The Human Mind Isn’t Meant to Be Awake After Midnight, Scientists Warn

Posted by in category: neuroscience

In the middle of the night, the world can sometimes feel like a dark place. Under the cover of darkness, negative thoughts have a way of drifting through your mind, and as you lie awake, staring at the ceiling, you might start craving guilty pleasures, like a cigarette or a carb-heavy meal.

Plenty of evidence suggests the human mind functions differently if it is awake at nighttime. Past midnight, negative emotions tend to draw our attention more than positive ones, dangerous ideas grow in appeal and inhibitions fall away.

Some researchers think the human circadian rhythm is heavily involved in these critical changes in function, as they outline in a 2022 paper summarizing the evidence of how brain systems function differently after dark.

Next-Level Speed: How 3D Integrated Photonics Is Accelerating Computing

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, quantum physics, robotics/AI

A new photonic processor efficiently solves complex NP-complete problems using light, offering faster computation and scalability for future applications in optical neural networks and quantum computing.

As technology continues to evolve, the limitations of traditional electronic computers are becoming more evident, particularly when addressing highly complex computational problems. NP-complete problems, which grow exponentially in difficulty as their size increases, are among the most challenging in computer science. These issues affect a wide range of fields, from biomedicine to transportation and manufacturing. To find more efficient solutions, researchers are turning to alternative computing methods, with optical computing showing significant promise.

Breakthrough in Photonic Processor Development.

Michael Levin: What is Synthbiosis? Diverse Intelligence Beyond AI & The Space of Possible Minds

Posted by in categories: bioengineering, biotech/medical, cyborgs, education, ethics, genetics, information science, robotics/AI

Michael Levin is a Distinguished Professor in the Biology department at Tufts University and associate faculty at the Wyss Institute for Bioinspired Engineering at Harvard University. @drmichaellevin holds the Vannevar Bush endowed Chair and serves as director of the Allen Discovery Center at Tufts and the Tufts Center for Regenerative and Developmental Biology. Prior to college, Michael Levin worked as a software engineer and independent contractor in the field of scientific computing. He attended Tufts University, interested in artificial intelligence and unconventional computation. To explore the algorithms by which the biological world implemented complex adaptive behavior, he got dual B.S. degrees, in CS and in Biology and then received a PhD from Harvard University. He did post-doctoral training at Harvard Medical School, where he began to uncover a new bioelectric language by which cells coordinate their activity during embryogenesis. His independent laboratory develops new molecular-genetic and conceptual tools to probe large-scale information processing in regeneration, embryogenesis, and cancer suppression.
