  • How Love Really Works

    2 days ago

    How Love Really Works

    Most of us have ideas about what we’re looking for in a romantic partner. But psychologist Paul Eastwick says these preferences are surprisingly poor guides for finding love. He explains why attraction is so difficult to predict, and what the research suggests is the best way to meet someone with whom you'll connect. Then, in a new installment of “Your Questions Answered,” psychologist Ed Lemay responds to your questions about how we project our own thoughts and feelings onto other people, and how these projections shape our relationships. In our companion conversation for Hidden Brain+ subscribers, we talk with Paul Eastwick about online dating apps. He says apps can powerfully shape our experience of meeting potential romantic partners — often not for the better. If you're a subscriber, that episode is called “The Online Dating Trap.” If you're not yet a subscriber, you can listen to that conversation with a free seven-day trial to Hidden Brain+ by going to support.hiddenbrain.org.

    Ghosts - Isy Suttie, Laurence Rickard, Ciarán O'Keeffe and Chris French

    Things that go bump in the night meet the cold light of science as Jessica Fostekew and Prof Adam Rutherford investigate why ghosts continue to haunt our imaginations. Joining them for some spooky science are psychologists Chris French and Ciaran O'Keeffe, comedian Isy Suttie and actor and co-creator of Ghosts Laurence Rickard. From sleep paralysis and haunted houses to séances, paranormal investigations and the power of suggestion, they ask why people see and sense things that aren't there, what makes somewhere feel haunted, and whether science can explain our strangest ghostly encounters. So dim the lights and enter the monkey cage....if you dare!

  • Miksi niin moni asia luonnossa haluaa olla jäkälä?

    28 Oct

    Miksi niin moni asia luonnossa haluaa olla jäkälä?

    Maailman jäkälälajeista tunnetaan mahdollisesti vasta puolet, eikä tiede osaa vielä varmasti sanoa edes sitä, mikä oikeastaan on jäkälä. Miksi jäkälän syvin olemus on niin vaikeaa tavoittaa? Entä löytyykö jäkälästä seuraava ratkaisu antibioottiresistenssiin tai lääke Alzheimerin tautiin? Yliopistotutkija Annina Kantelinen selittää, miksi jäkälätutkimuksessa on otettu viime aikoina isoja harppauksia ja miksi jäkälöiden tutkimus on nyt ehkä tärkeämpää kuin koskaan. Utelias mieli on Helsingin yliopiston podcast, joka puhuu tieteestä tunteella.

    373 | Colin Camerer on the Neuroscience of Economic Thinking

    Economics often starts with an assumption that people are rational maximizers of their own self-interest; but it doesn't stop there. Economists do understand that sometimes people are irrational, altruistic, or just random. So how can we understand how people actually do behave in economic circumstances? Colin Camerer is a pioneer of "neuroeconomics" -- not only understanding how people make economic choices, but relating it to processes in the brain.

  • Is 100 Better Than 101?

    2 days ago

    Is 100 Better Than 101?

    Is 100 really such a special number? Or have we spent thousands of years getting excited about something completely arbitrary? To celebrate the 100th episode of The Rest Is Science, Professor Hannah Fry and Michael Stevens (Vsauce) go head-to-head in a mathematical showdown: which is the better number, 100 or 101? It sounds like a simple question, but the answer takes them from the strange history of counting, to the psychology of numbers, the mathematics of primes and the possibility of communicating with alien species. Why do we find round numbers so satisfying? Would 100 mean anything if we'd evolved with 9 fingers? And is there a single number that’s fundamentally special, regardless of the counting system we use? Can Hannah and Michael settle the debate once and for all? Or is the most ‘important’ number of all one they haven't even considered yet? ------------------- For more information about Cancer Research UK, their research, breakthroughs and how you can support them, visit https://cancerresearchuk.org/restisscience Cancer Research UK is a registered charity in England and Wales (1089464), Scotland (SC041666), the Isle of Man (1103) and Jersey (247).

  • 108 Venäjä ja Arktis: suurvallan pohjoinen sotilaspolitiikka

    108 Venäjä ja Arktis: suurvallan pohjoinen sotilaspolitiikka

    Mikä tekee arktisesta alueesta Venäjälle erityisen tärkeän? Arktinen alue mielletään usein syrjäiseksi, harvaan asutuksi ja vaikeakulkuiseksi alueeksi. Venäjälle se on kuitenkin paljon enemmän: strategisesti tärkeä toimintaympäristö, merkittävä luonnonvarojen lähde ja mahdollisuus vahvistaa asemaansa kansainvälisessä politiikassa.   Tässä jaksossa tarkastelemme Venäjän intressejä arktisella alueella. Millaisia sotilaallisia joukkoja ja suorituskykyjä Venäjällä on Suomen Lapin lähialueilla? Millainen merkitys luonnonvaroilla ja Koillisväylällä on Venäjän strategisille tavoitteille arktisella alueella?   Jaksossa keskustelevat Maanpuolustuskorkeakoulun Venäjä-ryhmän apulaissotilasprofessori evl. Juha Kukkola ja tutkija Milla Olkkonen. Keskustelua moderoi Venäjä-asiantuntija Santeri Leinonen.
