Physicists say universe evolution favored three and seven dimensions
Physicists who work with a concept called string theory envision our universe as an eerie place with at least nine spatial dimensions, six of them hidden from us, perhaps curled up in some way so they are undetectable.   view more (2005-09-29)

Physicists find way to 'see' extra dimensions
Peering backward in time to an instant after the big bang, physicists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have devised an approach that may help unlock the hidden shapes of alternate dimensions of the universe.   view more (2007-02-05)

Surgeons' Performance Related To Visual-Spatial Ability (p 230)
A Canadian research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights how a surgeon's ability to execute a complex procedure is related to their degree of visual-spatial ability. Although some study participants were found to be more competent than others, those with low visual-spatial-ability... view more (2002-01-17)

QBI scientist looks at why stroke causes vision problems
The research, by QBI neuroscientist Professor Jason Mattingley and colleagues at the University of Melbourne and University College London, has implications for understanding "spatial neglect", a disorder associated with damage to the brain's parietal lobe - an area that plays an... view more (2007-06-07)

New infrared tool measures silicon wafer thickness
In the last few years, semiconductor circuit features have shrunk to sub-100 nanometer (nm) dimensions, while the size of the thin silicon wafers that these circuits are constructed on has grown from 200 millimeters (mm) to 300 mm (about 12 inches). The payoff is a higher yield of finished devices... view more (2005-07-15)

Bigger brain size matters for intellectual ability
Brain size matters for intellectual ability and bigger is better, McMaster University researchers have found.   view more (2005-12-23)

Spatial patterns in tropical forests can help to understand their high biodiversity
The high biodiversity in tropical forests has both fascinated and puzzled ecologists for more than half a century.   view more (2007-09-26)

A Specific Psychotherapy May Increase Psychological Well-being
Two Italian researchers (Drs Fava and Ruini of the University of Bologna) describe a new development in psychotherapeutic research, a specific therapy for increasing psychological well-being. The Authors outline the background of its development, the structure of well-being therapy, its key... view more (2003-05-26)

Aging impairs the 'replay' of memories during sleep
Aging impairs the consolidation of memories during sleep, a process important in converting new memories into long-term ones.   view more (2008-07-30)

Habitat loss and reserve network selection
What is the minimum combination of areas needed to protect at least one population of every species in a region? - This is a problem commonly addressed when aiming at cost-effective reserve networks. However, because the stress on reserve cost, the properties of the reserve-network for species... view more (2003-07-02)

Mathematician uses topology to study abstract spaces, solve problems
Studying complex systems, such as the movement of robots on a factory floor, the motion of air over a wing, or the effectiveness of a security network, can present huge challenges. Mathematician Robert Ghrist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is developing advanced mathematical... view more (2006-08-16)

Scientists identify brain circuits used in sensation of touch
The ability to tactually recognize fine spatial details, such as the raised dots used in braille, is especially important to those who are blind.   view more (2007-10-11)

Scientists predict how to detect a fourth dimension of space
Scientists at Duke and Rutgers universities have developed a mathematical framework they say will enable astronomers to test a new five-dimensional theory of gravity that competes with Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.   view more (2006-05-26)

Next Stop: The Fourth Dimension
How did the universe come to be? What is it made of? What is mass? Can science prove that there are other dimensions?   view more (2008-09-04)

Exercise and mental stimulation bothboost mouse memory late in life
Physical exercise is known to be good for the aging brain, but what about mental stimulation" Does enrichment that helps older people work well for the young and middle aged, or do they need something else" A report in the August issue of Behavioral Neuroscience tells how, in an animal... view more (2007-08-06)

Low-cost magnetic field sensors
People who can claim possession of the latest generation of outdoor wristwatch may rightly assume that the conventional compass with its magnetic needle has served its time. Thanks to modern, space-saving chip technology, new features are constantly being integrated: altimeters, cameras, or even... view more (2002-06-26)

New opinions on the health benefits of Mozart
There has been controversy about the health benefits of Mozart's music ever since researchers claimed that listening to the K448 piano sonata improved spatial reasoning skills. Later research suggested that K448 can reduce the number of seizures in people with epilepsy. In the April Journal of the... view more (2001-03-29)

Get ready for next generation surround sound
Ultra-realistic surround sound is a step closer for everyone thanks to a new method that will cheaply and efficiently compute the way individuals hear things.   view more (2005-01-24)

Shadow technique improves measurement of micro holes
Sometimes seeing a shadow can be as good or better than seeing the real thing. A new measurement method developed by researchers working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is a case in point   view more (2005-06-02)

Chimpanzees with real personality
Just as the issue brews up again of whether and when we should grant our closest cousins - the chimpanzees - 'human' rights, there is now quantifiable proof that individual chimpanzees have different personalities. What's more, the most important underlying dimensions of chimpanzee personality... view more (1999-03-26)

Deep brain mapping to isolate evidence of Gulf War syndrome
Researchers at Southern Methodist University in Dallas are pioneering the use of spatial statistical modeling to analyze brain scan data from Persian Gulf War veterans, aiming to pinpoint specific areas of the their brains affected by Gulf War Syndrome.   view more (2008-11-20)

A self-orienting colibri
A new optical 3D measuring system was named like the bird ”kolibri-mobil“. While self-calibrating, it does not require any orientation marks. Precise measurement data are taken from complex objects in a single test step and the computer visualizes them in three dimensions.... view more (2002-04-16)
