You wake up in the middle of the night, convinced that an evil figure is lying in wait. You attempt to move, but your body just will not budge. You try to scream, but nothing comes out. The monster draws closer. It may sound like a horror movie scene, but this is the real deal — you're experiencing sleep paralysis. Sleep paralysis is like a waking nightmare, and the underlying causes for this condition remain unclear. This terrifying and mysterious sleep disorder, or parasomnia, has been experienced by people possibly since the dawn of humankind. And, it may have given rise to numerous ghost stories and mysterious accounts involving "things that go bump in the night." This most unsettling experience was first clearly documented in a medical treatise in the 17th century, by Dutch physician Isbrand Van Diembroeck, who wrote about the case of a woman "50 years of age, in good plight [health], strong," yet who complained of mysterious experiences at night.

A new benefit of dark chocolate could be in sight — literally. One preliminary study suggests that indulging in this tasty treat could improve vision. Researchers suggest that dark chocolate could improve vision. Scientists discovered that adults who ate a bar of dark chocolate saw a significant increase in visual clarity and contrast sensitivity in the 2 hours after consumption. Study co-author Jeff C. Rabin, of the University of the Incarnate Word Rosenberg School of Optometry in San Antonio, TX, and team recently reported their findings in JAMA Ophthalmology. Much to the delight of chocolate lovers, dark chocolate has started to develop a reputation as a health food, when consumed in moderation; it contains antioxidants called flavonoids, which are plant-derived compounds that can exert a number of positive effects, such as reducing inflammation. It is believed that these flavonoids are largely responsible for some of the potential health benefits of dark chocolate consumption, which include better cognitive functioning and improved heart health. Now, Rabin and colleagues suggest that the benefits of dark chocolate may extend to vision. Source

Often, cancer goes undetected until its advanced stages, when treating it becomes very difficult and the outlook less promising. But researchers from Switzerland are developing an implant that could alert "wearers" to the presence of cancer early on. Recently, the media has been inundated with the news of "smart tattoos" — developed by researchers from Harvard University in Cambridge, MA. They help to monitor health using biosensitive ink that changes color following the modifying composition of the body's interstitial fluid. Now, Prof. Martin Fussenegger — of the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering at Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich in Switzerland — alongside a team of researchers, has developed the prototype of another such "tattoo" for a precise purpose: detecting the possible presence of cancerous cells early on. Numerous types of cancer are diagnosed late, which diminishes the efficacy of treatment and might mean that people will likely not see positive long-term health outcomes. Read more ! A biomedical tattoo that looks like a brown mole when it 'lights up' could alert its 'wearer' to early signs of cancer.

When you meet someone for the first time, your mind actively turns on the assessment machinery to help gauge whether this is a person you can trust or not. You try to evaluate whether this person will have your best interests at heart, or whether you’re at risk of having this person take advantage of you. If you’re good at this skill, you’ll easily be able to figure out what your approach should be and react accordingly. If not, you stand to lose anything from your hard-earned money to a chunk of your well-being. In new research on the accuracy of interpersonal perception, University of Tennessee Chattanooga’s Katherine Rogers and colleagues (2018) investigated the role of personality in interpersonal perception. They were particularly interested in the ability of people high in the so-called “Dark Tetrad” traits to judge the personalities of others, but also to learn how they themselves are judged. The Dark Tetrad includes the qualities of psychopathy, Machiavellianism (tendency to exploit others), narcissism, and sadism. Each of these traits has its own unique qualities, but when combined into the Dark Tetrad, they become particularly malevolent. The question that Rogers et al. pursued was whether these unpleasant and, frankly mean, individuals would perceive others more negatively and whether they themselves would seem unsavory to those who interact with them.

Having sex can flavor our nights, and days, with sweet pleasure and excitement, relieving stress and worry. And, of course, sex has been key to ensuring that the human race lives on. In this article, we ask, "How does sex impact what happens in the brain?" Sexual intercourse is known to impact the way in which the rest of our body functions. Recent studies have shown that it can have an effect on how much we eat, and how well the heart functions. As we have reported on Medical News Today, sex has been cited as an effective method of burning calories, with scientists noting that appetite is reduced in the aftermath. Also, a study published in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior in 2016 found that women who have satisfying sex later in life might be better protected against the risk of high blood pressure. Many of the effects of sex on the body are actually tied to the way in which this pastime influences brain activity and the release of hormones in the central nervous system. Here, we explain what happens in the brain when we are sexually stimulated, and we look at how this activity can lead to changes in mood, metabolism, and the perception of pain. Source

