Washington, Mar 24: Scientists may soon be able to find a way to prevent common blunders, such as spilling a cup of coffee or failing to notice a red light, thanks to a new research, which has shown that the human brain is capable of signalling when an error is about to happen.
A research team, led by a researcher at the University of California, Davis, in collaboration with the Donders Institute in the Netherlands, has found a distinct electric signature in the brain, which predicts when an error is about to be made.
Washington, Mar 24: An international team of researchers has created a global map that shows the proportion of malaria infected population at locations throughout the globe – a development which can act as a key tool to help in the control and elimination of the disease.
For developing the map, the researchers used data from nearly 8000 local surveys of rates of infection by Plasmodium falciparum.
