Image: IANS Increased use of Instagram, YouTube and Facebook may not lead to symptoms of anxiety and depression in children in the precarious 10-16 year age group, new research has claimed. “The prevalence of anxiety and depression has increased. As has the use of social media. Many people, therefore, believe that there has to be a correlation,” said Silje Steinsbekk, a professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology's (NTNU) department of psychology. But that is not the case if we are to believe the results of the study published in the journal Computers in Human Behavior.

Image: IANS US researchers have in a breakthrough developed a brain implant system, which when powered by artificial intelligence (AI) helps paralyzed patients with speech difficulties communicate via a computer screen. The speech-aiding brain implant by Stanford University consists of small tablet-sized sensors—square arrays of tiny silicon electrodes—that are implanted in patients' cerebral cortex, the brain's outermost layer. Each array contains 64 electrodes, arranged in 8-by-8 grids and spaced apart from one another by a distance of about half the thickness of a credit card. The electrodes penetrate the cerebral cortex to a depth roughly equaling that of two stacked quarters. The implanted arrays are attached to fine gold wires that exit through pedestals screwed to the skull, which are then hooked up by cable to a computer. The devices transmit signals from a couple of speech-related regions in patients' brains to state-of-the-art software that decodes their bra...
