It has been assumed that age is the momentous barrier to the brain’s ability to concentrate. The truth has come to the light indicating the fact that the ability to concentrate remains impervious irrespective of the age. This enthralling fact was given after the careful observation made based on the brainpower of the old and young individuals. From this surveillance it was found that people from both the category performed alike which exterminates the age factor. Surprisingly the aged group also showed superior response when it comes to multitasking, which means rapidly switching from one job to another. The only constraint regarding this factor is they should be given more time to react to the stimuli. Their capability to employ themselves in several senses concurrently also remained intact.

Researchers have designed a computer that can read people’s minds by just glancing at the scans of their brains whenever they think about specific words. They believe that this will surely be a breakthrough in analyzing the functionalities of the brain. This study would therefore reveal the fact about storage functions of the brain. We can analyze how and where the brain stores the information. This may in turn lead to treatments regarding language disorders and learning disabilities. All this is possible because of the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging. It is a type of brain scan that can visualize the real time brain activity. The sensing of the words is done by calculating the mean brain activity over all of the words that has been uttered by a person, which gives the average, and this is subtracted from the image that is derived.

Easy way to recharge

   Posted by: admin   in Technology

Consider a scenario in which your mobile phone’s battery is about to run out and you see no possibility of recharging it. What will you do in these situations? Mobile phone operator Orange has come to our rescue in these situations as it has planned to fabricate a recharger powered by dance energy alone. It has teamed up with a firm called GotWind which is currently specializing itself in renewable energy. The prototype chargers are about to weigh the same as a phone and their size is comparable to a pack of cards. They are attached to the user’s arm, which is said to employ a system of weight and magnets that in turn supply electric current that boost up the charge in the stored battery.
