glimpse what we think about when we are asleep. By combining functional magnetic Read more about Artificial intelligence capable of decoding brain activity during sleep[…]

Emotions to be discovered by video games

Posted on by Haptic

Emotions are complex phenomena that influence our minds, bodies and behaviour. A number of studies have sought to connect given emotions, such as fear or pleasure, to specific areas of the brain, but without success. Some theoretical models suggest that emotions emerge through the coordination of multiple mental processes triggered by an event. These models Read more about Emotions to be discovered by video games[…]

Switzerland winds up superconductivity

Posted on by Haptic

The unusual electronic properties of some superconducting materials permit lossless and dense electrical currents at very low temperatures, even in high magnetic fields. Conductors made of these materials are thus ideal for winding coils to generate very high magnetic fields, which are essential for a number of applications like magnetic medical imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy Read more about Switzerland winds up superconductivity[…]
