Where does our emotion exist?

What I always think about people's psychology very mysterious is that when we're watching some drama we can't help having our emotion captured to the drama that sometimes let us build some illusion as if the drama is real story.(It must be similar to that of "it's me faud" occasion.)

I know one scholar who try to simulate such human psychology by advanced computer.

While other brain science like cyborg technology only enables to extract only simple instruction from the brain for handicapped people,what's occurring in the brain while watching drama must be much complicated and harder to interpret by computer.This problem is associated with religious riddle where our emotion exists.

Astro boy will soon appear.

One of the science fictions cyborg is coming true in medical field by applying computer technology.When there is a person who lost one's lower part of the leg by some accident,one will undergo a surgery to attache an artificial leg and also embedd computer chip at the joint that plays a role of receiving the order from one's brain through wiring.In simple words,this technology enables one to move one's artificial leg as it were one's own.I'm glad to know that the barrier between each academic fields are being lowered and it expanded various possibilities to make more of our dreams come true.

Astro boy may soon appear in front of us.

The mechanism of memorizing

Amazing elderly man who has worldwide record of memorizing the largest number of digits of circle ratio after the decimal point.The secret of his amazing record in spite of his age is that he create some story in order to memorize series of numbers by transforming every numbers' sound into some linguistic word.The medical experiment was done by attaching some electrodes to his brain to see what's occurring when he's reciting those numbers.Interestingly the result showed that his right side of the brain was activated which indicates that he's just enjoying as if he were the starring person of the story he created.

Memorizing is likely to be associated with just boring and tough work,but we should reform our way of thinking following his case.

Robot Future

It's a small step for one robot,but a great leap for robotkind.

THis phrase I found in the Daily Yomiuri English News Paper.The article featured about a newly developed robot that can be manipulated by a man sitting on the robot to step down the stairs. Good news for disabled people.

By the way it's already more than thirty years have passed since the mankind first launched on the moon,leaving impressive message that was followed after by current news article's punch line,though we don't seem to have any plan of another landing.

Maybe mankind must be busy in our planet's various misselanious affairs what with environmental problem and war affairs.
