Men just don’t understand women.
It’s an old cliché that men don’t understand women. Now, new research suggests men really do struggle to read women’s emotions — at least from their eyes.

Research has shown that the differences between the male and female visual cortex means that men and women literally see the world differently. From differences in sensitivity to color, patterns, and hue to being more or less sensitive to movement against a pattern, understanding and making use of these differences in visual processing is essential to many fields such as advertising, manufacturing, and video development

Scientists have used brain scans to decode imagery directly from the brain.
Brain researchers can tell whom a person is thinking about by scanning the human brain. For the first time they have been able to identify what people are imagining from imaging technologies.

Scientists have long known that the young and old brains are very different.
A single molecular switch, that when flipped, helps create the mature neuronal connections that allow the brain to bridge the gap between adolescent impressionability and adult stability.

The presence of human cells made the mice’s brains function better.
Scientists discover that human brains cells transplanted into mice’s brains make the mice smarter. These results shed light on how important a certain overlooked class of brain cells are in human brains.

It’s a first for neuroscience, scientists have created an electronic link between the brains of two rats. They demonstrated that signals from the mind of one can help the second solve basic puzzles in real time — even when those animals are separated by thousands of miles.

A piece of electronics with physical properties, i.e. stiffness, bending rigidity, thickness and mass density, matched to the epidermis.
According to researchers, temporary electronic tattoos could soon help people fly drones with only thought and talk seemingly telepathically without speech over smartphones.

A MEG brain-imaging test being done on a baby while listening to spoken words.
Babies as young as 6 months are capable of making predictions based on probability, a higher level of reasoning than is commonly believed possible, researchers have discovered.

Multitasking is attempting to handle more than one task simultaneously.
As part of Simon Hørup Eskildsen’s, a ruby developer, research of super productivity, he has explored the topics of context switching and multitasking. Eskildsen found that multitasking has a tremendous effect on how we approach tasks and too much multitasking can negatively alter how our brain processes information.

Brain-computer interface (BCI) has been a favorite of science fiction movies for a long time. So, forget about keyboard, mouse, touch screens or even voice recognition: the real dream is thinking about what you want your gadget to do.

Virtual assistants will be useful for nany of us by the early 2020’s
Here are four interesting statements about the future:
1. Chemical brain preservation is a technology that may soon be validated to inexpensively preserve the key features of our memories and identity at our biological death.
2. If either chemical or cryogenic brain preservation can be validated to reliably store retrievable and useful individual mental information, these medical procedures should be made available in all societies as an option at biological death.
3. If computational neuroscience, microscopy, scanning, and robotics technologies continue to improve at their historical rates, preserved memories and identity may be affordably reanimated by being “uploaded” into computer simulations, beginning well before the end of this century.
4. In all societies where a significant minority (let’s say 100,000 people) have done brain preservation at biological death, significant positive social change will result in those societies today, regardless of how much information is eventually recovered from preserved brains.

How do doctors know if a patient is really dead?
This week, Newspapers reported a story about a woman who ‘returned from the dead’. Tasleem Rafiq collapsed at home and was taken to hospital in an ambulance where doctors tried to resuscitate her for about 45 minutes without success.
