Northwestern University have found a fascinating way to activate problem-solving during sleep. In a study published in the journal  Psychological Science, the researchers explained how they used sound cues to stimulate information processing in sleeping participants. When the volunteers woke up the next day, they were able to work out the brainteasers they failed to solve the previous night. “This study provides yet more evidence that brain processing during sleep is helpful to daytim...

https://www.afinalwarning.com/494100.html (Natural News) Mushrooms make for a savory, vitamin D-rich addition to a balanced diet. But it turns out, they make for more environmentally friendly “bricks,” too. How it works is agricultural waste materials like straw is combined with mycelium, a network of fungal threads that function as mushrooms’ “roots.” It will be left to grow into a brick for two weeks. The product will then be “cooked” in an oven or treated with chemicals to ...

UH Manoa, called the footage “groundbreaking.” “We’re observing how these animals are manipulating their prey and preparing the prey for capture. [The footage] is allowing us to gain new insights that we really haven’t been able to do before,” Bejder said.
