Seen in many movies such as Total Recall and the latest sci-fi thriller Gamer, the ability to digitize ones memories on to an lcd screen is becoming more and more of a reality. Researchers at University College London have gathered new evidence that memories do not differ from person to person as much as previously thought. [More Info. Here]
South Korean Scientists Transmit Broadband Signals Through A Human Arm
From Gizmodo:
Human skin is apparently a very energy-efficient conduit for transmitting data. A recent experiment achieved a rate of 10Mbps, which may put my Internet connection to shame. The experiment used small, flexible electrodes and took place at Korea University.
The finding may lead to a new generation of medical devices that can monitor blood sugar or electrical activity in the heart. Such devices cut energy needs for a monitoring network by about 90 percent compared to wireless devices running on batteries.
South Korean researchers placed electrodes about 12 inches (30 centimeters) apart on a person's arm, and found that the low-frequency electromagnetic waves travel easily through the skin without any outside interference.
