We collected 10k hours of neuro-language data in our basement
Over the last 6 months, we collected ~10k hours of data across thousands of unique individuals. As far as we know, this is the largest neuro-language dataset in the world. [1] See here , here , here , here , and here (discussion only, no data available) for some of the larger datasets. See recent papers discussing the…

Coffee linked to slower biological ageing among those with severe mental illness
New research from King’s College London finds that coffee consumption within the NHS recommended limit is linked to longer telomere lengths – a marker of biological ageing – among people with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. The effect is comparable to roughly five years younger biological age.

Manganese is Lyme disease's double-edge sword
Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which relies on the antioxidant manganese to protect it from its host’s immune system. Both removing or adding too much manganese weakens the bacteria. Disrupting this balance could lead to new treatments for Lyme disease.<br />

GLP-1 drugs linked to lower death rates in colon cancer patients
In an analysis of more than 6,800 colon cancer patients across all University of California Health sites, researchers found that those taking glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) medications were less than half as likely to die within five years compared to those who weren’t on the drugs (15.5% vs. 37.1%

Microplastics: No longer a "maybe"
It’s Already Inside Us Microplastics are not just an environmental problem affecting nature. They’re in our blood [1] , lungs [2] , placentas [3] , brains [4] , and breast milk [5] . Every human tissue scientists have tested so far has come back contaminated. In diseased tissue samples of people with chronic illnesses…

Measuring the doppler shift of WWVB during a flight
We advertise 100 kHz as the lower edge of HackRF Pro ’s operating frequency range, but that isn’t a hard limit. While working on the design, I realized that it should work fairly well to pick up longwave time signals such as WWVB , broadcast at 60 kHz from Colorado, USA.
