Take your time: Neurobiology sheds light on the superiority of spaced vs. massed learning - 0 views

  •  
    "Our current study demonstrates that the timing of information coming into a memory circuit - specifically, CA1 hippocampus - is critical for optimal encoding of new information," he continues. "When similar patterns of information are separated by at least an hour - a typical classroom session - there is a dramatically enhanced encoding of this info. The key challenge to realizing this discovery was actually linking electrical properties of the circuit, which is done by physiological recordings, to physical, morphological and anatomical properties of the circuit, which is done by high-resolution imaging of synapses before and after stimulation."

Wearing a Computer Is Good for You - Technology Review - 0 views

  •  
    The last time your doctor asked how much you exercise, did you tell the truth? Do you even really know the truth-not just how many visits to the gym you've made this month, but how many hours you sit or how many calories you burn in a day? What if your doctor had already received the information from a tiny device built into your cell phone, wallet, or undershirt? Sonny Vu believes a device like this could fundamentally change health care. "You can't just lie to your doctor-it's all there, recorded," he says. "You cut right to the chase rather than having to tease out all that information."

3D body suit sees healthcare research action - 0 views

  •  
    Using this 3D body suit, they are able to shoot 3D motion capture right out of the lab. More details about this suit - known as MVN BIOMECH from Xsens, this 3D human kinematic, camera-less measurement system will come integrated with small tracking sensors that are placed on the joints. All the sensors on the suit will comprise of a trio of components: an accelerometer, magnetometers and a gyroscope, working in tandem to deliver information on each of the joints, body segments between the joints and the 3D movements. Currently, a project is being developed to see how nurses are able to lift patients safely into a hospital bed without having to strain themselves.

The Human Body, Searchable in 3-D - Technology Review - 0 views

  •  
    The first online 3-D interactive search tool of the human body was released today.  It allows a user to view and navigate the human anatomy, male or female, down to the finest detail-from the muscles and deep muscles to the nerves, arteries, vessels, and bones. This new tool, called BodyMaps, was developed by Healthline Networks, a company that provides medical information to consumers online, and GE Healthyimagination, a Web-based platform that shares and promotes projects that focus on consumer health, such as apps or healthy how-to videos.

New Service From Harvard Aims to Replace Classroom Lectures - 0 views

  •  
    Lectures made sense before the invention of the printing press, argues Harvard physics professor Eric Mazur, but at this point in history they are far from the best way to transmit large amounts of information or to make use of face-to-face time in the classroom.

Mapping connectomes in the visual cortex | KurzweilAI - 0 views

  •  
    Scientists at University College London have developed a technique that enables them to combine information about the function of neurons together with details of their synaptic connections, finding that connection probability is related to the similarity of visually driven neuronal activity.

RNA duplicating RNA, a step closer to the origin of life - 0 views

  •  
    According to the "RNA world" model of life's origin, RNA performed all of the operations that are essential to life. RNA alone passed on genetic information and catalyzed the reactions of basic metabolism; DNA and proteins were not in the picture. The RNA world hypothesis is an appealingly simple model for simple early life forms, since it allows the complex array of biochemical interactions among proteins, DNA, and RNA to evolve gradually.