Before we start, can you answer to this ?? How often do you think about your behaviors? Do you often criticize your behaviors? Do you usually analyze other people's behavior? Do you ever tell them or just keep it to yourself? Were you well-behaved as a child? Did your parents tell you off if you did something bad? How do media affect people's behavior? Is it a positive or a negative effect? Do you care about what people think about you? Why? Why not? Have you ever made any changes in your behavior? What's the one behavior you wish you could change in yourself? How do you behave when you see someone you don't like? How do you behave at a party when they serve a food you don't like? How do you behave when you love someone? Do you express it in words? When you see other people in the world, there are several predictions you often make about them. You often want to predict what they will do (like whether someone standing at a crosswalk is about to head out into the street in front of your car). You also want to predict why they do what they do. For example, that person might be walking into traffic, because they are in a hurry or because they are generally impulsive. The pioneering work of the Harold Kelley (link is external) suggested that people are trying to figure out the causes of other people’s behavior. In some situations, there is nothing to figure out. When people engage in behaviors that everyone does, then we can just appeal to a social norm to explain behavior. For example, there is no need to explain why a particular person stands facing the door of an elevator. When someone engages in a behavior that is not typical, though, then there is something to be explained. If you see a man yelling at the cashier at a store, then that is an unexpected behavior that you want to explain. You might think there is something specific about the situation that caused the behavior. Perhaps the cashier made a costly mistake that angered the customer. Another explanation is that the customer had a goal he was trying to accomplish like to be aggressive in order to get a refund that was different than store policy. A third possibility is that the person has a trait that led to the behavior. This man just might be mean. How do people determine which of these explanations to give? A lot of work on the fundamental attribution error suggests that people explain their own behavior based on situations, but other people’s behavior based on some characteristic of that person. Still, though, that doesn’t determine whether that characteristic is a goal (like trying to get a refund) or a trait (like being mean). A paper in the February 2018 issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (link is external) by Irmak Okten and Gordon Moskowitz examined this question. They argue that when people have an atypical behavior they want to explain, there are two dimensions they take into account in figuring out what kind of explanation to give. They are focused on whether the person does the behavior all the time or just once (consistency) and whether they do it only in particular circumstances or everywhere (distinctiveness). They argue that behaviors that are highly consistent (they are done all the time) and not particularly distinctive (they are done in all situations) lead people to explain the behavior with a trait. Behaviors that are either not that consistent (they are not done that often) or are quite distinctive (they are done only in specific situations) lead people to explain the behavior with a goal, because goals are often specific to particular contexts.

Justin Chapple, the test kitchen pro behind Food & Wine's Mad Genius Tips, is joining TODAY Food to share 3 of his brilliant hacks for making the greatest grilled cheese sandwiches. He shows us how to make cheesy sheet-pan sandwiches to feed a crowd, waffled grilled cheese with bacon and tomato and Parmesan-coated grilled cheese with an amazingly crispy crust. Parmesan-Crusted Grilled Cheese This hack yields the BEST crust on a grill cheese sandwich you've ever had! Swap option: Make a vegan version by using vegan cheese on the inside, vegan mayo on the outside and nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan cheese. Ingredients Sliced bread Cheese slices Mayonnaise Grated Parmesan cheese Method Layer your choice of cheese between two slices of bread. Brush the outside of the sandwich with mayo and then dust with grated Parmesan. Heat a sate pan over medium heat, then place the sandwich in the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cheese is melted. Waffled Grilled Cheese Waffle irons aren't just for breakfast foods. Use this great griddle to make crunchy, textured grilled cheese sandwiches any time of day. Ingredients Sliced bread Butter, softened Cheddar cheese slices Tomato, seeded and finely diced Cooked bacon, chopped Method 1. Preheat waffle iron. 2. Brush sandwich bread with butter and then fill with cheddar cheese, tomato and bacon. 3. Place an assembled sandwich on the waffle iron, close the lid and cook until golden on the outside and the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Sheet-Pan Grilled Cheese Use two preheated sheet pans to mimic a giant press. This allows you to make several sandwiches at once, perfect for feeding a crowd! Ingredients Cheese slices Sliced bread Butter, softened Method 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place two sheet pans in the oven to heat. 2. Assemble the sandwiches and butter each side of the sandwich. 3. Carefully remove the heated pans from the oven. Place the sandwiches on one sheet pan. Place the second sheet pan on top of the sandwiches and press down lightly. Place in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, until the outsides are golden brown and the cheese is melted. Source

Parenting changes everything. There’s no getting around it. Becoming a mother or father is hard and demanding, And when you become a parent for the first time, your life alters dramatically. Yet for the most part, we take to the job naturally and immediately when babies arrive. And it’s not just us. Mammals of all sorts, from mice to monkeys, must do the same because mammalian babies are born particularly vulnerable. That suggests that parenting behavior is hard-wired. Neuroscientists have long wondered how the brain manages such a complex and important feat. They’ve known for decades some of the brain areas involved, but they didn’t know much about how they were connected--how they worked together in other words. Now, a report (link is external) just published in Nature (link is external) gives us the first ever look at the inner workings of a brain-wide circuit orchestrating parenting behavior. The circuit that’s been identified is in mice, but there’s reason to think it might be similar in humans. In this circuit, a relatively small set of neurons coordinate all the necessary behaviors, sending signals to subsets of neurons, which handle the specifics. For instance, in mice, grooming pups is very important. The new paper identifies a subset of neurons that trigger that grooming behavior. The whole system works like a mayor’s office managing a large city, with a staff of several hundred running different departments that serve a population of millions. Read more !

