Brain: Inside is the next great gadget
Advances in science are making our biological computer the next big frontier in human evolution. Uploading and downloading to the brain is no longer a matter of "if", it's just a matter of "when." The pride in Anton Guimerà's face was evident and two reasons explain this: the important step that the Spaniard and his team of researchers have taken towards better understanding and communication with the brain; and the fact that this same research was the cover of the renowned scientific journal Nature Materials. "We are developing graphene-based brain interfaces. We take advantage of the advantages of graphene to produce more comfortable probes and to record brain signals at very low frequencies that can not be registered by other technologies," explains the researcher at the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM CSIC). What Anton and the other researchers have done is to create a way to listen to the "whispers" of the brain, which significantly increases the information that can be collected in relation to brain activity. This breakthrough opens important gates in disease monitoring, such as epilepsy, "in which low frequencies play an important role within the brain because they allow us to perceive the mechanisms of epilepsy and to have tools to monitor these signals." On the other hand, it allows to have a greater number of brain activity recording sites for the mapping of speech production and this may be important in patients who have had strokes (strokes). Ultimately, by knowing what the brain "thinks", it will then be possible to create a device that connects these thoughts to a digital assistant to speak for us. What seems to be the realization of an idea worthy of Hollywood is only scratching the surface of a mine of possibilities that are yet to be unveiled. "There is a lot of work to be done in basic science to understand the mechanisms of the brain to encode information. Once they are known, it is possible to realize that we can build technology to download information from the brain, but you have to first understand how this information is encoded" , says Anton Guimerà. Teach computers to think like humans While advances are being made to put the brain more in line with what can be done on a computer, the reverse path is also being made. That is why since the 1950s it has been trying to teach computers to behave more like the human brain. It is only now, in the second decade of the twenty-first century, that artificial intelligence, the one that puts machines to think like humans, is showing its true potential. An example: DeepMind researchers created in late 2017 an artificial intelligence algorithm, AlphaZero, who learned by himself to play three of the most complex board games there are - chess, shogi and Go. And it only took him 24 hours to become master of these three challenges. The Neuralink company of millionaire Elon Musk is working to allow loading of information to the brain. "I have realized in recent years that artificial intelligence will obviously pass human intelligence to a large extent," he said. For Musk, the only way we can not be subjugated to the machines' will is to upgrade our capabilities as humans. It's these breakthroughs that are driving other pieces in technology chess, such as the Neuralink company, by millionaire Elon Musk, who is working to enable the loading of information into the brain. Because? "I have realized in recent years that artificial intelligence will obviously pass human intelligence to a great extent," the South African said in an interview in 2017. For Musk, the only way we can not be subjugated to the machines' will is to upgrade our capabilities as humans. A vision that for Martin Wezowski, leading designer and futurist in German technology SAP, is not correct. "We're already assuming that it's competition [between humans and machines.] That's an unfair assumption, I'd say technology and humans are always living in a symbiosis." Look at the fire, we invented the fire and we started to control it " , exemplified. The expert has a word for this mix between human and machine that seems inevitable - Humachine. "There is no knot against them. It's us, period." Martin is a believer in the infusion of technology in the human brain and explains his position using the French word amour, which means love. "If we see that the neural pathways are linked in a certain way to create a memory, such as a word in French, what about making that connection, but without having memory?" "Basically, deploying information." "With nanotechnology or other investigations in which the brain can be influenced by light, information can be put in. One day, when you drink a coffee full of nanorobots, what you are drinking is the way to the French language. " This is a future, in Martin's own words, "possible," but now "imaginary," it is "science fiction." Which in itself ends up not being a problem, because dreaming of what seems impossible is what makes someone, like Anton Guimerà, move the stones necessary to create the path to the final vision.

Read emails on the sleeve of the shirt? Portuguese technology joins electronics and textiles
Technology developed in partnership with the University of Aveiro allows to create pieces of clothing with touch screens. It is an innovative technique allows to integrate devices based on graphene directly into textile fibers, while maintaining the look, flexibility and touch of fabric. Imagining touch screens on clothing is no longer unique to science fiction books, and although it is not yet possible to read an e-mail in the sleeve of the shirt, there is already Portuguese technology that will soon make this possibility a reality. A team of researchers from the University of Aveiro "helped to develop a pioneering technique that allows fully electronic fibers to be woven into textile fabrics," the university said in a statement on Monday. "The breakthrough could revolutionize the creation of wearable electronic devices for use in a variety of everyday applications, from e-mail access to medical diagnostics." A partnership between CICECO - Instituto de Materiais de Aveiros, one of the research units of the University of Aveiro, the Belgian textile research center CENTEXBEL and the English University of Exeter, has developed a technology that "integrates the electronic devices in the fabric, electronic fibers with light and durable components that will allow images and light signals to be shown by the fabric itself. " This new technique contrasts with what has been done so far and that is to stick devices in the fabrics of the clothes, making them rigid. Helena Alves, a CICECO researcher, explains that the technique she helped to develop is a technique "that allows the integration of graphene-based devices directly into textile fibers, while maintaining the look, flexibility and touch of fabric." However, the partnership still only created "touch sensors, such as those used on touch screens, and light emitting devices," he said. Moreover, the researchers stressed the potential of new technology that could revolutionize the way we query information by introducing tactile screens onto clothing. "The creation of wearable electronic devices for use in a variety of daily applications, whether simply accessing e-mail through clothing or monitoring health status through sensors that can measure, for example, heart rate and blood pressure, and warn you when something is wrong, "reads the note. The CICECO researcher also assured that "the combination of these devices allows, for example, to create touch-screens on fabrics or objects coated with textiles, to visualize information".

