Audiences seem to forget 90% of business content after 48 hours and the little they remember is usually random information, not the information that you as the presenter want them to remember (Ebbinghaus, 1885). If you have ever found yourself in this situation and if you regularly generate and distribute business content, then this blog […]
How many times have you wondered how people feel while using your product or service? How many times have you wished to have this answer immediately without having them fill out tiresome questionnaires? If you have found yourself in such a situation, then our ExperienceLab services are definitely for you! Emotions are an intrinsic part […]
Continuing our discussions on complexity in various applications (see our previous blog posts on Complexity in consciousness and in Parkinson’s), here we have applied the concept to a very interesting scenario together with our partners HMGU and INSERM within our project Luminous. A question that still puzzles humanity and is still a source of disagreement […]
There is a long history of art and science looking for each other. As Leonardo da Vinci said: “to develop a complete mind, study the science of art, study the art of science. Learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else”. https://www.flickr.com/photos/epicalab/albums In 2008, in the University of Yale, a new […]
Photo via PlusLexia More than 1% people are autistic. People with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) mainly present problems in social communication and interaction, and restricted and repetitive patterns of behaviour, interests or activities. Hence, children with ASD may have problems understanding gestures, spoken language, spoken metaphors, recognising own and others’ emotions, and feel […]
As we have already discussed in a previous blog on Brain Consciousness and Complexity, algorithmic complexity is an intrinsic property of the brain dynamics, and be estimated through the Lempel-Ziv-Welch algorithm from the EEG (electroencephalogram) signals (Figure 1). In this blog we discuss our recent paper on the relationship between algorithmic complexity and prognosis of […]
Transcranial current stimulation (tCS) seems to be a powerful tool to make the link between brain function and disease. This has been demonstrated in current research. However, we have yet to fully understand the underlying neurobiological mechanisms of tCS. The goal of combining tCS with neurophysiological and neuroimaging tools is twofold: a) these techniques can […]
Various processes in natural sciences, such as the geometric shape of shores, rocks, plants, waves, organism trajectories, atmospheric flows and other phenomena that seem to present a higher level of complexity, may reveal self-similar or self-affine patterns under different resolutions, and although this structure may initially seem complex, it is actually a source of simplicity. […]
Nature has a beautiful tendency to coordinate things. If two pendulum clocks are hanging from the same beam, they start moving in the same way. In a similar way, women that spend time together have a tendency to synchronize their menstrual cycles, or fireflies in the woods that are flashing synchronously. Many researchers have tried […]
We all feel happy when something nice happens in our life, we cry when we lose someone we love, we feel fear when we perceive that our life is in danger. But where do all these processes come from? What happens inside us when we feel this way or another? Emotion is one of the […]
