A sleeping octopus doesn't just go still, its skin flickers through color changes and texture shifts, with twitches recurring every 30 to 40 minutes, a second, more active sleep stage that a later brain-recording study found produces neural activity resembling an awake brain
2+ day, 23+ hour ago (166+ words) These fleeting episodes of neural activity suggest octopuses may experience a second sleep stage—one that looks suspiciously like dreaming. By Natural History · Edited by Nato Lagidze Published September 10, 2026 · How we edit That paper was built entirely on behavior and…...
In 2022, a 17-year-old built a $300 thought-controlled prosthetic arm; unlike very expensive and invasive brain-controlled systems, his version reads brainwaves through non-invasive electrodes
1+ week, 2+ day ago (329+ words) One arm is a research-lab masterwork that reads a wearer's intent and, in some setups, lets them feel through it. Published September 4, 2026 · How we edit We are not clinicians, prosthetists, or biomedical engineers, and nothing here is medical guidance. This…...
Too old to learn something new? The evidence says otherwise, and the belief itself is part of the problem
1+ week, 4+ day ago (547+ words) ScienceBlog.com is an independent daily science news publication covering peer-reviewed research across all major scientific disciplines. Founded in 2002, it is one of the longest-running science news sites on the internet. It curates and reports on breakthroughs from universities, research…...
No other animal is known to blush from embarrassment, and you can't simply fake or suppress it — but a 2024 brain study suggests the reason is simpler than we thought
3+ week, 4+ day ago (601+ words) Charles Darwin spent an entire chapter near the end of a book on the problem of a red face. By Science Blog Editorial Team Published August 18, 2026 · How we edit What bothered him was the cause. If blushing is uniquely human,…...
Short-form videos may make newly learned information harder to remember, but the experiment tested fragmented travel clips rather than every brief lesson or every person's scrolling habit
1+ mon, 1+ day ago (777+ words) The cognitive cost of endless scrolling may be steeper than we thought—though one study's findings about memory and fragmentation come with important caveats. By Mind & Matter · Edited by Lachlan Brown Published August 12, 2026 · How we edit A stream of short…...
A 2024 meta-analysis found a small achievement advantage for handwritten lecture notes, but the headline-making EEG study did not test retention: 36 students copied familiar words by hand or typed them with one finger
1+ mon, 2+ day ago (852+ words) The viral brain science supporting handwriting's memory magic never actually measured what students remember. Published August 10, 2026 · How we edit The claim is wonderfully simple: if you want to remember something, write it by hand rather than typing it. It feels…...
Whitehall II tracked 3,433 British civil servants for up to 14 years on either side of retirement and found verbal memory declined 38 percent faster afterward, while a French cohort of 14,714 retirees found their sleep got better
1+ mon, 3+ day ago (790+ words) Retirement's cognitive costs look catastrophic in one landmark study, restorative in another—suggesting what matters most is what you do when you stop working. By Science Blog Editorial Team Published August 10, 2026 · How we edit Two of the best long-running studies…...
Certain songs can feel more vivid than the events attached to them, but the music is not preserving or replacing the past — it is giving the brain an unusually powerful cue for rebuilding it
1+ mon, 5+ day ago (1123+ words) Songs can trigger vivid autobiographical memories and colour their emotion, but current research does not show that music usually replaces the events it evokes. Published August 8, 2026 · How we edit A song can survive a decade with unnerving precision. The opening…...
A study of 48,537 people found processing speed peaks around 18, while vocabulary keeps growing into the late 60s and emotion recognition improves through middle age
1+ mon, 6+ day ago (825+ words) Different mental skills peak at wildly different ages, suggesting the decline of youth may be offset by gains we don't usually measure. By Science Blog Editorial Team · Edited by Lachlan Brown Published August 7, 2026 · How we edit That is the striking…...
Psychology says people who read before bed every night have a fundamentally different brain than people who watch TV
1+ mon, 1+ week ago (519+ words) The nightly choice between a book and a screen isn't a minor preference—it's a decade-long experiment that rewires your brain in measurably different ways. Published August 4, 2026 · How we edit Think about the last thirty minutes before you fall asleep…...