Find out the "healing power" of the beach
In vacation time and with the sea inviting you to the baths, it never hurts to recover the benefits of a beach trip! In addition to the sense of freedom that the beach offers, experts affirm the precious value for health that a visit to the beach can provide for children and adults of all ages. With proper care of schedules and sunscreen to prevent overeating, there are at least five good reasons not to miss this contact with nature. It is no longer surprising that the sun is an important source of Vitamin D and that, with the necessary precautions, it is good for sun exposure. At the same time, the beach offers relaxation, a sense of pleasure and an unmistakable harmony, all because, the sea reassures while the contact with the sand calms. And everything comes down to small details: the sea reassures only by the observation of its immensity and movement. The blue tone has a very positive influence on the human mind, especially on the level of creativity. The power of the sea over the human being is so significant that scientists believe there are differences between people living nearer and further away from the coastline. In the position of the experts, "the inhabitants in the coastal zones of several countries, report better levels of mental and physical health". Given this "relaxing power", it is worth not only taking a sea bath, but also taking some time to contemplate. Sounds can also make all the difference when well-being is spoken ... New studies indicate that, the rumor of the sea promotes empathy and, it all begins with a simple blindfold! Hear the sound of water and the surf noise is not only very pleasant as it increases the willingness to understand others. Curiously, by "discouraging the brain," as Richard Shuster asserts, these types of sounds "activate the parasympathetic system, which is responsible for making us relax and pay more attention to those around us." There is a lot of talk about the sea and the powerful effect that the iodine that is breathed on the beach promotes the body. In this chapter, science refers to the scent of waters as a "generator of emotional defenses." The explanation is simple: "the sea breeze is charged with negative ions that, when inspired, create a sense of well-being and also increase the emotional defenses that will be used when summer is over." These findings emerge from research published in the Journal of Alternative Complementary Medicine that highlights the importance of these oxygen molecules with a supplemental electron as a powerful therapy to treat, for example, seasonal affective syndrome, characterized by great melancholy in the cold Since everything on the beach is good, let's go to the sand! "Feeling the feel of putting your feet in the soft, warm sand is enough to tell the brain that it's time to slow down," the scientists say. Richard Shuster assures that, the sand promotes "the feeling of relaxation since it is usually the first 'business card' when it comes to the beach. The touch of the feet on the beach is the first physical sensation we enjoy upon arriving, so the brain is immediately given the indication that it is in a pleasant place and to rest. " For all these reasons, but whatever you add, go to a beach near you!

The secret of the military to fall asleep in just two minutes
If you are one of those who can not sleep and often end up 'counting sheep', then do not despair because there is good news. It has recently been unveiled a secret military technique that claims to be able to help anyone fall asleep in just two minutes. The trick is supposedly used by the US military to help soldiers fall asleep in situations that are less than ideal, such as in war scenarios and battlefields. This secret had already been released in the book 'Relax and Win: Championship Performance' in 1981, but has recently gained popularity after being shared on the British information website Joe.co.uk . It is thought that the heads of the armed forces will have developed the technique in order to ensure that the soldiers did not make mistakes due to exhaustion. Here's what you should do: 1. Relax the muscles of the face, including the tongue, chin and muscles around the eyes. 2. Lower the shoulders as much as possible, the upper arm and the forearm (one side at a time). 3. Exhale, relaxing the chest and then the legs - starting from the thighs down. 4. Then spend about 10 seconds trying to empty your mind before focusing on one of these three scenarios: . You are lying in a canoe, in a calm lake, with nothing but the blue sky above you; . You are lying on a bed of black velvet hammock in a dark room; . You say uninterruptedly to yourself for 10 seconds: 'Do not think, do not think, do not think'. According to the experts the technique works in 96% of the individuals who adopt it after six weeks of practice. And you, will you try it? Good dreams!
