A Closer look


 
If you've ever seen any of the terminator films you will know that his cyborg type eye was used for identifying people and zooming into his targets.Well the future is now and we are close to having somewhat of a cyborg eye type thing that could be placed onto a humans eye. "According to the developers at Washington University, users could view floating emails and text messages as well as augment their sight with computer-generated images." The bionic contact lens could be revolutionary, but people always talk about the damage you can get from standing to close to the television. Imagine what sorts of damage could be caused by having one directly on your eye. A short obstacle the researches are having is finding a decent power source for the lens to work.

 For many, Music is an essential tool for getting through tasks and difficult times. Their is a science to it being that "The first music encoded deep within your memory are the earliest vibrations — the comforting rhythms of your mother’s heartbeat". These first sounds will stay with us for the rest of our lives which is a factor in why music can sooth a persons mind. It is said that certain songs may even help you recall memories of a persons past.In fact Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords used music therapy to help her learn to talk again.
