Grouse house at the click of a mouse
Ecologists at Aberdeen University have developed a new computer tool that could help save the capercaillie from extinction in Scotland. Speaking at the British Ecological Society’s Winter Meeting, to be held at the University of Warwick on 18–20 December 2001, Dr Keith Marshall will explain that the new computer model can be used to... view more...

Children and home computers: living up to parental aspirations?
Most parents regard supporting their children's education as a major motivator for buying a home computer. However most children are using them to play games. These are the findings of recent research, carried out by Lucinda Kerawalla and Dr Charles Crook, presented today, Thursday 28 June, at the International Conference on Communication, Problem... view more...

True colors are in the brain of the beholder
Pictures of brain waves that reveal our ability to see colour could provide a new objective way to diagnose and monitor diseases that affect human colour perception. view more (2006-08-10)
Technology could enable computers to 'read the minds' of users
Tufts University researchers are developing techniques that could allow computers to respond to users' thoughts of frustration - too much work - or boredom-too little work. Applying non-invasive and easily portable imaging technology in new ways, they hope to gain real-time insight into the brain's more subtle emotional cues and help provide a... view more...

Epilepsy marked by neural 'hub' network
An increased number of neuron "hubs" in the epileptic brain may be the root cause for the seizures that characterize the disorder, according to a UC Irvine study. view more (2008-03-26)
A genetic factor predicts prognosis in brain tumor patients
PLoS ONE has just published a study which defines a gene locus on chromosome 1 that predicts prognosis of brain tumor patients and may even set the basis for the development of more efficient drugs to combat brain cancer. view more (2007-06-28)
Man winks and the computer thinks
To some extent, computers can speak and hear. But seeing is another matter, for the instantaneous interpretation of film sequences requires the processing of huge volumes of data. Visitors to CeBIT can take part in a computer game as a virtual controller. For computer fans and cineastes, "Tron" counts as the forefather of... view more... (2004-02-26)
Why the brain has 'gray matter'
By borrowing mathematical tools from theoretical physics, scientists have recently developed a theory that explains why the brain tissue of humans and other vertebrates is segregated into the familiar "gray matter" and "white matter." view more (2006-01-12)
Brain's center for perceiving 3-D motion is identified
Ducking a punch or a thrown spear calls for the power of the human brain to process 3-D motion, and to perceive an object (whether it's offensive or not) moving in three dimensions is critical to survival. It also leads to a lot of fun at 3-D movies. view more (2009-07-21)
Reading the brain without poking it
Experimental devices that read brain signals have helped paralyzed people use computers and may let amputees control bionic limbs. But existing devices use tiny electrodes that poke into the brain. view more (2009-06-29)
Automated MRI technique assists in earlier Alzheimer's diagnosis
An automated system for measuring brain tissue with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can help physicians more accurately diagnose Alzheimer's disease at an earlier stage according to a new study published in the July issue of the journal Radiology. view more (2008-06-24)
Chronic pain harms the brain
People with unrelenting pain don't only suffer from the non-stop sensation of throbbing pain. They also have trouble sleeping, are often depressed, anxious and even have difficulty making simple decisions. view more (2008-02-06)
Stroke study sheds light on left-right brain divide
Research into the effects of strokes has furthered our understanding of the different roles of the left and right sides of our brains. view more (2007-06-11)
Low-cost strategy developed for curbing computer worms
Thanks to an ingenious new strategy devised by researchers at University of California, Davis and Intel Corporation, computer network administrators might soon be able to mount effective, low-cost defenses against self-propagating infectious programs known as worms. view more (2009-01-14)
JHU researcher discovers brain cells have 'memory'
As we look at the world around us, images flicker into our brains like so many disparate pixels on a computer screen that change every time our eyes move, which is several times a second. Yet we don't perceive the world as a constantly flashing computer display. view more (2009-04-03)
Neurons for numerosity: Parietal neurons 'sum up' individual items in a group
As any child knows, to answer the question "how many," one must start by adding up individual objects in a group. view more (2007-07-24)
MU Researchers Study Facial Structures, Brain Abnormalities to Reveal Formula for Earlier Detection of Autism
Recently, Harvard researchers reported that children with autism have a wide range of genetic defects, making it nearly impossible to develop a simple genetic test to identify the disorder. Now, University of Missouri researchers are studying 3-D imaging to reveal correlations in the facial features and brain structures of children with autism... view more... (2008-08-19)
Computers could be used to diagnose Alzheimer's disease
Computers are able to diagnose Alzheimer's disease faster and more accurately than experts, according to research published in the journal Brain. The findings may help ensure that patients are diagnosed earlier, increasing treatment options. view more (2008-02-22)
Stanford study of owls finds link in brain between sight and sound
Just imagine listening to someone talk and also hearing the buzz of the overhead lights, the hum of your computer and the muffled conversation down the hallway. view more (2006-01-19)
Tracking the memory trace
Memory formation follows a dynamic pattern, allowing for retrieval from different areas of the brain, depending on when an organism needs to remember, said a researcher at Baylor College of Medicine. view more (2005-12-05)
