GETTING SMARTER WITH GOOGLE TRENDS
Google has many tools, some more commonly known and used
than others. Each in its own way can
help us to get smarter.
One of Google’s tools that can keep us informed about
current events and let us stay on top of popular trends is called – not
surprisingly – "Google Trends" . This
tool permits us to research and analyze topics.
For example, it can tell us what subjects are being searched on Google
and where the searchers are. A graph will show the level of “interest over
time” in a subject over a designated period of time. In addition, it will list “related searches”
and variations of “queries”.
For example, enter “Cleveland Cavaliers” in the search box
at “Trends” and see a graph that shows that the level of interest in the
basketball team since 2005 has fluctuated, with peaks in May 2009 and July
2014, no doubt due to announcements concerning its star, LeBron James. See also that the regional interest was
highest in the United States, followed by the Philippines, Puerto Rico and
Canada. Related searches were focused on the “city of Cleveland” and on “LeBron
James”, and the most queries were for “cavaliers”, followed by “cavs”,
“cleveland” and “cavaliers cleveland”.
Another example could be "stock market". Researchers would find a graph indicating a spike in interest in the last quarter of 2008 - not surprising due to the economic crash that began then. What might be surprising, however, is that generally the highest level of regional interest in the stock market is not in the United States. In fact, the U.S. is third, behind Myanmar (Burma) and India.
Explore. As it says on the site when the cursor clicks into the search box - "Look up search interest in any topic".
Within Google Trends there are layers of research and
analysis tools. “Hot Searches” will tell about the most popular topics of the day.
“Top Charts” will permit deeper looks by breaking broad topics into
smaller sets. “Explore” will help to
compare search topics across various social media, like Facebook, Twitter,
YouTube, etc.
Next time there is a topic that gets your attention (now?), use Google Trends and see what you learn.

NEW STUDY SAYS CHOCOLATE IMPROVES MEMORY
The results of a study published in the online journal Nature Neuroscience point to a significant improvement in memory for test subjects who consumed ample amounts of
chocolate.
For three months, healthy subjects aged 50 to 69 drank a
chocolate mix with different levels of antioxidants (cocoa flavanols). Those who drank a high level mix scored
higher in memory tests than those who drank a low level mix.
Brain scans were used in the research.
According to the study’s principal author, Dr. Scott A.
Small, a neurologist at Columbia University Medical Center, the subjects who
improved in memory scored in ranges normally associated with test-takers considerably
younger, even as much as 30 years.
Scientists posit that memory improvement like this comes
from an increase in blood flow or neuronal connections in the brain.
Though an unusually large amount of chocolate would be
needed to duplicate the conditions of the study in the average life,
researchers are nevertheless encouraged by the results.

TAKING NOTES WITH LAPTOP MAY HURT ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE, STUDY SAYS
In a 2014 study, researchers found that the use of laptops to take notes may be “harming academic performance.”
According to the psychologists who conducted the study, college students who had written their notes in longhand were more successful in answering conceptual questions about the material than students who had taken their notes with a laptop.
According to the study’s authors, Pam A. Mueller of Princeton and Daniel M. Oppenheimer of UCLA, using a laptop to take notes “results in shallower processing”.
The research was published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association of Psychological Science.

FOR SUCCESS, SINGLE MOTIVE BETTER THAN MULTIPLE MOTIVES
To gain success, it would seem understandable that the more
motives, the better, no?
Not so fast.
The motivation we draw on to do our work will shape the
level of success we reach, and multiple motives often compete, according to researchers
at Yale University. In addition, those people
driven by an “internal”, intrinsic motivation are more likely to succeed than
those driven by an “instrumental”, extrinsic, or “add-on” motivation.
“Internal” motivation is intrinsic to an activity, such as a
lawyer motivated by a desire to champion justice or a doctor motivated to heal. A goal of becoming wealthy might be considered
an “instrumental” or “add-on” motivation.
In a 14-year study of more than 10,000 West Point cadets,
who intrinsically strive to become leaders, Yale Professors Amy Wrzesniewski
and Thomas Kolditz found that the better leaders in their careers had been
driven by strong internal motives as opposed to those cadets who had a
combination of motives. Cadets who matriculated
at West Point with a focus on having a high-paying career were more apt not to receive
promotions or even to graduate.
The study, published in the current issue of Proceedings of
the National Academy of Sciences, suggests that “holding multiple motives
damages persistence and performance in educational and occupational contexts over
long periods of time”.

