Japanese researchers create images from thoughts using thoughts about images

A team of Japanese scientists at ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories, led by researcher Yukiyasu Kamitani, have successfully processed and displayed reconstructed images directly from the ever-hackable human brain. In the experiments, the team first showed participants 400 different still images in order to suss out their visual thought patterns. They then showed them the letters that make up the word "neuron," and successfully reconstructed them via brain activity onto a screen. The full results of the tests are going to be published later this month in Neuron, but Dr. F. Krueger at ATR says that they think the tech could someday be used to hack into people's dreams.

Difference Between Maida and Wheat Flour

Maida vs Wheat Flour    Maida is an Indian term for super refined flour obtained from wheat. While atta is the word most commonly used for the flour obtained from wheat and used all over the country to make the staple Indian bread called roti, maida is also used to make special Indian breads like naan etc. Some people think maida to be different from atta as it looks and tastes different from usual wheat atta or flour. This article takes a closer look at wheat flour or atta and maida to come up with their differences. Wheat Flour (Atta) Wheat flour or atta, the flour obtained from wheat, is a yellowish powder that is used to be made into dough for the preparation of Indian bread called roti. Wheat flour is obtained by simple grinding of wheat grains. All grains comprise of three parts, the bran or the outer covering, the germ or the part of the grain that germinates to become a new plant, and the endosperm that contains lots of protein. To make wheat flour or atta, whole grains

Your Body is Acidic. Here is what you NEED to Do (The Real Truth Behind Cancer that You Will Never Hear From Your Doctor) Noble prize Winner Dr. Otto H Warburg , who discovered the real cause of cancer,  has found that the root cause of cancer is oxygen deficiency. Oxyhen deficiency leads to an acidic state in the human body. Dr. Warburg also found that cancer cells are anaerobic (do not breathe oxygen) and cannot survive in the presence of high levels of oxygen, as found in an alkaline state. “All normal cells have an absolute requirement for oxygen, but cancer cells can live without oxygen – a rule without exception. “Deprive a cell 35% of its oxygen for 48 hours and it may become cancerous.”  Our diet plays a vital role in maintaining proper pH levels in the body. PH balance is the balance of acid and alkaline in all fluids and cells throughout your body. Your body must balance the blood’s pH levels at a slightly alkaline level of 7.365 in order to survive.

How to start your own low cost airline - with ECA support

How about starting your own airline? All you need is Rs 10 crore (€1,833,840, US$2,168,257) in paid-up  capital to start a regional airline with an aircraft of less than 80 seats. A good example is Air Deccan,  which started as a regional airline with a single turboprop ATR aircraft before spreading its wings across  the country. Today, an LCC with a pan-India presence would cost you $40-45 million (Rs 180-202 crore). If you can  increase it to $65-70 million (Rs 270-315 crore), you could also build in some cushion that can help  you to tide over a crisis like an oil price spiral. Jet Blue, Richard Branson’s LCC in Australia, had burnt $45  million before it could fly a single aircraft. Airlines is a high cash-burn business. You spend Rs 2.5 lakh an hour to fly an Airbus A320. To fly it for  10 hours a day, you need Rs 8 crore. If you have six aircraft — airlines need to bring in six aircraft within  year of starting operations — you will burn
