A sleeping octopus doesn't just go still, its skin flickers through color changes and texture shifts, with twitches recurring every 30 to 40 minutes, a second, more active sleep stage that a later brain-recording study found produces neural activity resembling an awake brain
3+ day, 2+ hour ago (166+ words) These fleeting episodes of neural activity suggest octopuses may experience a second sleep stage—one that looks suspiciously like dreaming. By Natural History · Edited by Nato Lagidze Published September 10, 2026 · How we edit That paper was built entirely on behavior and…...
In 2022, a 17-year-old built a $300 thought-controlled prosthetic arm; unlike very expensive and invasive brain-controlled systems, his version reads brainwaves through non-invasive electrodes
1+ week, 2+ day ago (329+ words) One arm is a research-lab masterwork that reads a wearer's intent and, in some setups, lets them feel through it. Published September 4, 2026 · How we edit We are not clinicians, prosthetists, or biomedical engineers, and nothing here is medical guidance. This…...
Too old to learn something new? The evidence says otherwise, and the belief itself is part of the problem
1+ week, 4+ day ago (547+ words) ScienceBlog.com is an independent daily science news publication covering peer-reviewed research across all major scientific disciplines. Founded in 2002, it is one of the longest-running science news sites on the internet. It curates and reports on breakthroughs from universities, research…...
Researchers found that people who spoke two or more languages developed dementia symptoms about 4.5 years later than those who spoke only one — not quite a cure, but a delay long enough to change the shape of a life
3+ week, 5+ day ago (577+ words) The cognitive reserve that comes with speaking multiple languages may not prevent dementia, but it can postpone the disease long enough to reshape how people experience their final years. Published August 18, 2026 · How we edit Four and a half years does…...
Quote by Viktor Frankl: Between stimulus and response there is a space, in that space is our power to choose our response, and in our response lies our growth and our freedom
4+ week, 8+ hour ago (1009+ words) Viktor Frankl's line about the space between stimulus and response is quoted everywhere, but the psychology behind it is more specific than the poster version suggests. We read the research on autonomy, self-determination theory, and what the pause can and…...
Researchers found that generosity doesn't necessarily stop with the person who receives it: in experiments, cooperative behaviour spread through three degrees of separation, influencing people the original giver had never met.
4+ week, 1+ day ago (1145+ words) By Mind & Matter · Edited by Lachlan Brown Published August 15, 2026 · How we edit A generous choice can alter an encounter that the original giver never sees. This was not a study of friends passing favours along a real community network. It…...
Psychology says "blow off steam" is one of the worst pieces of advice ever given about anger — a review of 154 studies found no evidence that venting reduces it, and some evidence that it makes it worse
1+ mon, 2+ hour ago (391+ words) The science is clear: venting anger actually strengthens it, leaving you more enraged than if you'd simply waited it out. Published August 13, 2026 · How we edit Somewhere in an Ohio State laboratory, a man punched a hole in the wall. His…...
Short-form videos may make newly learned information harder to remember, but the experiment tested fragmented travel clips rather than every brief lesson or every person's scrolling habit
1+ mon, 1+ day ago (777+ words) The cognitive cost of endless scrolling may be steeper than we thought—though one study's findings about memory and fragmentation come with important caveats. By Mind & Matter · Edited by Lachlan Brown Published August 12, 2026 · How we edit A stream of short…...
Earth's quietest room measured -24.9 dBA, low enough for visitors to hear their own bodies, but the claim that nobody can last an hour is false and misunderstands what an anechoic chamber does
1+ mon, 2+ day ago (1045+ words) A viral myth claims no one can survive an hour in Earth's quietest room—but the scientists who built it say that's nonsense. By Science Blog Editorial Team · Edited by Lachlan Brown Published August 11, 2026 · How we edit Earth’s quietest room…...
Working-memory games can make people much better at the task they practice, but meta-analyses and a two-year study find little evidence that those gains transfer to general intelligence
1+ mon, 2+ day ago (1240+ words) Practicing brain-training games sharpens your skill at those exact games, but scientists find little proof the mental gains extend to reasoning or intelligence more broadly.
