Saving information on a computer boosts human memory resources for new information

Saving information on a computer boosts human memory resources for new information | Web 3.0 | Scoop.it

The simple act of saving something, such as a file on a computer, may improve our memory for the information we encounter next, according to new research published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science. The research suggests that the act of saving helps to free up cognitive resources that can be used to remember new information.

Scientists Send Messages Directly From One Brain To Another

But the cumbersome experimental setup won’t replace Facebook's Messenger app anytime soon. So a team of neuroscientists sent a message from the brain of one person in India, to the brains of three people in France, using brainwave-reading equipment and the Internet. Yes, really.

Scientists Can’t Read Your Mind With Brain Scans (Yet)

Scientists Can’t Read Your Mind With Brain Scans (Yet) | Web 3.0 | Scoop.it

As a journalist who writes about neuroscience, I've gotten a lot of super enthusiastic press releases touting a new breakthrough in using brain scans to read people's minds. They make it sound like a brave new future has arrived. But whenever I read these papers and talk to the scientists, I end up feeling conflicted. What they've done--so far, anyway--really doesn't live up to what most people have in mind when we think about mind reading. Then again, the stuff they actually can do is pretty amazing. And they're getting better at it, little by little.

Science fiction is one step closer to reality.
Jim Gunderson's curator insight, October 14, 2015 10:27 AM

We have always accepted that some people seem to do better on cognitive tasks than others, and now there are scans to 'prove' it.  However, given the neuroplastic nature of the connections, and the strong role that "fire together, wire together" effects alter the connection map - will getting a low or high score as a child become a self fulfilling prophecy?

At last, there will be a printed journal where BCI researchers can submit their work to. It is called the Brain-Computer Interfaces published by Taylor & Francis, an international company originating in the UK that publishes books and academic journals. The BCI journal was announced and its importance was discussed at the recent BCI meeting at Pacific Grove, California.
