When the person awakes from their slumber they cannot distinguish the implanted memory from their own. It makes for blockbuster cinematography, but the practical concept is quite frightening to think about: the ability to artificially implant memories inches closer to the prospect of reality distortion.
In a major breakthrough, scientists have waded into the realm of the fantastical by accomplishing the difficult task of Inception . Researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center have been working on understanding how memories are encoded in the brain, specifically using Zebra finches to understand memories that guide the development of speech and social skills.

Mechanical engineer's simple running hack is fun and increases efficiency -- ScienceDaily
Attention runners: The next time you go out for a jog, you might want to strap a light resistance band between your feet. This rather quirky but oddly effective hack, according to UC Santa Barbara mechanical engineer Elliot Hawkes, could make you a more efficient runner by approximately 6.4%.
"In running, the energy is mostly wasted," said Hawkes, who conducted research on this topic while at Stanford University!

Posted on May 19, 2017 by Kersey Sturdivant One of the greatest scourges of the mid 20th century, leading into the 21st century, has been the human immunodeficiency virus, better known as HIV, which can lead to acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).!! His paper appears in the Journal of Experimental Biology .
Running is an extremely inefficient activity for the human body (which is why it's also a calorie-torching workout). According to Hawkes' study, for every 10 calories burned, less than one calorie is needed to maintain a constant forward velocity!

Lab rats play hide-and-seek for the fun of it, new study shows | Science | AAAS
Every child knows that a proper game of hide-and-seek must follow a strict set of rules. Players can't switch from being the "seeker" to the "hider" midway through the game, for example, and hiders have to stay put until they're found. Now, scientists have discovered that lab rats can rapidly learn the rules to hide-and-seek and, so far as they can tell, love playing the game with people.
Neuroscientist Michael Brecht of the Humboldt University of Berlin got the idea for his experiment from YouTube. "There are all these YouTube videos from pet owners that say their animals love to do this," he says. Although it's well known that rats play lots of rough-and-tumble games, hide-and-seek is so much more elaborate that Brecht wondered whether they could really do it.
Each game began with a rat inside a lidded box. When the rat was the "seeker," Reinhold would close the box and hide, opening the lid with a remote control. After training, the rat knew that was the cue to leap out of the box and go looking for Reinhold. When it found her, Reinhold rewarded the rat by petting and tickling it; no food was offered. When the rat was the "hider," Reinhold would leave the box open, and crouch beside it while the rat jumped out and scurried to one of its seven hiding places.
Rainy day games to banish boredom | Popular Science
Kids aren't the only ones who get stir-crazy when the weather causes outdoor plans to be canceled. So what to do when you're home unexpectedly, you've already binge-watched your favorite shows, or you'd like to get away from screens for a few hours? Maybe it's because of the unfortunate homonym, but we think board games are an underrated solution. We chose these (extremely-not-boring) games because, in addition to having fun with family and friends, you'll actually learn something.
Searching our brains for random factoids gathered from history, science, geography, art and pop culture is fun. But if you're craving something more, you'll enjoy the additional thinking skills required to move around the game board in Wit's End: identifying the Odd-1-Out in a category, ordering sets in Sequence questions, or solving rhyming riddles with a Teaser. Compete as individuals or in teams with teens (16 and up) and adults.