HARVARD TAKES ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO ANOTHER LEVEL
You probably have seen dozens of scenes in sci-fi, futuristic films depicting little robots -- like the tiny spy-bots zipping around in The Matrix, searching for Neo, Morpheus, and Trinity. Well, the future is now.
Computer scientists at Harvard have created a "swarm" of more than one thousand little robots that collaborate to form symbols or patterns similar to the way stars cluster in the sky or ants work together to accomplish tasks or cells interact in a human body.
Once directed, the bots are self-assembling and autonomous. They fix problems and correct their mistakes to accomplish their goal. As they work, they are self-organizing and operate without human intervention. In a catchy demonstration, the bots swarm like bees to form letters of the alphabet and shapes such as stars.

STUDY SAYS BODY LANGUAGE INDICATES LEARNING ABILITY AND CREATIVITY
Stanford researchers say that your creativity and your ability to learn may be revealed in your body language.
Using big data analysis, two scientists at the California
university discovered that students’ movements during a teacher-learner interaction
indicated whether or not they were about to learn. Students with extreme movements did not learn
as well as others.
In a separate study aimed at measuring creativity, the same researchers
observed teams of presenters offering solutions to a problem. They found that the more synchronized the
head movements of the team members, the more creative they were.
The scientists indicated that the findings of these studies
could have significant impact in the business world and in the field of education.

MAKE YOUR BRAIN STRONGER
Scientists are very busy these days trying to figure out how to strengthen the brain. And who doesn't want a stronger brain?
Fortunately, the research is finding that strengthening the brain may be accomplished without too much difficulty, in ways that are accessible to the average person. The methods may even be fun and rewarding.
Activities might include:
Of course, though this research is good news for most, the findings are general and may not apply to any specific individual. Consulting with a medical doctor would be in order before engaging a new diet or strenuous activity.

Activities might include:
- Picking up a new skill (for example, learning a language or a musical instrument can stimulate corresponding brain areas)
- Physical activity (can increase blood flow)
- Volunteering (teaching, for example, can refine cognitive abilities)
- Napping (sleep is refreshing and can help the brain organize better)
- Eating certain foods (for example, blueberries, nuts, green, leafy vegetables, and foods with anti-oxidants)
- Increasing social activities (relating to friends can keep stress levels under control)

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO MATCH HUMAN INTELLIGENCE IN 30 YEARS?
According to a noted scientist at Imperial College London,
machines may be as smart as humans in 30 years or sooner.
Professor of Cognitive Robots, Murray Shanahan, an expert in
the field of AI, is quoted in an interview with TechRadar that there is better
than a 50-50 chance that artificial intelligence will match human intelligence
in his lifetime.
This prediction comes amidst the much-publicized interest of
Google, Yahoo, and Facebook in the field of artificial intelligence. Recently, Google purchased AI company
DeepMind for a reported 400 million pounds.
Shanahan points to significant achievements in areas such as
speech recognition as indications that the science of AI is progressing
relatively quickly.

3 SIMPLE WAYS TO GROW YOUR BRAIN AND GET SMARTER
Not too long ago, the majority of mainstream scientists
agreed that the brain remained static or shrank as we aged. According to the prevailing thinking of the
day, the brain could not grow physically in the adult years, and it certainly could not grow in terms
of intellect.
That notion has little, if any, traction these days.
Thanks to an abundance of research in the past decade or so,
researchers now know that areas of the brain actually can grow regularly - physically
and intellectually. In other words, we,
indeed, can get smarter as we get older.
Typically, the catalysts for such changes in the brain derive
from the overall condition of the body, influenced, of course, by its
environment, that is, the factors that routinely affect us physically,
mentally, and emotionally.
Stress, for example, can adversely affect the condition of
the brain, as can a lack of sleep and exercise. Studies reveal that being
overweight or having high blood pressure also can increase the risk of poor
brain function.
On the other hand, research tells us that the better we
manage those and other issues and activities, the better our brain will
operate. We know, for example, that a healthy lifestyle can contribute to a
healthy memory.
A study of London cab drivers found that activities such as
preparing for exams and studying the streets of the city – which the cab drivers
must do to receive a license – increased the size of their brains in the region
related to memory.
So what can we learn from this growing accumulation of
research? What can we do to improve our
brain in a way that may help us to get smarter?
With the understanding that individuals should always
consult with their doctors and other professionals before undertaking any form
of exercise or diet, here are three simple (i.e., accessible and not complicated), but often overlooked activities that the research indicates can help:
- Walk – Walking is a great exercise, especially if done with others. Not only does it carry a cardiovascular benefit, but it also helps to keep us calm, lowering stress levels, and, if chatting with others along the way, helps to stimulate our minds.
In one study, men and women were
directed to walk for 45 minutes, three days a week, for a year. The results indicated improved cognitive
skills and an increase in brain size.
This is good news for everyone, but
for senior citizens especially, as the entire human body, including the brain, may tend to shrink as it ages.
- Eat and sleep with a
healthy focus – Research tells us that a good night’s sleep of 6 to 8 hours
or more contributes to a healthy brain, and that healthy diet choices can
fight mental disease. Foods that often get mentioned as particularly
healthy in this regard are whole grains, nuts, fish, and vegetables.
- Exercise mentally – Just as physical exercise can help the body, mental exercise can help the brain. Particularly helpful could be activities that introduce new challenges, such as crossword puzzles, learning a new language, or confronting ingrained habits, like brushing your teeth using the “other” hand every now and then.
We would be wise not to overlook or underestimate the benefits of these activities.

