Quantum Temporal Mechanics: Consciousness and Time

Posted by in categories: neuroscience, quantum physics

In the study of temporal mechanics, we have to venture beyond the confines of traditional objective science to incorporate the profound role of consciousness in shaping our understanding of time. The evidence and theories discussed throughout my upcoming paper (to be released as a Kindle eBook) suggest that the flow of time is not simply a physical phenomenon dictated by the laws of thermodynamics or the spacetime continuum, but rather a deeply psychological one, intertwined with consciousness itself. Time, as we experience it, emerges from our awareness of ongoing change—a continuous psychological construct that weaves our perceptions into a coherent narrative of past, present, and future.

The implications of this perspective are far-reaching. If the flow of time is indeed a function of consciousness, then time cannot be fully understood without accounting for the observer—the conscious entity whose perception of change gives rise to the experience of time. This challenges the classical notion of time as a separate, objective entity and places consciousness as a central player in the multidimensional matrix of reality.

Emotional body odors may enhance the effect of mindfulness therapy

Posted by in categories: chemistry, neuroscience

Emotional body odors may have the potential to enhance the anxiety-reducing effects of mindfulness. This is shown by a pilot study published in the Journal of Affective Disorders, co-authored by researchers from Karolinska Institutet.

Body odors can serve as a means of social communication. Body odors, such as sweat, contain a cocktail of chemical processes (so-called chemosignals), which in turn are influenced by a person’s emotional state. Studies indicate that individuals exposed to chemosignals from a person in a particular emotional state, such as fear or happiness, exhibit a certain replication of this state. This replication occurs unconsciously and has most often been observed through different physiological tests.

As most studies in this area have involved healthy subjects, the overall goal of this project was to study the potential benefit of chemosignals for individuals with . The purpose of this study was therefore to investigate whether emotional can enhance the benefits of a mindfulness-based intervention for individuals with social or depression.

Algorithms based on deep learning can improve medical image analysis

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, information science, robotics/AI

Artificial intelligence has the potential to improve the analysis of medical image data. For example, algorithms based on deep learning can determine the location and size of tumors. This is the result of AutoPET, an international competition in medical image analysis, where researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) were ranked fifth.

The seven best autoPET teams report in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence on how algorithms can detect lesions in (PET) and computed tomography (CT).

Imaging techniques play a key role in the diagnosis of cancer. Precisely determining the location, size, and type of tumor is essential for choosing the right therapy. The most important imaging techniques include positron emission tomography (PET) and computer tomography (CT).

Reclassification of Gene Variants Linked to Hereditary Colorectal Cancer

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, genetics, health

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains one of the most clinically challenging malignancies facing our public health system. CRC accounts for the second and third most common cancer in males and females, respectively. In addition, CRC represents one of the most deadly cancers, expected to result in over 50,000 mortalities in 2024.

Hereditary colorectal cancer (HCRC) occurs when a parent passes a cancer gene to a child. Unfortunately, we have not identified a single gene that causes the disease. Hereditary CRC syndromes, such as hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC; also known as Lynch syndrome) and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), describe a group of genetic diseases that confer a high risk of developing CRC. As our knowledge has expanded, we have learned about a growing number of genetic variants in the genes that predispose carriers to CRC. However, the precise role of some variants in the development of CRC cancer remains unclear. Uncovering more information about these variants, called variants of uncertain significance.

Super-bright black holes could reveal if the universe is pixelated

Posted by in category: cosmology

Space-time may not be continuous but instead made up of many discrete bits – and we may be able to see their effects near the edges of unusually bright black holes.

Nanotechnology: A potential cure for incurable diseases

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, nanotechnology, neuroscience

Nanotechnology is poised to transform neurological disorder treatments by overcoming the blood-brain barrier, enabling effective medication delivery for conditions like dementia and Alzheimer’s. This innovative approach also shows promise in dermatology and cancer treatment, enhancing drug absorption and targeting, while minimizing side effects. Experts at AIIMS highlighted ongoing research and potential breakthroughs expected in the next few years.

Asymmetric dearomative single-atom skeletal editing of indoles and pyrroles

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

Skeletal editing has emerged as an appealing strategy for scaffold-hopping-based drug discovery, but the enantioselective single-atom skeletal editing of N-heteroarenes is challenging. Now, using trifluoromethyl N-triftosylhydrazones as carbene precursors, the enantiodivergent dearomative skeletal editing of indoles and pyrroles has been achieved through asymmetric carbon-atom insertion.
