Week 12 (12.01-18.01.15) Are you an early bird or a night owl ?

Owls are nocturnal creatures. They’re wide awake at night and they sleep during the day. If this sounds like bliss to you, then, like about 20 percent of the population who find themselves most active at around 9 pm, you may fall into the same category as our feathered friend. Night owls often have difficulty waking up in the morning, and like to be up late at night. Studies of animal behaviour indicate that being a night owl may actually be built into some people’s genes. This would explain why those late-to-bed, late-to-rise people find it so difficult to change their behaviour. The trouble for night owls is that they just have to be at places such as work and school far too early. This is when the alarm clock becomes the night owl’s most important survival tool. Experts say that one way for a night owl to beat their dependence on their alarm clocks is to sleep with the curtains open. The Theory is that if they do so, the morning sunlight will awaken them gently and natura...

Week 12 (12.01-18.01.15) Extreme winter sports for thrill seekers

Nowadays many people are looking for alternative winter sports other than normal skiing or snowboarding. Dangerous sports and activities certainly give incredible adrenaline and new experiences. As a result, these new forms of physical activity have more and more fans. Below are some examples of strange new winter sports. Speed Flying or Speed Riding is a extreme winter sport which is a combination of paragliding and skiing. While skiing, you can jump up when conditions get rough and then land again when you choose so. You personally can choose how much flying vs. skiing you’d like to do. It’s a fantastic sport that is attractive for paragliders and skiers alike. Of course it is very dangerous. In 2014 a few people died. The most accidents are due to lack of experience and taking too high risk. If you are interested, there are fine video from Norway : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3Ero7J4aMg ...

Week 3 [ 21-27.10.19] Memory Capacity of the Human Brain

What Is the Memory Capacity of the Human Brain? In the age of information technology, we are used to the fact that any information should occupy a certain amount of memory in storage. And since memories are information, then sooner or later they must fill the amount of memory in a person’s head. But the human brain is not a hard drive where you can write information in free blocks. Source: https://revth.files.wordpress.com/2018/05/battle-for-the-mind.jpg Neurons communication The process of "recording" information in the brain occurs through the emergence of connections between neurons and the creation of neural networks. Each time, recalling a past event, we activate the neural connections associated with it. We can say that having a finite number of neurons (according to researches it is about 100 billion cell nuclei) a finite number of connections can be created inside the brain. This, in turn, might me...