BRAIN TRAINING FOR SENIORS HAS LONG-TERM BENEFITS
Seniors who received brief training in cognitive areas, such as
reasoning and mental processing, showed sustained improvement in those areas
even after 10 years, according to a recent study reported in the Journal of the
American Geriatrics Society.
Researchers at Johns
Hopkins University
Participants in the reasoning groups were given instruction
in problem solving and pattern recognition, and participants in the
speed-of-processing groups were trained with a computer to quickly identify
visual information.
After 10 years, improvement was still significant. And participants who had received additional
sessions during the first three years showed even greater improvement.
Memory training was also administered in the study, and
sustained improvement was evident after five years, but leveled off at the
10-year mark.

CREATIVITY NO LONGER LEFT-BRAIN, RIGHT-BRAIN
Creativity has long been associated with the left brain/right brain theory - that is, simply put, the left brain person is logical and analytic and the right brain person is passionate and creative.
Recent research, however, has turned that theory on its head. According to new findings in the neuroscience community, creativity is not isolated in just one sphere. Rather, it involves numerous regions of the brain - in a trio of networks:
- The Executive Attention Network - used for tasks requiring sharp focus
- The Imagination Network - just as it sounds - for "mental simulations" from experiences
- The Salience Network - for a flexible path between external and internal resources

COMMUNICATING USING ONLY THOUGHTS

Wait...what? Thoughts only? Indeed, scientists have discovered a method of communication that uses thoughts only.
Researchers at Harvard have succeeded in establishing "brain-to-brain" communication between a human and a rat. In a recent experiment, using technology developed in the "hot" computer-brain field, which has created devices and interfaces that aid quadriplegics, scientists were able to get a sleeping rat to move its tail by using nothing but thoughts.
What might future experiments yield? Getting a rat to move its tail may not seem very practical at this point, but further research may actually lead to successfully establishing human-to-human contact via thoughts only. Imagine...

IMPROVING MEMORY - "WRITTEN IN CEMENT"
When plans or events or decisions are not yet fixed or final, often it is said that they are "not written in cement". On the other hand, of course, something written in cement is considered permanent. Have you ever written your initials in wet cement? They probably are still there. We can use this image of writing in wet cement to help us to remember.
Imagine that you have to remember a telephone number. And you consider yourself weak in remembering numbers of any kind. One way to help you remember the telephone number is to picture yourself kneeling next to a patch of wet cement - it's still fresh - you can smell it - and with your finger, you write or carve the telephone number into the cement. Feel the soft texture of the material. Stand up and admire your work. Stare at the number as you try to remember it. Now read the number aloud.
What have you done? You have used your senses to help you improve your memory. In fact, you have used four of your five senses - see, smell, touch, hear.
You now have a VISUAL cue to help you to remember the number - you SAW it; you admired it. You SMELLED the cement. You used your imagined sense of TOUCH to write it with your finger. You could FEEL the soft material as you carved the number. You HEARD the number when you read it aloud.
In the memory process, the more senses used, the more potential help available when trying to recall the information.
Incorporate this memory aid into your daily life. Write it in cement. The next time you try to recall a piece of information processed this way, chances are good that you will.
