    A new computational model that accounts for individual differences in human color vision is helping reveal why the colors of today’s displays sometimes appear different to different people. The new information could help guide the development of displays that deliver a more consistent viewing experience across a wider range of color vision.

  • Time and space may help caregivers shift from expressing emotions to exploring solutions

    A team including researchers from the University of Tokyo found that the distance between family caregivers and the people they care for can affect how caregivers reflect on stressful experiences. When caregivers engage in therapeutic writing soon after a stressful event or while they are with the person they care for, they tend to focus their writing on emotional expression or on the care recipient.

  • Matching infrared wavelengths to skin improves local blood circulation in small human trial

    Researchers at National Taiwan University, MacKay Medical University and MacKay Memorial Hospital reported a wavelength-matched far-infrared (FIR) approach to enhance peripheral blood circulation. Instead of using a conventional broadband FIR source, the team focused on a natural low-absorption optical window in human skin near 10 μm.

  • Alzheimer’s disease and aging reshape brain communication in different ways
    on October 1, 2026 at 8:00 pm

    Both normal aging and Alzheimer’s change how different brain regions communicate with each other. But a new study from Lund University reveals that these alterations follow distinct patterns, with disease-related shifts distinguishable from those linked to normal aging. And the alterations seen in Alzheimer’s patients appear early, even before cognitive symptoms emerge. The findings are published in Nature Neuroscience.
