Violent video games alter brain function in young men

  • PDF
TechAndComputer (Nov. 30, 2011) — A functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) analysis of long-term effects of violent video game play on the brain has found changes in brain regions associated with cognitive function and emotional control in young adult men after one week of game play.

The results of the study were presented November 30 at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

The controversy over whether or...

The perfect clone: Researchers hack RFID smartcards

  • PDF
TechAndComputer (Nov. 3, 2011) — Professional safecrackers use a stethoscope to find the correct combination by listening to the clicks of the lock. Researchers at the Ruhr-University Bochum have now demonstrated how to bypass the security mechanisms of a widely used contactless smartcard in a similar way. Employing so-called "Side-Channel Analysis" the researchers of the Chair for Embedded Security (Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christof Paar) can break the...

A SHARP new microscope for the next generation of biochips

  • PDF
TechAndComputer (Oct. 31, 2011) — Moore's Law, hardly a law but undeniably a persistent trend, says that every year and a half, the number of transistors that fit on a chip roughly doubles. It's why electronics -- from smart phones to flat screens, from MP4 players to movie cameras, from tablets to supercomputers -- grow ever more varied, powerful, and compact, but also ever less expensive. Whether the trend can continue until it runs up against...

To diagnose heart disease, visualization experts recommend a simpler approach

  • PDF
TechAndComputer (Oct. 27, 2011) — A team of computer scientists, physicists, and physicians at Harvard have developed a simple yet powerful method of visualizing human arteries that may result in more accurate diagnoses of atherosclerosis and heart disease.

The prototype tool, called "HemoVis," creates a 2D diagram of arteries that performs better than the traditional 3D, rainbow-colored model. In a clinical setting, the tool has been shown to...
