Human Body Parts Printer

Organovo's NovoGen 3D Bioprinting platform creates human tissues. a revolutionary company that uses 3D printing technology to build organic tissues one cell at a time. The cells to grow and interact until they form working muscle tissue. Organovo's product is so similar to human tissue, it could help researchers identify drugs that will fail long before they reach clinical trial. Organovo has built tissue of several types, including cardiac muscle, lung, and blood vessels.Organovo's technology enables cells to interact with each other much the way they do in the body. Organovo has made only small pieces of tissue, but its ultimate goal is to use its 3-D printer to make complete organs for transplants.Because the organs would be printed from a patient's own cells, there would be less danger of rejection.

Game that Hacks your Brain

In a real-world scenario, the researchers foresee a game that is specially tailored by hackers to extract sensitive information from your brain. Using a commercial off-the-shelf brain-computer interface, the researchers have shown that it’s possible to hack your brain, forcing you to reveal information that you’d rather keep secret. software, which processes your brain activity and tries to work out what you’re trying to do (turn left, double click, open box, etc.) Universities of Oxford and Geneva, and the University of California, Berkeley — created a custom program that was specially designed with the sole purpose of finding out sensitive data, such as the location of your home, your debit card PIN, which bank you use, and your date of birth. To extract this information, the researchers rely on what’s known as the P300 response — a very specific brainwave pattern. The researchers basically designed a program that flashes up pictures of maps, banks, and card PINs, and makes a note every time your brain experiences a P300.
