by David Wilder, Discover Magazine reports that a group of scientists are working on a brand new form of brain mapping. The $30 million Human Connectome Project will provide a model showing the main neural pathways that link the 500 major areas of the brain in an attempt to show how our biological hardwiring controls our mental activity. The [...]
What would it mean to discover that everything from the DNA of life, to the future of our world, is based upon a simple Reality Code—one that we can change and upgrade by choice? New revelations in physics and biology suggest that we’re about to find out! A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that [...]
We have been brought up to believe that the mind is located inside the head. But there are good reasons for thinking that this view is too limited. Recent experimental results show that people can influence others at a distance just by looking at them, even if they look from behind and if all sensory [...]

Do you exist? Is your entire life a hologram? According to some of these 10 mad scientific theories that might just be the case.
by APRIL McCARTHY, Wouldn’t it be nice to predict future events, even if they are just ten seconds ahead? According to researchers at Northwestern University, we can do just that. Researchers already know that our subconscious minds sometimes know more than our conscious minds. Physiological measures of subconscious arousal, for instance, tend to show up [...]
Is the Universe alive? Quantum Mechanics says yes! We will be looking at the ideas that evolve into the massive implication of a living Universe.
Plants behave in some oddly intelligent ways: fighting predators, maximizing food opportunities … But can we think of them as actually having a form of intelligence of their own? Italian botanist Stefano Mancuso presents intriguing evidence. Stefano Mancuso is a founder of the study of plant neurobiology, which explores signaling and communication at all levels [...]

14 September 2012 What consciousness is, and why and how it exists, are some of the oldest questions in philosophy. They are also central to one of the fastest-growing areas of neuroscience. Associate Professor Nao Tsuchiya, from Monash University’s School of Psychology and Psychiatry, is using a variety of neuroscientific methods as he works towards [...]
