We Mapped a Fly’s BRAIN

A global team of 287 researchers have combined over 100 terabytes of data to create a full map of a fruit fly’s brain, which includes 139,255 individual neurons and 50 million connections. Popular Science, “Scientists mapped every neuron of an adult animal’s brain for the first time”: #science #sciencefacts #weirdscience #biology #research

      Um actually, an adult Drosophila melanogaster is only about 3 mm in length

    You actually mapped Kamala Harris brain? Wow it is small and unable to tell the truth or stop cackling

    Sure I’d take a look. Wouldn’t understand it, but I’d look.

    Sooo. Does that mean we can 3d print a fly soon?

      It’s just the first core branch, without mapping we can’t advance this tech

      Imagine one day technology advances far enough we can control a 3D printed fly with a VR set and play fly simulator interacting with real flies and shit, damn that would be dope.

    Fascinating. If you believe in an afterlife, & your brain has rotted, what does science teach you about the ability to think?

      Science is constantly researching our brain abilities but researches have found and proved that our brain shows our whole life in something like a short film for us, just before we die and it shuts off. Biology is truly fascinating

    Pretty sure if I were to get a 3d map of my neural network, it would come out blank.

    It has 139,000 more neurons than Donald Trumps left and right brain put together

How to Make a YouTube Video in 1987

Decades before software like Premiere and iMovie made video editing cheap, easy, and accessible for everyone, the only option was chaining a conglomerate of vintage 80s technology – multiple camcorders or VCRs and a TV – to craft custom analog video. Then the Videonics system changed tech history forever.

With professional-grade setups costing up to six figures at the time, the Videonics brought simple editing to the masses at a tiny fraction of the price… in theory. The reality of the Videonics video editing system was a jumbled mess of retro tech that took a near-miracle to make your kid’s 8th grade jazz band concert video look a little more polished.

And getting it all to work over 35 years later? It took 8 VCRs, 2 camcorders, 3 Videonics units and 4 remotes to create a 1987-era YouTube masterpiece. But in the end, it revealed the beauty and drive of the first-generation analog filmmakers and videographers who made YouTube possible for all of us.

Nearly 50 years ago, the Polavision camera blended Polaroid’s revolutionary instant film with on-demand home video – and the result was a landmark advance in analog technology that would become a mystery of science and a winding international journey into vintage tech.

Because now, generations after Edwin Land bet his half-century legacy of innovation and the company he founded on the success of the Polavision, I need to figure out how to get the thing to work… and only one man in the world could help me.

I traveled to Vienna, Austria to meet Florian “Doc” Kaps – the man behind ‘The Impossible Project’ that saved Polaroid from the dustbin of history. With his guidance and his private store of old Polaroid video tapes, perhaps I would be able to record a modern YouTube video with my vintage Polavision camera.

Through it all, Doc immersed me into his world of analog technology and the philosophy behind his mission to re-integrate analog into our daily lives. We cut lacquer records, we felt the fires of an analog restaurant, and we spent too much time trying to resurrect a relic of the past – because technology, vintage and modern, is all about people.

What if you CAN’T BURP?!

Some people can’t burp… at all. It’s called Retrograde Cricopharyngeus Dysfunction, and RCD makes life seriously uncomfortable — both physically and socially. There’s an easy, increasingly popular medical fix that unlocks the power of the belch, and it’s actually changing lives. Popular Science: #medical #sciencefacts #science #scienceandtechnology
