A systematic review of 71 studies finds paranormal beliefs associated with differences in cognitive function, particularly intuitive thinking style. Methodological quality has improved over time, but areas for improvement remain, including discussion of limitations and generalizability to the population.
A new system, dubbed Easy Secure Photos (ESP), encrypts photos uploaded to cloud services, protecting them from attackers and the cloud services themselves. Users can visually browse and display encrypted images as if they weren't encrypted.
A multinational team of researchers warns that embryo selection based on polygenic scores may not be effective in selecting healthier embryos and could lead to unintended consequences such as altering population demographics. The study calls for responsible communication and regulation of the technology.
Researchers have discovered how rodent ancestors created pheromone genes by combining portions of blood and venom genes. This process, known as genetic tinkering, may lead to the identification of new pheromones and insights into their role in species communication.
University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture faculty members received six awards from Epsilon Sigma Phi for their commitment to Extension and outreach work. The honors recognize their leadership and service in six categories, including Continued Excellence Award winner Janie Burney.
UTIA Chancellor Tim Cross has been recognized for his exceptional service as an Extension educator and leader. He received the 2018 Distinguished Service Ruby Award from Epsilon Sigma Phi, honoring his contributions to Extension and outreach work.
Researchers found that normal fallopian tubes can contain pre-cancerous cells that escape and later progress to cancer in the pelvic or abdominal cavity. This 'precursor escape' concept may help explain why some women present with advanced ovarian cancer beyond the fallopian tubes.
New England's spring and summer red tides will be similar in extent to those of the past three years, according to the 2015 Gulf of Maine red tide seasonal forecast. The forecast is part of a larger NOAA effort to deliver ecological forecasts that support human health and well-being.
A new pilot program uses robotic instruments and computer modeling analysis to track the harmful algal bloom in the Gulf of Maine. The deployment of four Environmental Sample Processors (ESP) will provide near real-time data on toxic algae, helping decision-makers keep people safe.
A study published in PLOS ONE found that observers could detect changes in a person's appearance even when they couldn't visually identify the change. The researchers showed that this ability was not due to extrasensory perception or a sixth sense.
A new study by Rouder and Morey applies a statistical method to Dr. Bem's ESP experiments, finding modest evidence that doesn't support claims of extra-sensory perception. The researchers conclude that the odds are against ESP existing, given the current scientific knowledge.
Scientists have successfully detected a harmful algal species and its toxin below the ocean's surface using a robotic instrument called the Environmental Sample Processor. This achievement represents a major breakthrough in monitoring harmful algal blooms (HABs) and their effects on coastal ecosystems and human health.
Using neuroimaging, researchers at Harvard University tested extrasensory perception (ESP) and found no evidence for its existence. Despite participants' reports of unexplained knowledge, brain scans showed no difference in response to ESP and non-ESP stimuli.
The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission has awarded its first-ever early site permit for a new nuclear power reactor, marking a significant step in the country's nuclear renaissance. PNNL researchers are assisting NRC with environmental and safety reviews, and document preparation.
The Expression Synthesis Project (ESP) interface, devised by Elaine Chew, allows users to control musical performance using familiar driving metaphors. By analyzing the structure of a piece of music, ESP creates a virtual 'road' that guides the user's decisions.
Researchers have found that heating broccoli to 60°C increases the levels of anti-carcinogenic sulphoraphanes, which may help prevent cancer. To achieve high levels of these beneficial compounds, plant breeders could consider eliminating genes that code for a protein called ESP.
A survey by Purdue University professor Glenn Sparks found that TV exposure can influence beliefs in paranormal phenomena, but only in 10% of cases. The study suggests that people tend to rely on personal experiences rather than media when they have no such experiences.
