Mind-reading devices are still a thing of science fiction, but scientists can now peer into the brain and pinpoint complex memories. In the latest issue of the journal Current Biology, researchers at University College London report using a brain scanner to effectively figure out what different people were thinking.

Not, it seems, because they cannot be bothered to remember, according to a study from the Institute of Education, University of London

US Olympians to be based at University of East London - well as long as they don't get mugged hopefully they might learn something during their training.

The Florence Institute of Design International is to repeat the success of last years’ summer architecture course led by Prof. Karin Templin, an authority in Florentine architecture from Kingston University, London. This year the courses in Architecture and Furniture Design will be held in Florence from June 7th to July 2nd 2010.

Computer programs have been able to predict which of three short films a person is thinking about, just by looking at their brain activity. The research, conducted by scientists at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at UCL (University College London), provides further insight into how our memories are recorded.

A scan of brain activity can effectively read a person's mind, researchers said Thursday. British scientists from University College London found they could differentiate brain activity linked to different memories and thereby identify thought patterns by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

A computer algorithm, functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), and neuroscientists working together have been able to identify what people are remembering by measuring blood flow levels, according to new research out of the University College London.First, a group of 10 volunteers (average age 21) wa

Mian Muhammad Mansha is a prominent industrialist and entrepreneur who is often regarded as the richest man in Pakistan. Born in Lahore to a wealthy Chiniot family, his privileged upbringing allowed him to enjoy an early business education at an elite university. He formally joined the family business after completing his studies in London.

A group of scientists says the idea that life emerged from a prebiotic broth is past its expiration date. Biochemist Nick Lane thinks so. The University College London writer and his colleagues argue that the 81-year-old notion just doesn't hold water.
