2 MINUTES-KEEP FIT OLDIE
Old or a Pensioner you could improve your health by doing intense exercise 2 times a week.This was done through a group that did 2 rapid weekly exercise bike sessions at Abertay Kniversith,Dundee.
BUGS DON,T LIKE BUMPED FISTS
Here is a intesting claim that if you high five or bump fists its more hygienic than shaking hands.This was conducted by various hand greetings in a e coli smeared rubber glove.
Mobile phone app sheds new light on risk taking behaviour
Scientists found that four puzzles in The Great Brain Experiment app can measure several different aspects of cognitive function.
Other games test our visual perception and our ability to remember things.
Scientists hope that results from thousands of participants will help them address population differences.
The research has been published in the journal Plos One.
By playing games participants can compare themselves to the other players while sending data back to the scientists.
"Each of these games is a serious scientific experiment," said Dr Peter Zeidman, a neuroscientist from University College London who was involved with the research.
"By playing the games people can not only have some fun but can contribute to the latest research in psychology and neuroscience," he added.
The "Am I Impulsive?" game, for
example, asks participants to smash fruit that is falling from a tree
using their fingers, but to refrain from smashing it when it is rotting,
indicated by the fruit turning brown.
Harnessing big data
"That ability to hold yourself back from an action - trying to
not do something - is a really important human ability and something
we want to understand better."People with certain psychiatric illnesses or neurological problems have an impaired ability to inhibit their actions, for example ADHD or schizophrenia... If we can better understand just in the healthy population how people inhibit their actions then we'll learn a lot more," Dr Zeidman told the BBC's Science in Action Programme. READ MORE

Big cat debate re-ignited by a chance photo which captures 'the Beast' -mysterycatblog post repost
In the broad light of a Cornish day, a creature leapt at a amateur photographer leading to claims that a big cat, akin to the Beast of Bodmin Moor, is yet again on the prowl.
Henry Warren as out and about taking pictures in fields near his home in Gwinear, West Cornwall, when the large cat-like creature pounced.
The 19-year-old, who despite being stunned managed to keep his finger on the shutter button to grab an image, said he was convinced the animal must have been a big cat.
The publication of his photograph has once more re-ignited the debate about whether the Westcountry is home to packs of secretive puma-like creatures which roam the fields or - as many people claim - that the only thing on the loose is an overactive imagination.
Mr Warren said he was in no doubt about what he saw.
