Princeton University neuroscientists joined forces with Intel computer scientists to map the human mind in real time, developing the next generation in brain imaging analysis. In a lab at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute, test subjects look at pictures, watch movies and listen to  The Moth Radio Hour  as scientists track their brain activity via functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI). The researchers’ goal: to read their subjects’ minds in real time, as they are thinking, feeling and reacting to the stimuli. This task would have been impossible just a few years ago. Reading a single scan was time consuming — reading a multitude of scans meant blowing out a system’s storage and processing capabilities. New technologies are changing that. Researchers at Princeton University and Intel Labs have developed software that enables cognitive neuroscientists to map the mind in real time. The software decodes neural data and reveals how brain activity affects lea...

A recent report from Technavio says that the the LED market will grow at a CAGR of more than 18 percent from 2017 to 2021. There are specific sectors where the demand will rise. The demand for energy-efficient lighting solutions across sectors such as retail, hospitality, architecture, commercial, and residential, is leading to an increased adoption of LED lighting worldwide, cites research analysts,Technavio. The report reveals writes that the high luminous efficacy, greater life span, reduced energy use, and decreasing average selling price (ASP) of LED lighting products compel consumers to switch to LED technology. Four market drivers contributing to the growth of the global LED market are: favourable policy environment and governmental support; demand for energy-efficient lighting solutions; increasing outreach of energy-efficiency certification programs; and upcoming international events and infrastructure projects. Favourable policy environment and governmental suppo...
