So this is where they're specifically setting up a memory reaction using a cue, like a music cue.
So I guess you could...
in a non-controlled way, because this is very controlled in a laboratory, in a sleep clinic, right?
But at your home, I guess if you can start associating specific music with specific problems that you're working on, I guess you could try and redo the experiment in what would be called an uncontrolled experiment.
So I think what the researchers said at the end of this was like, this is clear evidence that the brain is working on things and more work needs to be done.
As all scientists say, more work needs to be done to see how this can help us with like working on emotional processing or PTSD or things like that.
There's a million dollar app idea right there.
You think about...
Seeing outside, so the electromagnetic spectrum, we can see the visible portion defined by the portion that the human eye can see.
But there's a lot of other light.
There's UV light, there's infrared light, there's x-ray light, there's radio light that the human eye can't sense.
There's tons of examples in the animal kingdom of animals that can see other kinds of light.
Snakes can see infrared light, for example.
But in the mammal world, this type of vision is not as common.
But there's some work that was done with deer that apparently shows that
The eyes of deer are sensitive to UV light and there's UV light bouncing around our atmosphere all the time.
Now, what this researcher, what this group of researchers was interested in is like, does this have an actual biological reason?
Why do the deer need to see in UV?
And they found that in the autumn, when the antlers of the males grow big and they go around and they start rubbing their antlers on everything,
and peeing and pooing everywhere and marking their territory and making signals, they went to where all these rubs are, where they rub the... Basically, it's like a blood-rich skin that kind of comes off their antlers onto trees and bushes and stuff.
