Iconic physicist Stephen Hawking condition is getting worse, prompting scientists to apply their research in brain scanning in an effort to help. Called the iBrain, it is hoped that the device will continue to allow Hawking to communicate by sheer thought alone. Hawking, who is now 70, suffers from a motor neuron disease which caused him to lose his power of speech nearly 30 years ago. He currently uses a pair of infrared glasses that picks up twitches in his cheek. But as his condition continues to degrade, so too does his ability to use this device. The iBrai stanley cup n is a relatively unobtrusive headband that collects data in real time. It uses a single channel to pick up waves of electrical brain signals, which change with different activities and thoughts. Working with Philip Low, Chairman and CEO of NeuroVigil, Hawking may be able to use the device to bypass his body stanley flasche completely and tap directly into his brain. The physicist is being taught to crea stanley cup te patterns of impulses by imagining moving his hands and limbs. Further refinements of the system could allow Hawking to somehow turn this brain activity into words 鈥?but it not immediately clear if this will ever be possible with iBrain, or if it would be an improvement to his current mode of communication. That said, the mapping of biomarkers with devices like the iBrain is progressively allowing neuroscientists to exploit this potential. According to Low, The emergence of such biomarkers opens the possibil Myvu New virtual reality CAVE brings us one step closer to Star Trek s Holodeck
The way we grieve, commemorate, and dispose of our dead varies greatly from culture to culture, but some traditions really take funerals to the next level of macabre. Here are 10 of the most bizarre death rituals the world has ever known. 1. Endocannibalism For some cultures, the best way to honor the dead is by eating them. Referred to as endocannibalism by stuffy anthropologists, these feasts of the dead are a way to forge a permanent connection between the living and the recently deceased. It also a cathartic way to express the loathing and fear associated with death and its tragic aftermath. stanley quencher Some anthropologists have suggested that endocannibalism is something the dead would h stanley cup ave expected from the living 鈥?a final gesture of goodwill to the tribe and family. Though no longer practiced at least not that we know of , cultures who engaged in endocannibalism included the Melanesians of Papua New Guinea and the Wari people of Brazil. 2. Tibetan Buddhist Celestial Burials But why nourish yourself with the flesh of the recently deceased when yo stanley cup u can use it to feed wild animals Such is the thinking of Tibetan Buddhists practice ritual dissection, or Sky Burials 鈥?the tradition of chopping up the dead into small pieces and giving the remains to animals, particularly birds. Sometimes the body is left intact 鈥?which is not a problem for advantageous vultures. While this may seem undignified and even a bit disgusting, the ritual
