Poor Topic!Cindy. Take your mind to a happy place. Put on "Go Fish" or something.

If you had an LJ, you'd know the source of my insanity was allegedly White, and Square, and Looked like a Tooth, but it wasn't a Tooth, and He Didn't Know What it Was, so He Swallowed It.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Congrats on getting into the study, tommyrot! I hope everything goes spectiacularly well.

I kind of like that dress, though it would look better against a less busy background. And it wouldn't look good on me, so, I'm not sure what my point is. But I think there are people who could wear it in certain settings and look great.

Hurray for the prospect of cheap solar power! How awesome would that be?

You know, despite all that, it was the Found on the Toilet Seat that really screamed 3-yr old to me. Poor Cindy.

Oh, Cindy. How scary.

I'm sorry, but the story did make me giggle quite a bit, in a "oh no, how terrible" sort of way.

Thanks, Sean.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Robot hand controlled by human thoughts:

The robotic hand mimics the movements of a person's real hand, based on real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of their brain activity. It marks another landmark in the advance towards prosthetics and computers that can be operating by thought alone.

The system was developed by Yukiyasu Kamitani and colleagues from the ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories in Kyoto, and researchers from the Honda Research Institute in Saitama.

Subjects lay inside an MRI scanner and were asked to make "rock, paper, scissor" shapes with their right hand. As they did this, the MRI scanner recorded brain activity during the formation of each shape and fed this data to a connected computer. After a short training period, the computer was able to recognise the brain activity associated with each shape and command the robotic appendage do the same.

Naturally, I want one.
