Autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders often aren't diagnosed until a child is a few years of age, when behavioral interventions and speech/occupational therapy become less effective. But new ...

Scientists from the University of California San Diego School of Medicine are suggesting Alzheimer’s disease may be detected years before symptoms appear by examining pupil dilation. The new study ...

COLUMBIA- A researcher at the University of Missouri discovered how a person's mental workload can be measured by pupil dilation. Mental workload can be defined as the amount of work one's brain ...

The botched launch of two global-positioning satellites four years ago has proven to be a real gift to physicists. Scientists have used the Galileo 5 and Galileo 6 spacecraft to measure "gravitational ...

The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at ...

Neuroscientists have shown that a person's hearing can be assessed by measuring dilation of the pupils in eyes, a method that is as sensitive as traditional methods of testing hearing. University of ...

In a dual set of papers published in Science last week, an international group of researchers presented an experiment which used relativistic time dilation to measure the curvature of spacetime. The ...

With nearly breakneck speed, the demands of work productivity in today's society seem to have increased tenfold. Enter multitasking as a way to cope with the insistence that tasks be completed almost ...
