Crean una pistola que enmudece a sus víctimas

Científicos japoneses crearon una especie de "arma" láser que provoca tartamudeo y enmudece a la persona a la que apunta.



Se trata de un "SpeechJammer" (algo así como un bloqueador de discursos).

La pistola es capaz de dejar muda a la gente. Desarrollada por los japoneses Koji Tsukada y Kazutaka Kurihara, la idea se basa en el hecho de que para hablar correctamente, los seres humanos necesitamos escuchar lo que decimos, de forma que podemos ajustar nuestro discurso a medida que lo vamos emitiendo. El problema viene cuando hay un ligero retraso entre el momento en que se pronuncian las palabras y el tiempo en que se oyen. Si eso sucede, la gente, desorientada, tiende a dejar de hablar. "SpeechJammer" provoca que alguien que habla escuche sus propias palabras con un retraso de 0,2 segundos.



Para que esto ocurra, la máquina adjunta un micrófono direccional y un altavoz en una caja que también contiene un puntero láser y un sensor de distancia y, por supuesto, un ordenador para calcular el tiempo de retardo basado en la distancia desde el altavoz. Para que funcione, la persona que utiliza el arma la apunta a la que habla, con el puntero láser como guía y, a continuación, aprieta el gatillo. Funciona para distancias de hasta unos treinta metros. Por supuesto, la máquina no provoca ningún tipo de malestar físico y el afectado recupera el habla de inmediato, publica ABC.es.



Los científicos dicen que no tienen planes de comercializar el dispositivo porque la tecnología es tan simple, que es dudoso que pudieran patentarla de todos modos. Aunque el uso de algo semejante puede suponer un pisoteo de los derechos humanos en malas manos, también es cierto que, en determinadas ocasiones, todos hemos soñado con tener algo parecido en nuestras manos. En algunos cines podría resultar tan imprescindible como la entrada.

Nordic Walking Benefits, ADHD and Diet, Supplements and Cancer, Sources of Fiber

Dietary Interventions for ADHD: Emerging Research and Considerations There has been increasing interest in the role that diet and supplements play in the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, from patients and researchers alike. Diet is an important treatment approach to consider, as it is a lifestyle change rather than a medication. Additionally, at least 10% to 30% of children with ADHD are non-responsive to, or experience adverse effects from, ADHD medications­­­­.1 A dietary approach to ADHD can be complementary to a conventional pharmacological approach, giving patients and their families more options toward a personalized treatment plan. This article will examine current research about di

More People Are Microdosing for Mental Health. But Does It Work?

By Dana G Smith. Joseph started microdosing psychedelics five years ago to try to improve his mental health. “I was just kind of in this depression, in this rut,” he said. “I was unhappy and angry and agitated all the time, and it went against the way that I saw myself.” Depression and anxiety run in Joseph’s family, and he’d been prescribed Prozac as a kid. But when symptoms of depression returned in his early 30s, he didn’t want to go back to a prescription drug. Joseph, an Austin-based designer (he asked to withhold his full name, citing privacy concerns surrounding mental health issues and illegal drug use), came across research from Johns Hopkins University about psilocybin, the active ingredient in hallucinogenic, or “magic,” mushrooms. In a small study, full doses of the drug helped cancer patients cope with depression and anxiety. Then he read anecdotes of Silicon Valley influencers claiming increased energy from taking tiny doses of psychedelics. So he decided to start microdo

Exploring the Link Between Circadian Rhythms, Longevity, and Wearable Data: Insights and Future Directions

A recent study in NHANES 2011–2014 explores the potential connection between disruptions in circadian rhythms, measured using wearable devices, and their impact on health outcomes and longevity. The study analyzes data from 7,297 U.S. adults collected through wearable accelerometers as a novel digital biomarker for longevity. Five distinct clusters were identified based on activity profiles: "High activity," "Low activity," "Mild circadian rhythm (CR) disruption," "Severe CR disruption," and "Very low activity." The findings reveal that young adults with extreme circadian rhythm disturbance exhibit higher white blood cell counts and accelerated biological aging. Older adults with circadian disruption are associated with increased systemic inflammation indexes, advanced biological aging, and higher all-cause mortality risk. The research underscores the importance of circadian alignment for longevity at all ages and suggests that wearable
