    Soundtrack Of The Human Brain Revealed By Remixed Brain Waves

    Scientists have combined and translated two kinds of brain wave recordings into music, transforming one recording (EEG) to create the pitch and duration of a note, and the other (fMRI) to control the intensity of the music. The research, published in the open access journal PLOS ONE by Jing Lu...

    New Model Shows How Human Lungs Brush Out Intruders

    A runny nose and a wet cough caused by a cold or an allergy may not feel very good. But human airways rely on sticky mucus to expel foreign matter, including toxic and infectious agents, from the body. Now, a study by Brian Button and colleagues from the University of North Carolina at Chapel...
