The world of artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly advancing, and the potential impacts are immense. Microsoft and Google have recently joined forces to create an AI-powered conversation agent called ChatGPT. This technology allows users to interact with a computer by providing natural language input as if they were talking to another person. ChatGPT can engage in conversations with users on topics ranging from sports trivia to personal care advice, all while learning from its interactions. With this new tool at their disposal, businesses will be able to better understand customer behaviour and use that data for more targeted marketing campaigns. Moreover, ChatGPT could also help automate mundane tasks like customer support inquiries or medical diagnoses, freeing up valuable time for employees in those fields. The possibilities of this kind of innovation are truly exciting. To read more, use the button below to open the original external article.

You stand up quickly from the couch, and for a few seconds, you struggle to see and maintain your balance as your surroundings suddenly plunge into darkness. This common-yet-unnerving experience raises a question: Why do you sometimes get dizzy when you stand up, and why can your vision go dark? It turns out that this reaction — known as postural or orthostatic hypotension — is caused by a rapid change in body positioning, and it's usually nothing to worry about.

Abstract According to a classical view of face perception (Bruce and Young, 1986; Haxby et al., 2000), face identity and facial expression recognition are performed by separate neural substrates (ventral and lateral temporal face-selective regions, respectively).