Colors are omnipresent around us, they give us moods, feelings. Moreover, according to the countries, the cultures and the eras, the colors take on different meanings sometimes to the opposite of those of the neighboring cultures; as the white associated in the West with purity, whereas it is related to mourning in most Asian countries. Carrying a sense and a symbolic, the color can not be chosen lightly. You will need to consider the mood you want to create, the information that accompanies the color, and so on. Then comes the subjective question of good taste and harmony. They act on our emotions and influence our moods. They can excite us, relax us, comfort us or inspire us. Discover the psychology of colors. Read more !

Years of untreated depression may lead to neurodegenerative levels of brain inflammation. That’s according to a first-of-its-kind study (link is external) showing evidence of lasting biological changes in the brain for those suffering with depression for more than a decade. The study findings are from the same research team that originally identified a link between brain inflammation and depression. Along with subsequent research, the findings have started to change thinking about depression treatments. Evidence is increasingly pointing to the possibility that it’s not only a biological disorder with immediate implications, but over time depression may alter the brain in ways requiring different forms of treatment than what's currently available. This was a relatively small study of 80 participants; 25 had untreated depression for more than 10 years, 25 for less than 10 years, and 30 had never been diagnosed. All were evaluated with positron emission tomography scans (PET scans) to locate a specific type of protein that results from the brain’s inflammatory response to injury or illness. Throughout the body, the brain included, the right amount of inflammation protects us from disease and repairs us when we’re injured. But too much inflammation leads to chronic illness, including heart disease and potentially neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. If long-term depression results in more inflammation, the researchers expected to find more of the protein in the brains of those who’d suffered from untreated depression the longest. And that’s exactly what they found, with higher levels in a handful of brain areas including the prefrontal cortex, the brain area central to reasoning and other “executive” functions thought to be compromised by disorders like depression. If the results hold up (via more research with more participants) this will prove to be an important finding adding evidence to the argument that depression shares similarities with degenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s, changing the brain in ways research-to-date hasn’t fully grasped. "Greater inflammation in the brain is a common response with degenerative brain diseases as they progress, such as with Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease," said senior study author Dr. Jeff Meyer of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) at the University of Toronto. These findings build on a study (link is external) published in 2016 showing that patients with depression had higher levels of C-Reactive Protein (CRP), another biological marker of inflammation throughout the body, than those not suffering from the disorder. That was an observational study looking for a link between depression and inflammation (correlation not causation), but the results were significant. After adjusting for several factors, those with depression had CRP levels more than 30% higher than those without depression. What the research seems to be collectively indicating is that we may need to change our thinking about depression and its effects. The evidence affirms that depression truly is a biologically based disorder of the brain, and left unchecked it may run a degenerative course that damages brain tissue, possibly in ways similar to other neurodegenerative diseases. All of this places greater emphasis on the need to develop more effective treatments and, as urgently, work toward removing the stigma from those suffering. The latest study was published in The Lancet Psychiatry. Source

