Watch: Scientists create fascinating “brain movies” using neuroimaging data
Have you ever imagined listening to the brain’s activity as it unfolds in real-time? Researchers from Columbia University have pioneered a technique that transforms complex neuroimaging data into a captivating audiovisual experience, akin to watching a movie with a musical soundtrack. This novel approach allows scientists to ‘see’ and ‘hear’ the brain’s intricate workings, offering fresh insights into its behavior during various tasks.
The details of their work have been published in the journal PLOS One.
The motivation behind this study stems from a growing challenge in neuroscience: the vast amount of data generated by advanced brain imaging techniques. Technologies like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and wide-field optical mapping (WFOM) capture the dynamic, multi-dimensional activities of the brain, revealing patterns of neurons firing and blood flow changes.

The Game Changer: How AI Is Transforming The World Of Sports Gambling
In the adrenaline-fueled arena of sports gambling, a revolution is unfolding — one powered by artificial intelligence (AI). This technological marvel is transforming the art of sports betting from a game of chance into a symphony of data-driven precision. Let us explore the burgeoning world where AI intersects with sports gambling, turning bettors from mere spectators into strategic players in a game where data, algorithms, and probabilities redefine the odds.
Sports gambling, a realm where intuition, experience, and sometimes sheer luck have traditionally dictated the rules, is undergoing a transformative shift. AI, with its unparalleled ability to analyze vast datasets and discern patterns beyond human capability, is emerging as the new MVP in this field. This transition from gut-driven bets to AI-powered predictions is not just about increasing the odds of winning; it’s about elevating sports gambling to an art of calculated strategies.
At the heart of AI’s influence in sports gambling lies predictive analytics. Companies like Stratagem and Stats Perform are harnessing the power of AI to analyze historical data, player statistics, and even weather conditions to predict game outcomes with astonishing accuracy. For instance, Stratagem uses advanced machine learning algorithms to turn data from thousands of past games into insightful betting strategies, offering gamblers an edge that was unimaginable a few years ago.
Deep Robotics plan bots for the dark — and a giant one to help at home
“You want the robot to help others, not others, help the robot,” emphasized Peter Dend, product manager at DEEP Robotics, who dived into the future of Quadruped Robotics during a webinar conducted by Interesting Engineering.
In IE’s first webinar of 2024, a DEEP Robotics representative unveiled a series of robot models employed for various tasks in real time, such as the Robot-Group-Control Dance Show at the 19th Hangzhou Asian Games.
The firm highlighted its partnership with the Zhejiang Lab, which used coordinated group control technology to combine bipedal and quadruped robots to perform the Asian Games Village theme song “Love Together.”
From disorder to design: Exploring electrical tuning of branched flow in liquid crystal films
A new study in Nature Communications investigates the electrical tuning of branched light flow in nematic liquid crystal (NLC) films, revealing controlled patterns and statistical characteristics with potential applications in optics and photonics.
Branched light flow manifests as intricate patterns in light waves navigating through a disordered medium, forming multiple branching pathways.
Positioned between ballistic and diffusive transport phenomena—where ballistic implies unhindered straight-line movement akin to a laser beam, and diffusive involves scattered, chaotic behavior—the phenomenon gains significance for its potential in controlling physical processes, particularly optics, and photonics.
