...projected images - an X or an H, for example, or basic forms such as blocks and circles, tables and chairs - contain live pixels that the video camera registers as a flash when it passes over them. As the camera crosses a live pixel, it sends a signal to the transmitter, which passes it on to the stimulator, which sends an electrical charge to Marie's optic nerve. The result: Marie sees a series of flashes that join up to form recognizable shapes...
...experiments carried out to date, Veraart has noted a correspondence between where Marie sees a flash and that image's actual location in space, which means that the flashes transmitted to Marie's optic nerve correlate with the outside world. Veraart has also discovered that different electrical pulses lead to different perceptions. One type of pulse might always produce a yellow image, for example, while another might always produce red. If this turns out to be the case, Veraart and his team intend to compile a lexicon of correspondences so that specific visual stimuli can be easily reproduced. Imagine public...

A study shows that women who take hormones for five years or more increase their risk of developing all types of breast cancer 70% and triple their risk of lobular tumors, a rare form of the disease. HRT was thought to help prevent heart disease, but two other studies have challenged that. It may be time to re-evaluate the therapy's risks and benefits...

As the night draws on, the pick-up scene becomes surprisingly good, especially on the tightly packed dance floor, where scantily clad young...
