An increasing amount of research tries to link the human brain with machines allowing humans to control their environment through their thoughts. Scientists in Australia have developed a mind switch that enables people to activate electrical devices (e.g. turn on a radio or open doors) by thinking.
The Pentagon has a disturbing pattern of withholding information on the impact of chemical/biological weapons and other toxins on US service members. As a result, veterans are often told that their debilitating symptoms are "in their head" and can go decades without receiving medical help. That's not supporting our troops.
How does increased understanding of the human mind and the world around us affect nations, cultures, communities, organizations, groups, families and individuals? What are the impacts on international relations, military matters, economics, the natural environment, social dynamics, human development and other areas of interest?
It's a scenario straight out of Gray's Anatomy: a paramedic or doctor plops a mask over the face of a person struggling to breathe and begins dispensing pure oxygen. Yet growing research suggests that inhaling straight oxygen can actually harm the brain.
A misconception about depression is that if a person feels intense sadness for a small period of time in reaction to some event, then that is depression.

Researchers at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) have identified neural signatures of real-time coordination between people. In one of the first studies in the field of social neuroscience, they actually recorded, measured and analyzed behavior and brain activity simultaneously in two interacting humans.
Just like you can't expect to get a six-pack stomach by sitting on the couch all day, don't expect your memory to stay at the top of its game without a proper workout. Your brain needs to pump mental iron consistently to boost up its memory muscle. Check out the top 10 ways to keep your brain waves active and your memory strong.

Like any new kid on the block that tries to fit in, newborn brain cells need to find their place within the existing network of neurons. The newcomers jump right into the fray and preferentially reach out to mature brain cells that are already well connected within the established circuitry
The brain can transfer specific functions to new areas when part of it is damaged, according to Oxford research.
US researchers have simulated half a virtual mouse brain on a supercomputer. The scientists ran a "cortical simulator" that was as big and as complex as half of a mouse brain on the BlueGene L supercomputer.

Strides in understanding human brain chemistry and genetics are giving scientists hope they may be able to defuse violent behavior to avoid tragedies like last week's university massacre in Virginia, neurologists say.
After a log weighing several hundred pounds was dropped on Spc. Paul Thurman's head during during Army Special Forces training, an MRI later showed that he had lesions on the right parietal lobe of his brain, a condition that led to a "don't deploy" order which the Army violated. His leaders have harrassed him and refused him medication.

Passively listening to Mozart - or indeed any other music you enjoy - does not make you smarter. But more studies should be done to find out whether music lessons could raise your child's IQ in the long term.
The entire neural network of a mouse's brain has been seen in 3D for the first time, using a new technique that renders tissues transparent.
Distractions turn on different part of our brains and do so more quickly than the daily grind of paying attention, neuroscientists have discovered.
Spot a bear in the woods, and a different part of your brain will yell "pay attention" than if you were studying bears at the zoo. New research shows it takes one part of the brain to start concentrating and another to be distracted. This discovery could help scientists develop better treatments for attention deficit disorder. "
