I was having a conversation with Sakiya recently and the question was posed, are winners born or created?  This is quite the interesting question, especially when you look around and see so many obvious winners and losers in the world.

After much thought, I’ve settled with the belief that winners are (more…)

It was already known that foetuses could memorise sounds from the outside world in the last three months of pregnancy and were particularly sensitive to the contour of the melody in both music and human voices.

SCIENTISTS USE COMPUTER TO ‘READ MINDS’ ON SCREEN
Scientists have discovered how to read ‘the mind’s eye’ using a computer that can replicate what humans are seeing or recalling by monitoring their brain activity.

The breakthrough, by a team at the University of California, raises the prospect of scientists eventually being able to record dreams or enable police to identify criminals by recalling the memories of a witness.

The development is similar to that envisaged in the film Minority Report, in which an individual’s private thoughts can be readily accessed by the authorities. (more…)

“This astonishing 18ft drawing of the world’s most famous skyline was created by autistic artist Stephen Wiltshire after he spent just 20 minutes in a helicopter gazing at the panorama. The unbelievably intricate picture was drawn at Brooklyn’s prestigious Pratt Institute from Stephen’s memory, with details of every building sketched in to scale. Landmarks including the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building can be seen towering above smaller buildings after just three days in his spellbinding creation.

Listening intently to his ipod throughout the artistic process – because music helps him – London-born Stephen uses only graphic pens as he commits his photographic memory to the high-grade paper.
