Article Summary of Science Daily report, "Covert Operations: Your Brain Digitally Remastered for Clarity of Thought" Stoddy Carey
In this article several researchers at Virginia Tech are coming up with new ways to improve brain function, to those with cerebral trauma, through the discovery of new brain functions. With a non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging the team of scientists were able to have a subject interact with computers creating a link between the two. These brain scans were in hope of discovery a stimulant between the human and the computer that would increase signal to noise waves. In lay terms this team of professors were in search of a outside force that would focus the mind and concentrate the subject. In conclusion the team found that when the subject was in control of the interaction between he or she and the computer that the brain would quiet and focus while the people with no control of the situation did not experience the same type of drop in brain activity. This research could become an integral part of the road o recovery for people struggling with brain function.
Seven Things You didn't know about X-Rays Here is an easy list of things that you probably didn't know about X-Rays: - X-Rays are a special type of light that is created from excited electrons. - They are excited photons that project all types of light - X-Rays are used to look at objects in more detail because their wave length is more compact than visible light - There is a Difference between "Hard" and "Soft" X-rays - X-rays were discovered by accident - DNA's structure was discovered by the use of X-Rays - The Combination of X-Rays and a microscope creates a super powerful observation tool
