From Ho-Hum to Eureka: A Journey Through Science! At the start of my Ph.D., I found myself trudging reluctantly through a theoretical problem assigned by my research supervisor. My days were consumed by Mathematical Physics, Theoretical Chemistry, and spectroscopy courses—fields I approached with little enthusiasm. Deep down, I longed to be a hands-on researcher, immersed in designing experiments, tinkering with equipment, and inventing innovative techniques. I dreamed of tackling real-world challenges, finding practical solutions, and injecting the ‘Wow’ factor into my work. Yet, my initial research experience felt devoid of excitement—no flashing lights, dramatic reactions, or intriguing scents to enliven my days. I craved science that resonated with life’s relevance and could inspire the next generation of researchers. Reflecting on my undergraduate years in Physics, I realized where this disconnect began. At College, Science was taught as though it was a completed endeavor—an archive of past discoveries. Lecturers presented it as a collection of facts, theories, and equations meant solely for regurgitation on tests. There was no spark, no invitation to imagine myself as part of its unfolding story. A career in science? It seemed as far-fetched as the moon landing must have felt before 1969. At best, I could aspire to teach high school science. Science, as it was presented, felt antiquated, impersonal, and uninspiring. But I knew there had to be more—and I was determined to find it. For me, Experimental research is where science truly comes alive, transforming abstract ideas into tangible outcomes. It's a realm where mistakes become opportunities, and unexpected results often lead to groundbreaking revelations. The joy of an experiment is not just in proving a theory right but also in those moments of delightful confusion when the data points somewhere completely uncharted. The magic of science lies not just in its answers but in its ability to keep us asking “what if?”—and then diving headfirst into the unknown to find out. https://lnkd.in/gJ4JPipX

📢 Check Out Our Recent Article! Our latest study dives into the uncharted territory of graphomotor difficulties (GD) in children with developmental dysgraphia, shedding new light on a critical but understudied aspect of handwriting. While previous research focused primarily on vertical and horizontal movement projections, our study goes further to explore what happens when these movements are performed simultaneously—as they naturally occur during writing. 💡 The Key Insight Vertical and horizontal movements require a balance between fluidity and precision, where the motor system often sacrifices speed for accuracy. This interplay, governed by motor coordination, is essential for maintaining letter structure and legibility. However, the simultaneous execution of these movements in children with GD had not been thoroughly examined—until now. 🎯 Our Breakthrough We introduced a novel fractional-derivative-based approach to quantify kinematic aspects of handwriting, accounting for movement direction. This innovative method provides a clearer visualization of the trade-offs between vertical and horizontal movements, offering new insights into interpreting GD manifestations. 👉 Why does this matter? This approach not only enhances understanding of GD but also brings practical benefits for clinicians by improving intuition in the assessment process and paving the way for computer-aided diagnosis. 🙌 A Huge Thanks to the Team Kudos to my colleagues Michal Gavenčiak, Ján Mucha 👨💻, Zoltán Galáž 👨🍳, Katarina Zvoncakova, and Marcos Faundez-Zanuy for making this study possible! This work is advancing the field of GD diagnosis with a positive impact on children and their families. ✨ And there's even more to come—stay tuned!

This workshop is designed to enliven the teaching neuroanatomy. We recast the topic by extending it to the cellular and sub-cellular levels as well as animating it by learning to build a brain.

Heyyy Connections...! Here is my article on Brain chips. Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) chip technology enables direct communication between the brain and devices, revolutionizing assistive technologies and neuroscience research. This innovative field integrates electronics, neuroscience, and computer science to develop implantable or wearable devices that decode brain signals. Applications include prosthetics and paralysis treatment, neurological disorder management, and cognitive enhancement. Types of BCI technologies include invasive, partially invasive, and non-invasive approaches. Advancements focus on neural coding, biocompatibility, and scalability. Future implications include enhanced quality of life for individuals with disabilities, insights into brain function, and potential applications in gaming, education, and healthcare. Effective BCI solutions require interdisciplinary collaboration and address ethical considerations. #snsinstitutions #snsdesingthinking #designthinkers

Struggling with a dated physiology curriculum? Try these ideas: 1. Bring USB sensors to lecture & demo physiological concepts 🧑🏫 2. Have students design their own experiments using sensors 🔬 3. "Loan" sensors so students can learn remotely/undertake science outreach 👭 4. Mix and match sensors to explore different physiological phenomena (for example, combine the Finger Pulse Sensor and Biopotential Sensor to assess the relationship between ECG and pulse) ❤️

Dendritic cells are cells of the immune system that reside in all tissues of the body. They patrol the body to seek out foreign structures and abnormal cells such as tumour cells. Dendritic cells play a key role in the fight against cancer. Thanks to modern cell culture technology, they can now be cultivated in the laboratory after a simple blood sample is taken. https://lnkd.in/ePHcpa-m #InnovateForImpact #technology #tech #innovation #engineering #science #software #huawei #design #electronics #fourthindustrialrevolution #programming #coding #education #computer #mathematics #artificialintelligence #math #uni #student #college #phd #research #quantumcomputing #quantummechanics #physics #technology #quantumcomputer #industry40 #artificialintelligence #ai #machinelearning #emergingtechnologies #computerscience #maths #innovation #settheory #it #quantumtechnology #datascience #mit #sustainability #it #hydrogen #computerscience #logic #theoreticalphysics #data #finance #asic #infrastructure #manufacturing #digitaltransformation #futureofwork #datascience #teamwork

The brain functions much like the body’s muscles; it undergoes neurogenesis when challenged and trained rigorously. Advanced biological age is not a limiting factor. Long life experience can exponentially enhance learning. When the brain is engaged with science-based materials balanced with artistic and literary disciplines such as photography or playing an instrument, it can grow and become more resilient to conditions like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease and memory decline. Read the short article for more.

The Temporal Architecture of Aesthetic Experience: Integrating Default Mode Network Dynamics with Learning and Memory Consolidation VIMPRE // Visionary, Interdisciplinary & Multidisciplinary Research Entity By Ramón Kailani Abstract: The neural underpinnings of aesthetic experience have emerged as a crucial area of investigation in cognitive neuroscience, yet the temporal dynamics of how these experiences unfold and integrate with learning and memory systems remain poorly understood. This review synthesizes current research in neuroaesthetics, with a particular focus on the role of the Default Mode Network (DMN) in aesthetic appreciation and its temporal evolution. Through analysis of neuroimaging studies and behavioral data, I propose a novel framework for understanding how aesthetic experiences are processed and consolidated over time. Recent findings indicate that the DMN exhibits distinct temporal patterns during aesthetic appreciation, with initial activation followed by dynamic modulation that varies with stimulus appreciation (Belfi et al., 2019). I present evidence that this temporal sequence may be crucial for memory consolidation and learning processes, suggesting a more complex role for aesthetic experience in cognitive function than previously recognized. This paper integrates findings from multiple domains to propose a comprehensive model of how aesthetic experiences are processed, consolidated, and integrated into long-term memory structures, with implications for both theoretical understanding and practical applications in education and therapy.
