AI just took away the last person who’d tell you you’re wrong

Something has been bothering people about technology for a while now. We're more connected than ever, and somehow more alone. In his 2024 book The Anxious Generation, In his 2024 book The Anxious Generation, Jonathan Haidt shows teenage anxiety and depression rising...

Are we really in darkness when our eyes are covered?

This work presents a blindfold-integrated system capable of measuring in real time the residual light reaching the eyes during visual deprivation studies, enabling precise quantification of experimental darkness levels.

Meta built a digital brain you can run experiments on

The AI models behind ChatGPT, modern video generators, and voice assistants were never trained on brains. They learned from text, video, and audio scraped off the internet. And yet, a new paper from Meta’s FAIR lab shows that if you take what these models have internally learned and add a small layer trained on fMRI recordings (a kind of brain scan) from 720 people, the result is something close to a working model of the human brain.

From zero to a neuroscience laboratory

Methodological article proposing a structured framework for designing multimodal laboratories in neuroscience, addressing infrastructure, environmental control, synchronization and data management.

Can AI Make Brain-Computer Interfaces Actually Work?

Brain-computer interfaces have promised to let people control machines with their thoughts, but they have a fundamental problem: brain signals, especially those captured without surgery, are noisy and imprecise. Most research has tried to build better decoders to extract cleaner commands from the noise, but there’s a limit to how much that helps. A recent study took a different approach.

Measuring presence at work

Two application tools for work environments are presented, improving the understanding of presence and its impact on organizational results.

Extrasensory perception in spiritual experiences

This unique case study with EEG showing the differences between imagination, perception and a supposed extrasensory state.

Effects of gratitude on cells

This study explores how gratitude-induced acoustic changes in the human voice could influence cell proliferation, suggesting a possible interaction between emotions and cell biology through physical principles.

Advances in sonobiology

Sonobiology studies how acoustic waves and low vibrations influence key cellular processes, such as growth and differentiation, through mechanisms that connect mechanical stimuli with gene expression.

Silence in biological environments

This study presents a new sound-absorbing material made from plastic bottles and biocompatible PET felt.
