Why we Have Blind Spots – and How To See Blood Vessels [Video]
I am studying cognitive neuroscience at Brown University, and the trick in this video was shown to me by Professor David Sheinberg. A big thanks goes to him for all the awesome stuff he’s taught me! [Source: TheGnome54]
To Understand is to Perceive Patterns [Video]
For decades, we assumed that the components of such complex systems as the cell, the society, or the Internet are randomly wired together. In the past decade, an avalanche of research has shown that many real networks, independent of their age, function, and scope, converge to similar architectures, a universality that allowed researchers from different […]
Newton’s Notes Now Online
Cambridge University has published 4,000 pages of manuscripts by Sir Isaac Newton, including his handwritten annotations. It’s the first stage of a digitization process that will eventually see documents from the likes of Charles Darwin and Ernest Rutherford put online. The Newton papers are, alongside Islamic manuscripts, the first documents to appear online as part […]
