New brain-computer interface allows man with ALS to 'speak' again

A new brain-computer interface translates brain signals into speech with up to 97 percent accuracy. Researchers implanted sensors in the brain of a man with severely impaired speech due to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The man was able to communicate his intended speech within minutes of activating the system.

Как я подключил Claude к Яндекс Директу через MCP и разгрузил утро понедельника

Управление контекстной рекламой — это много механической работы. Открыть статистику, выгрузить срез, свести два периода в таблице, заметить просевшую кампанию, пойти в другой отчёт, поднять минус‑слова, вернуться, поправить ставку. Каждый шаг по отдельности занимает приличное количество времени, с учетом того, что в больших РК этот процесс еще и подвисает (буквально подвисает, на больших отчетах статистика может грузиться минуты). Все вместе половина рабочего дня уходит на то, чтобы просто понять, что... Read more

Как выжать максимум из истории сделок: пишем систему оптимизации SL/TP для криптотрейдинга | Python+Excel

Особенно остро этот вопрос стоит перед теми, кто торгует «статику» — фиксированные проценты риска и прибыли на сделку. Обычно эти параметры выбираются «на глаз» (например, классические 1% SL и 2% TP фиксировано, либо даже 1:1) или на основе общих тестов стратегии в симуляторе. Но рынок меняется, волатильность растёт/падает, и то, что работало в прошлом месяце, сегодня начинает медленно выедать депозит комиссиями, винрейт стратегии сильно падает.В этой статье мы разберем, как...

Scientists at UCLA have linked long-term exposure to the pesticide chlorpyrifos with a sharply increased risk of Parkinson’s disease. People exposed to the chemical near their homes were more than twice as likely to develop the condition. Laboratory studies showed that chlorpyrifos damages dopamine neurons and interferes with the brain’s ability to remove toxic protein buildup. Read more

Astronomers have finally cracked the mystery of the famous “Pink Planet,” a strange world 57 light-years away that has puzzled scientists for more than a decade. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, researchers discovered that its atmosphere contains water vapor, methane, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and something never directly confirmed before in such an object: salty clouds.

A six-month study of more than 120 adults in their 70s found that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) may offer a key advantage over other forms of exercise: it helped reduce body fat while preserving valuable muscle mass. While moderate and low-intensity workouts also led to some fat loss, only HIIT maintained lean muscle, which becomes increasingly important with age. Read more

Researchers have discovered that beneficial soil bacteria give plants an unexpected survival advantage in salty soils. Instead of helping plants keep salt out, the microbes stimulate the production of lignin, a natural compound that strengthens roots and makes plants more resilient. Greenhouse and field tests showed healthier plants and higher yields in salty conditions. The findings could lead to bio-based treatments that help farmers grow crops on land once considered...

The unconscious brain appears to be far more capable than scientists once believed. Researchers found that patients under general anesthesia could still process language at a sophisticated level, distinguishing nouns, verbs, and adjectives while listening to stories. Even more remarkably, neural activity showed signs of predicting upcoming words before they were heard. The results challenge traditional ideas about consciousness and hint at new possibilities for brain-computer interfaces. Read more

Scientists have uncovered a surprising clue that may help explain why multiple sclerosis (MS) progresses rapidly in some people but not others. In brain tissue from patients with severe MS, researchers found large numbers of “foamy” immune cells packed with fat droplets after absorbing damaged myelin. These overloaded cells appear to switch from helping repair the brain to fueling ongoing damage and inflammation. Read more

Researchers tested experimental PCAI compounds against pancreatic cancer cells and found they had powerful anticancer effects. One leading compound blocked more than 90% of cancer cell migration, suggesting it could help prevent the spread of tumors. Rather than suppressing cancer signaling, the treatment hyperactivated key pathways until the cells essentially self-destructed. Read more

Scientists are raising concerns that we may be overlooking evidence of extraterrestrial life even when it is present. Hidden biosignatures, limitations in detection technology, and assumptions about what life should look like can all create dangerous false negatives. The researchers say future missions should focus not only on finding life, but also on understanding how signs of life could be missed. Read more
