In his new video, Colonel Markus Reisner explains how both Russia and Ukraine are trying to use propaganda to influence the minds of western populations. He shows that in addition to the traditional domains of war, the cyber domain and the information domain are playing an increasingly important role today.
Neuroscientists discover the tricks and shortcuts the brain takes to help us survive. Official Website: https://to.pbs.org/3Ic9dRS | #novapbs. Is what you see real? Join neuroscientist Heather Berlin on a quest to understand how your brain shapes your reality, and why you can’t always trust what you perceive. In the first hour of this two-part series, learn what the latest research shows about how your brain processes and shapes the world around you, and discover the surprising tricks and shortcuts your brain takes to help you survive.

A groundbreaking paper in Nature Neuroscience seems straight out of a sci-fi movie.
We are now able to translate human thought into text and images with the help of artificial intelligence. Is this the end of privacy? Here’s everything you need to know.
A single-celled organism with no brain or nervous system to speak of may still form memories and pass those memories on to future generations, according to new research.
The ubiquitous bacterium, Escherichia coli, is one of the most well-studied life forms on Earth, and yet scientists are still discovering unexpected ways that it survives and spreads.
Researchers at the University of Texas and the University of Delaware have now uncovered a potential memory system that allows E. coli to ‘remember’ past experiences for several hours and generations thereafter.
Here Dr Seranova talks about stem cell use in helping with research into diseases of aging, particularly generating organiods of the brain by growing them from stem cells. Some links are affiliate links so we will earn a commission when they are used to purchase products.

Human consciousness is not confined to the brain and body, but is embedded within non-local fields of information, and trusting intuitive feelings can lead to unexpected and successful outcomes.
Key insights.
🤔 For mainstream science has failed to recognize the coming of that other singularity. The moment when we realize that human consciousness is not confined to the brain and body, but is embedded within non-local fields of information.
The question is not whether there will be a machine that can read your mind. Rather, it is when. Before that, governments across the world need to consider ‘neurorights’ to protect citizens’ brains against neurotechnology.
Contrary to the commonly-held view, the brain does not have the ability to rewire itself to compensate for the loss of sight, an amputation or stroke, for example, say scientists from the University of Cambridge and Johns Hopkins University.
