AMAZON PREPARES A "WEARABLE" CAPABLE OF RECOGNIZING HUMAN EMOTIONS

Amazon



SUMMARY

Nowadays, a smart watch can know how many steps does a person, the calories he burns and even how the night has gone by monitoring the sleep, but it can't detect our feelings. Surprisingly, Amazon is preparing a wearable that can recognize human emotions with our voice. This device would be worn on the wrist and would work with a mobile application.

A scientist explains that "currently, voice technology is advancing a lot. And there are three aspects that informs about our voice. The first thing is what they are saying, the content. Then the person who is speaking. And third, other more subtle things like the recognition of emotions.

Advances in emotional recognition systems can make an assistant adapt to the mood of the user making communication between machines and humans more empathetic.

COMMENTARY

I liked a lot this wearable, it's like a person that could understand you in your more difficult moments, even better than a person, as it hasn't got feelings or other problems. Also it could be very easy to transport since is a little clock watch.

I know that it isn't sure that this device finally works one hundred per cent, but if is not this, in two years another company will launch another one. What is sure is that this invention will become a reality, that's the best part. 

I find incredible how machines are capable of recognizing our voice as well as our feelings or emotions. Yes, they can be scheduled, but how can they listen to us, understand us, and give us an answer to our problems? I will never understand it.

Criptozoología Alex Lapuerta

Criptozoología La criptozoología significa literalmente: 'el estudio de los animales ocultos' y es una pseudociencia que se ocupa de la búsqueda de animales cuya existencia no ha sido probada. Los animales de interés criptozoológico son llamados «críptidos», término creado por John Wall en 1983. Esto incluye a especímenes vivos de especies extintas, como algunos dinosaurios, animales que carecen de evidencia pero aparecen en mitos y leyendas, como Piegrande, el Chupacabras o el Monstruo del lago Ness; y animales salvajes lejos de sus zonas geográficas, como gatos fantasma. La criptozoología no es una rama reconocida de la zooligía ni de ninguna otra disciplina científica. Es un ejemplo de pseudociencia debido a que confía fuertemente en pruebas anecdóticas, relatos y supuestos avistamientos.

Hallan animales bajo un kilómetro de hielo en la Antártida - Resumen El equipo de científicos que ha perforado un kilómetro de hielo sobre el lago Mercer, a 600 kilómetros del polo sur, en la Antártida. Los investigadores hicieron este descubrimiento cuando examinaron algunos sedimentos situados bajo el lago. Allí encontraron restos de algas que vivieron hace millones de años cuando la Antártida era mucho más cálida y de animales mucho más recientes. Entre ellos hallaron carcasas de tardígrados u osos de agua, un pequeño crustáceo similar a una gamba y zarcillos quizás procedentes de una planta o de un hongo. - Fuente https://www.abc.es/ciencia/abci-hallan-animales-bajo-kilometro-hielo-antartida-201901182148_ noticia.html#ns_ campaign=mod-outbrain&ns_mchannel=abc.es&ns_source=organico&ns_linkname= desktop-tablet&ns_fee=AR23_1fila - Fecha de publicación                                                                                   19

THE BONOBAS HELP THEIR CHILDREN TO FLIRT SUMMARY Most mothers of mammals take care of their children until they reach adulthood, when they become detached from them or become independent. But with the bonobas the concern goes further; they take care that their children mate, even stopping the attemps of other males. Bonobo moms are capable of everything for make their children parents. When their childs try to mate and another males prevent it, mothers chase away these males. After several years of observing four groups of bonobos that inhabit the "Congolese jungles, the authors of the study found that where the mother is present, adult children are up to 3,14 times more likely to be parents than other males. However, the bonobas do not do the same with their daughters. Despite several years of investigation, the scientists didn't detect behaviours that facilitate their mating.
