We usually take some brain booster drinks to boost our brains and hence we can work more in less time , that is really a cool idea , no matter some of the energy drinks can lead to your heart failure like click ME to view article , So inspite of this you can listen to music you would like to listen while working to enhace your brain that is the CPU of yourself :)

The most important thing of listening to music while you do any of your business, that it has no effect on your ears , no side effects as foods, energy drinks and suppliments,

Listening to a single genre can get boring when it’s played too much. The technique is to get as much music as possible and shuffle with some cool, slow jams. You wont have to listen to the same arrangement of the tracks the whole time you’re working. You can try mixing songs from different genres.

Faster music means more energy – will make you create vivid, sturdy, decisions
Slower, idyllic music could make you create cautious, embellish, slick working.

Research studies have illustrated how listening to music is a more complex endeavor than it seems on the surface: the human brain has to sort out tones, timing, and sequencing of various sounds, in order to comprehend music. It is believed that the frontal lobe of the brain is stimulated and activated by listening to music, as it is the part of the brain that is associated with higher mental functions such as thinking abstract thoughts, or planning for the future.

"You may have noticed when you dance to music – the faster the tempo, the energetic the moves or steps you make. ;)"

Most of the persons having Amplyobia ( is the loss of one eye's ability to see details. It is the most common cause of vision problems in children ) and lazy eye have been marked with improved Color perception & 3-D depth etc by playing various featured video games.

The researchers founded the good results in people having the Amplyobia by playing video games that are having some a huge amount of visual details. You can play games like "Medal Of Honour " , "IGI" , "Counter Strike" and much more.Both action and non-action games yielded a 30 percent increase in visual acuity, or an average improvement of 1.5 lines on the standard letter chart used by optometrists.
Anisometropic volunteers also saw a 50 percent improvement in 3-D depth perception after 40 hours of playing video games.

These new results join recent findings that suggest video games can also help sharpen the mind when it comes making quick and accurate decisions. The researchers will now compare video game therapy with the use of patches for treating amblyopia in a randomized clinical trial with children and adults.

So in your leisure time try to play most of the video games to sharpen your mind and your eyes :)

Vitamin B6 is a very powerful co-enzyme that work with other vitamins & other nutrients to produce its benefits.Our body needs this vitamin to convert amino acid L-TRYPTOPHAN into a neurotransmitter called SEROTONIN( Serotonin is a neurotransmitter, involved in the transmission of nerve impulses). These neurotrasmitters connnect logically nerve cells to other cells that allow us to communicate.

Our diet must include a sufficient amount of Vitamin B6 to work as a medicine that defenses Heart diseases.
Vitamin B6 can help with heart disease is that it helps lower blood levels of homocysteine (Homocysteine is a harmful amino acid.

Charge Your Cellphones , Laptops with Air

2011-08-20T06:29:00.000-07:00

Have we ever think that our mobile phones and laptops can be charged without the bundle of wires and charging gadgets around us ? Surely our answer will be No !
But , Nokia Inc. is working on a latest project by which the cellphone users and the laptop lovers will be able to charge their desired accessory without cables , yet increasing their portability and usabality.

This latest invention is more likely to be a great breakthrough in the field of information technology by
which a 100 Watt Bulb can be charged easily by a source two meters away by Wireless Technology.

This invention is based on the physical principal by which a energy can be transfered by using magnetically coupled resonance wirelessly.
Transferring of energy by this method is most efficient approximately 45-50% less hazard to human being as compared to EM Radiation.
It includes two coils made up of Copper metal, One coil acts as a transmitter and send waves in MHz and the second coil acts as a reciever and coverts the received resonance signals back to electricity to charge your accessory whether it is laptop or simply your cellphone.

Nokia.Inc has developed the prototype of this technique that can be able to transmit and Ambient Radio Waves Energy using certain sMast, Mobile Antennas and WiFi Transmitters from 3-5 Milliwatts of Power but Nokia's aim is high to provide upto 50 Milliwatts of power to boost the portability up.

Hold up guys and girls while this technique can be used by ourselves.Surely it will bring a great revolution in the field of Technology.Once again ,
Thanks to Nokia that is working on this tremendous technology.

Sweet Chocolates Keeps You Slimmer

2011-08-18T01:59:00.000-07:00

Sweet Chocolates Keeps You Slimmer other than the person's who don't take it too much .
Those with a sweet tooth might not need to feel so guilty about admitting it. People who eat candy and chocolate tend to have smaller waists, weigh less and have a lower body mass index (BMI) Body Mass Index than those who don't indulge in these treats, a new study says.

In addition, candy and chocolate consumers had a 14 percent lower risk of elevated blood pressure and a 15 percent decreased risk of having metabolic syndrome — a collection of symptoms that put people at risk for heart disease and stroke.
However, the results do not suggest that eating candy helps you lose pounds, the researchers say. Rather, it may be that candy consumers exercise more to make up for the additional calories they're taking in.

But...

"In the end, the findings confirm what nutritionists already knew — eating a small amount of candy won't hurt you."

Depressed People Make Better Decisions

2011-08-18T01:45:00.000-07:00

"Depression may not be a walk in the park, but those who have a clinical form of depression make better decisions, research shows"

Depression might not be all bad, new research finds. People with major depressive disorder do better on a decision-making task than people without the disease.
Depression is a psychiatric condition defined by consistently low mood, low self-esteem and loss of interest in normally enjoyable activities. About 20 percent of people worldwide suffer from major depressive disorder, the clinical name, at some point during their lifetime.

This is the first time a positive cognitive effect has been seen in people with major depressive disorder. The researchers suggest that these patients process information more systematically and analytically than their chipper counterparts. They might unconsciously put more effort into their decisions because they desire control of their environment.

The finding conflicts with other research suggesting depressed people are worse at mental tasks, because they get distracted by thoughts of their problems. Previous studies have shown they perform better when asked not to think about their problems.

If you're into snow sports, the Agera R can be fitted with a Ski Box as well as winter tires, not that I would take one on a ski trip or anything like that. While the Agera R has a massive theoretical top speed, the current tested top speed is 260 mph. Expect this snow car to be the Bugatti's arch enemy for the next 5 years.

Tattoos Linked with Bad Bacterial Infection

A rare but difficult-to-treat bacterial infection that usually strikes people with impaired immune systems is showing up for the first time in healthy individuals getting tattoos, the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported today.

Two cases of skin infections caused by this bacterium, called Mycobacterium haemophilum, have occurred in individuals receiving tattoos in the Seattle area, the CDC said.

These bacteria are in the same family as those that cause tuberculosis and leprosy. Symptoms of the infection include small bumps at the site of infection, in addition to redness, pain, swelling and discharge, the researchers said.
