Physics helps prevent hearing loss in whales
Pattern-recognition techniques developed by particle physicists are now being used to protect the hearing of sea mammals, reports the latest issue of the Institute of Physics' magazine Scientific Computing World. When oil companies survey sea areas for oil they send seismic pulses towards the seabed. These pulses are at volumes that are... view more... (1999-02-26)
Theory of facial aging gets a facelift from UT Southwestern researchers
The longstanding idea that the entire human face ages uniformly is in need of a facelift, say researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center who have found that multiple, distinct compartments of fat in the face age at different rates. view more (2007-08-06)

Research conducted among elderly persons residing in assisted living ( AL) facilities in Maryland reveal high prevalence of dementia and other psychiatric disorders, but a lack of recognition and treatment by caregivers. view more (2004-11-10)
Single genetic defect produces specific cognitive deficit in mice
Researchers have found that, in mice, producing a single genetic defect in a molecule that "reloads" neurons to trigger one another using the neurotransmitter acetylcholine impairs the mice's ability to recognize objects or other mice. view more (2006-09-07)
It ain't what you say - it's the way that you say it

Monocolonialism holds clues for understanding the little fire ant
The presence of Wasmannia auropunctata in New Caledonia was first recorded in 1972. This small ant, with workers measuring only 1 or 2 mm, originates from tropical America. It was introduced by human activity, accidentally brought in, probably on plant material imported for use in forestry. The ant has colonized almost every ecological type of... view more...

Researchers at the University of York have identified a part of the brain that responds to both facial and vocal expressions of emotion. view more (2009-11-03)
One reason to test premature babies early: Results provide clues to later cognitive development
Now a study from researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, N.Y., and the University of Ghent in Belgium, finds that early cognitive deficits in infancy such as poorer attention, slower processing speed and poorer recognition memory are important harbingers of later cognitive deficits. view more (2005-11-14)
I can see clearly now your face is familiar
As we get to know people better, we find it easier and easier to recognise their faces, even from really poor quality images and photographs. Professor Vicki Bruce of Stirling University will discuss the processes involved as faces become more familiar in her invited lecture given today, Monday 2 July, to the European Congress of Psychology held... view more...

Chimps, like humans, focus on faces
A chimp's attention is captured by faces more effectively than by bananas. A series of experiments described in BioMed Central's open access journal Frontiers in Zoology suggests that the apes are wired to respond to faces in a similar manner to humans. view more (2009-07-23)
UQ research finds speech disorders can be assessed from a distance

'Faulty' brain connections may be responsible for social impairments in autism
New evidence shows that the brains of adults with autism are "wired" differently from people without the disorder, and this abnormal pattern of connectivity may be responsible for the social impairments that are characteristic of autism. view more (2008-06-13)
Computers controlled by the Human Eye
Soon computers and many other household devices will guess the owner`s will by a slightly seen gesture or a frowned brow. This confidence has appeared for good reason: such programs have already being developed. In particular, scientists from the Research Institute of Experimental Physics in Sarov have made their own version. The principles on... view more... (2001-12-25)
