Golfing experts make putting look effortless, but what’s really going on in their minds? A new study by my team used modern neuroscience techniques to investigate the mental processes behind expert golfers’ putting skills. We found that successful putts were associated with distinct patterns of brain activity. Our study involved 28 amateur golfers (20 men) … Read more

Happiness is influenced by various factors, including life circumstances, relationships, and daily habits. While we often focus on external factors, it’s essential to recognize that our body plays a crucial role in our happiness too. The brain releases “happy hormones” like serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphins, which can uplift our mood, reduce stress, and improve … Read more

NASA has introduced a revolutionary new propulsion system, the Pulsed Plasma Rocket (PPR), which could significantly reduce travel time to Mars and make deep space exploration safer and more efficient. Developed by Howe Industries with consultation from NASA, the PPR is capable of cutting down human-crewed missions to Mars by two months to less than … Read more

Scientists have long relied on neuroimaging techniques to capture and analyze brain activity, but analyzing this data is far from straightforward due to the unique shape of each individual’s brain. A new study from Dartmouth researchers has introduced a groundbreaking tool that promises to make this process more accurate and efficient: the “OpenNeuro Average” (onavg) … Read more

Scientists have discovered that great white sharks split into three distinct populations about 100,000 to 200,000 years ago and never interbred again – except for one hybrid found in the Bermuda Triangle. The study, published in Current Biology, analyzed the genomes of 89 great white sharks from around the world. The results showed that the … Read more

Researchers at the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) in China have tested Lorentz invariance by analyzing measurements of a gamma-ray burst (GRB). The team studied GRB 221009A, the brightest event ever observed and one of the closest, at a distance of about 2.4 billion light years. The analysis focused on how the energy … Read more
