Our brains could use quantum computation
Posted by Gemechu Taye in categories: neuroscience, quantum physics
“We adapted an idea, developed for experiments to prove the existence of quantum gravity.”
According to Trinity College Dublin scientists, our brains could use quantum computation after applying an idea created to prove the existence of quantum gravity to investigate the human brain and its workings.
As stated, the correlation between the measured brain functions and conscious awareness and short-term memory function suggests that quantum processes are also a part of cognitive and conscious brain functioning.

A high-resolution, wearable electrotactile rendering device that virtualizes the sense of touch
Posted by Jose Ruben Rodriguez Fuentes in categories: biotech/medical, engineering, mobile phones, virtual reality, wearables
A collaborative research team co-led by City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has developed a wearable tactile rendering system, which can mimic the sensation of touch with high spatial resolution and a rapid response rate.
The team demonstrated its application potential in a braille display, adding the sense of touch in the metaverse for functions such as virtual reality shopping and gaming, and potentially facilitating the work of astronauts, deep-sea divers and others who need to wear thick gloves.
