(Newser) – Mind-reading has taken a step toward possibility with a new computer that can decode brain activity to determine what a person is looking at with up to 90% accuracy, the Independent reports. With improvements, the technology could be able to reconstruct any image a person... Read full story »

Why Girls Are Better at Language

Study finds brain wiring gives girls the edge

(NEWSER) - Study after study has found that girls have better language skills than boys, and scientists now think they've found a biological reason why, Scientific American reports. Researchers discovered that girls showed more activity in the language part of their brains, which deciphers abstract encoding, than boys. The boys had more activity in the regions of the brain linked to auditory and visual function. More»

Scientist Seeks Help for the Hopelessly Lost

Brain disorder causes people to get lost even in their own homes

(NEWSER) - A Canadian neuroscientist has discovered a brain disorder that causes sufferers to spend their lives hopelessly lost even in their own neighborhoods, reports the Canadian Press. People with developmental topographical disorientation utterly lack the ability to form mental maps and orient themselves, leaving them with no idea how to navigate a route from one place to another. Some sufferers use GPS constantly, while others have arranged their lives so that they never have to travel except in straight lines. More»

Scientist: Love's Just Brain Chemicals

...that could someday be reproduced in a lab

(NEWSER) - An American neurologist is determined to prove wrong the poets who say love is beyond understanding, reports the BBC. The Emory professor argues that neurochemical reactions in certain parts of the brain can explain love, raising the possibility that scientists could someday create drugs to bring love back to dying relationships—or even make somebody fall in love with the first person he or she sees.

Japanese Scientists Can Read Your Mind

They find a way to extract images directly from the brain

(NEWSER) - The Thought Police could eventually exist in reality, if they can just figure out how to harness new technology developed by Japanese researchers, the Daily Yomuri reports. The team managed to re-create images that people were looking at—using only subjects' recorded brain activity. This is the first successful display of messages directly from the human brain. More»

It's a Fine Line Between Love, Hate in the Brain

But hate appears to be a more calculating, rational emotion

(NEWSER) - Areas of the brain involved in hatred are also activated by love, a study suggests. Researchers took images of brain activity when subjects looked at a photo of someone they despised, ABC News reports. While not identical, the pattern of brain activation those images triggered involved some of the same areas as a previous study using a photo of a loved one. More»
