Apparently, lie detectors will be a thing of the past if this new decoding system actually works as promised. Developed by neuroscientists from the University of California at Berkeley, this computer will go about analyzing your brain activity in order to know just what you’re currently thinking. This is made possible by the use of a functional magnetic resonance imaging machine (in layman’s terms, a real-time brain scanner) to record all mental activity of a person while viewing thousands upon thousands of random images which range from people to animals, landscapes, objects, and everyday stuff. These recordings will then be processed and used to predict the mental patterns of the said person in the future based on the database garnered. So far, tests with neurological readouts generated by a different set of pictures proved to be an easy task for the decoder with a relatively high accuracy rate. I wonder whether the machine can be fooled by thinking about an food while looking at a car and vice versa.

Scientists from both the US and Canada have managed to develop a brand new accessory that generates energy which could be used to power portable devices in the future, and this very accessory must be strapped onto the knee. Sounds like a no-brainer to help keep your BlackBerrys and PSPs juiced up at all times if you’re the type who tends to do a whole lot of walking. This modified knee brace comes equipped with a drive train that is capable of converting mechanical energy into electricity, collecting lost energy whenever a person brakes the knee after swinging the leg forward to take a step.

Normally, I do not report on cars on this site. However, this one really got my attention. The Aptera Super-MPG Electric Typ-1 is quite a cool little number with its ability to achieve 300 miles to the gallon.

That’s right, you heard me, 300 miles to the gallon. It must have something to do with its 3 wheels or something. There are two innovative models that are already pretty much production ready, and could be open as early as next year!

“Where are the flying cars?! They promised me flying cars!” That was the infamous lament of actor Avery Brooks in a popular IBM commercial a few years back and he has a point. Where are the flying cars? Well, we’ve seen many announcements that they’re coming with the most famous is the Moller Sky Car. Now it seems that with losing over 40 million in development costs, even Moller executives are leery about the prospects for the future of their flying car.

“Where are the flying cars?! They promised me flying cars!” Those were the famous words of actor Avery Brooks as he kvetched about how the promise of the future wasn’t really all that promising. Well, maybe it is. Graduates from MIT have formed Terrafugia Inc., which has created a proof of concept for a prototype car plane is known as The Transition, a 19-foot, two-seat light-sport aircraft who’s foldable wings will allow pilots to land at an airport and then taxi right on to a nearby freeway for the drive home.

Ahh yes, the smell of burning rubber, tank petrol, and carbon fibre disk brakes are in the air. After three rounds of the formula one cirus in Australia,Malaysia, and Bahrain, the first big round of changes for the cars are in the air, and there are some doozies!!

To begin, my favorite reds, Ferrari have just installed so many changes in their “B-spec” car, that people are actually calling it a whole new car (technically not true as the main chassis core is the same, but apparently everything bolted on is new). The “ahem” flexible underbody is gone, and now conforms to the new FIA specs. Additionally new bodywork, on top of a wholly revised cooling system has provided a shocking half second advantage per lap improvement over the previous version, (yeah, that’d be the version that has 3 pole positions and 2 wins already).

Also, double world champ Fernando Alonso and his rookie racer teammate (who is AMAZING) Lewis Hamilton over at McLaren will be rolling in the race in Spain with a crazy new front wing that goes over the nose of the car, (check the picture). It’ s pretty nutty, but they say they have better results with that system, which, of course will mean that you can look for them on other teams in the near future.
