June is Migraine and Headache Awareness Month, which got us thinking: Are there any foods that can help with this type of head pain? "The most important thing I tell patients is that migraines are highly individualized," says Dr. Nicholas Church, a board-certified member of the American Board of Family Medicine and the American Academy of Family Physicians. "What helps one person may not help another, and what's a trigger for one might be therapeutic for someone else." A holistic approach is es

Augmented Vertex Block Descent (AVBD)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-06 21:04:56

Augmented Vertex Block Descent (AVBD) Vertex Block Descent is a fast physics-based simulation method that is unconditionally stable, highly parallelizable, and capable of converging to the implicit Euler solution. We extend it using an augmented Lagrangian formulation to address some of its fundamental limitations. First, we introduce a mechanism to handle hard constraints with infinite stiffness without introducing numerical instabilities. Second, we substantially improve the convergence in th

MIT brain scans suggest that using GenAI tools reduces cognitive activity

techspot.com Daniel Sims 2026-03-09 16:20:00

Why it matters: As the use of generative AI becomes increasingly common in education, law, politics, media, and other fields, many worry that reliance on the technology may reduce cognitive independence. A recent study from MIT strongly supports this concern, indicating that the use of digital tools significantly alters brain activity. The newly published paper explains that as participants in an experiment wrote a series of essays, electronic brain monitoring revealed substantially weaker conn

Brain activity much lower when using AI chatbots, MIT boffins find

Using AI chatbots actually reduces activity in the brain versus accomplishing the same tasks unaided, and may lead to poorer fact retention, according to a new preprint study out of MIT. Seeking to understand how the use of LLM chatbots affects the brain, a team led by MIT Media Lab research scientist Dr. Nataliya Kosmyna hooked up a group of Boston-area college students to electroencephalogram (EEG) headsets and gave them 20 minutes to write a short essay.

Cyborg Embryos Offer New Insights into Brain Growth

Scientists have created cyborg embryos by implanting electrode arrays into the developing brains of frogs, mice, and salamanders. Although the researchers reject implants in human embryos as unethical, they suggest their technology might one day help study and treat neurodevelopmental conditions in children. The stretchable technology at the core of the electrode arrays could record brain activity while remaining soft enough to accommodate the children’s growth. Recording the activity of neuron

Caltrain official lived in secret apartment built illegally inside train station

Joseph Navarro’s apartment was a typical Bay Area bachelor pad: on the small side, somewhat lacking in homey touches or creature comforts. But the location was hard to beat: stashed away inside the Burlingame Caltrain station. Images released Thursday by the San Mateo County district attorney’s office show the interior of the secret dwelling that Navarro, a former Caltrain deputy director, built illegally using public funds.
