A cloudy day. Working in a cubicle farm. Growing up in poverty. But can it also impact our health? There’s a growing body of research that suggests the beneficial effects of picking and hanging the “right” artwork in hospitals, to help healing and improve patients’ mood: Nanda, who has a doctorate in architecture with a specialization in health-care systems and design, says scientific studies show that art can aid in the recovery of patients, shorten hospital stays and help manage pain. But she says it has to be the right art - vivid paintings of landscapes, friendly faces and familiar objects can lower blood pressure and heart rate, while abstract pictures can have the opposite ...

My intro to the meeting can be found here. In this post I want to review the most exciting new display technology I saw on multiple fronts at the meeting- and share with you my predictions of how it will be used in medicine in the future. This technology is OLED OLED represents the next step in the future of video display technology. I have previously written about what the technology is and how it works here. The technology was introduced commercially by Sony at the 2007 CES meeting also in Vegas (the home of all new media conventions). Currently flat panel technology is dominated by LCD’s and plasma displ... docinthemachine blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1396204 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 19:31:52 +0100 1396204 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1321247&cid=t_179510_109_f&fid=35677&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2FBrainBasedBusiness%2F%7E3%2F256071355%2Fdiscovering_visual_intelligenc.html Could your firm benefit from more visual spatial intelligence?For some time now neuroscience discoveries have shown why we do not learn well through words or lectures. Too often ... multiple intelligences simply sit idle when words alone are used to direct learning. After time … because of little use … we fail to see the power of the human brain to learn more in less time - through visualization. It doesn’t have to be that way.Research at Tufts University …  shows how visual technology enables brains to learn in new ways. More specifically … researchers have figured out how to translate abstract, complex scientific concepts into accurate and understandable 3-dimensional images in ways that conventional visualization systems cannot create.Check ou...