The following is an edited excerpt from my new book, Belief: What It Means to Believe and Why Our Convictions Are So Compelling Whatever you believe about the world and about yourself at this moment—without consulting books or the internet—comes from your memory. In a real sense, even your belief about who you are—your self-identity—is based on who you remember yourself to be. It is your memory that provides you with a sense of continuity in your life. Until not so many years ago, experimental psychologists viewed memory simply as a very sophisticated recording process, and any errors were treated as defects in the process. A mountain of research now clearly contradicts that view. We now know that errors of memory are commonplace, not rare, and rather than being caused by defects, they reflect the fundamental character of the memory process. Memory is not some sort of cerebral video recorder that captures events around us as we experience them. As solid and reliable as most of our personal memories seem to be, memories are not direct and faithful records of our past. And sometimes, we can have “memories” of events that never occurred at all. To the extent that our memories are fallible, many of our beliefs are likewise vulnerable to error. There are a number of influences that can distort or corrupt our memories and the beliefs associated with them: Retroactive falsification. When an event is recalled a number of times in succession, the details tend to become more consistent with one’s belief about the event. For example, suppose you describe a recent experience with a rude waiter. You recall that your partner had complained about the soup not being hot enough, and that you sarcastically suggested to the waiter that the chef should learn how to cook. The waiter then snarkily advised you to dine somewhere else next time. As you relate this account, your listener responds by suggesting that your sarcasm may have provoked the rude response, thereby challenging the “rude waiter” theme of your story. Now, the next time you tell the story, you may unwittingly or perhaps even deliberately reduce the likelihood of such a challenge by leaving out the bit about your sarcasm. Each new reconstruction influences the following one, and over several retellings, you may actually forget all about your sarcasm. This is retroactive falsification, and it can occur completely without awareness. It serves to maintain your belief, in this case that the waiter was spontaneously rude. Misinformation effect. The misinformation effect occurs when misleading information acquired subsequent to an experience leads to alterations in memory and belief about the experience. For example, in one study participants were presented with a series of photographs portraying a thief stealing a woman’s wallet and then putting it in his jacket pocket. Subsequently, the participants listened to a recording that described the series of photos, but the recording indicated that the thief had put the wallet into his pants pocket. A substantial proportion of the participants later recalled that the photographs had shown the thief putting the wallet into his pants pocket. The subsequent misinformation had become part of their memories, and their beliefs about what had occurred. Imagination inflation. Source Article by James E. Alcock Ph.D

You dont want to waste time reading this ? or you want to do something else and reading this in same time ? CLICK HERE !!! What will most help you lead a long happy and healthy life? Is it making lots of money? Is it a great job that you enjoy? Perhaps it’s fame. If you ask a young person, many are likely to give you one of those answers. Or possibly all three. Some cultures put more importance on work and money than others. Americans can be obsessed with their jobs and making money. They might feel the need to make lots of money for education, medical care, homes and cars. But it’s not just about the money. For many Americans, self-worth is linked to our professional success or failure. Many of us spend most of our lives working – sacrificing other activities. Imagine if we could visit our older selves and ask -- "What would you have done differently to be truly happy?" But we can’t do that. We could learn about what makes people happy, and what does not, by studying people over the course of their lives. Source

You dont want to waste time reading this ? or you want to do something else and reading this in same time ? CLICK HERE !!! Seaweed describes plants and algae that grow in oceans, lakes, rivers and other bodies of water. Some kinds of seaweed are too small to see. They float in the water and are the food base for most ocean life. Other kinds are huge, such as giant kelp. Their roots grow from the floors of lakes, rivers and oceans. Medium-sized seaweed wash up on beaches and shorelines all around the world. They are colored red, green, black and brown. The most common kind of seaweed that we eat is brown, such as kelp and wakame, and red, such as nori. Nori is the seaweed used to make sushi, the popular Japanese food. In fact, many people may think of seaweed as an Asian food product. After all, China, South Korea, Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines are among the largest producers of seaweed. However, seaweed grows all over the world and people worldwide eat seaweed. Norway, Chile, France and the United Kingdom are also major producers of seaweed. Scandinavians add seaweed to soup and salads. In Ireland, people have been eating seaweed for hundreds of years. It helped Irish people survive a severe lack of food in the country during the 1800s. The Scottish culture has also eaten seaweed for many, many years. And records show that ancient Romans used seaweed to treat wounds, burns and rashes. Now, the taste of seaweed may not be for everyone. Naturally, it can taste fishy. For those who do not like the taste of seaweed, dried and powdered seaweed can be added to foods without changing the flavor. And researchers at Oregon State University have developed a seaweed that tastes like bacon when fried. That is good news for vegetarians. Also good news for people who don’t eat meat is that many types of seaweed, especially those colored red, are high in protein. Source

We are what we eat. That is an old expression, but one worth knowing. A recent look at diets around the world shows that people who eat healthy food -- and not too much of it -- live longer. But which areas of the world have the best diets? The Lancet Global Health medical journal has published findings on whose diets are the best. Researchers studied the dietary quality of people in 187 countries from 1990 to 2010. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Medical Research Council supported this study. It found that foods found in some of the healthiest diets -- Mediterranean, New Nordic, French and Japanese -- may be very different, but they do have things in common. They are all heavy on local, seasonal foods and limit processed foods. They are high in vegetables and seafood and low in red meat. Mediterranean Many studies have been done on the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet. This diet has lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and olive oil. Japan The World Health Organization says that Japanese people are some of the longest-living people on the planet. The life expectancy there is 87 years old for women and 80 for men. Researchers believe the Japanese diet is the reason for such long lifespans. The diet has many foods that are low in calories and high in nutrients. Japanese people eat a lot of seaweed, tofu, miso soup, rice, vegetables and fish. Visit here for more informations and more pictures !
