Biosensors empowering robots to detect different odors

A new technological development by Tel Aviv University has made it possible for a robot to smell using a biological sensor. The sensor sends electrical signals as a response to the presence of a nearby odor, which the robot can detect and interpret. In this new study, the researchers successfully connected the biological sensor to Read more about Biosensors empowering robots to detect different odors[…]

What type of neural mechanisms are the basis for emotional responses to music

Researchers at the University of Turku have discovered what type of neural mechanisms are the basis for emotional responses to music. Altogether 102 research subjects listened to music that evokes emotions while their brain function was scanned with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The study was carried out in the national PET Centre. The researchers Read more about What type of neural mechanisms are the basis for emotional responses to music[…]
