Synopsis

The book "Placebo Effect" explores the fascinating intersection of psychology, neuroscience, and immunology to understand how our beliefs and expectations can trigger real physiological changes. It delves into the science behind the placebo effect, demonstrating how inert treatments can measurably improve a patient's condition simply because they believe it will work. One intriguing area explored is how placebo interventions can influence immune cell activity, illustrating the power of the mind-body connection. Another insight highlights how expectations can modulate brain activity, impacting pain modulation and emotional regulation. This book uniquely integrates findings from various fields to offer a comprehensive psychobiological model of the placebo effect, emphasizing the importance of patient-centered care. 

 
The book progresses by first defining the placebo effect and distinguishing it from other phenomena. Then it examines the neurobiological mechanisms and finally focuses on clinical applications and ethical considerations. By presenting detailed research and clinical applications, "Placebo Effect" challenges the traditional view of medicine and highlights the body's inherent capacity for self-healing.

Impact of New Technologies on...

Siddhartha Paul Tiwari

Biography of the Author - Siddhartha Paul Tiwari
Siddhartha Paul Tiwari is an educator and a technologist. Currently, he is employed by Google Asia Pacific, Singapore. Prior to that, he was responsible for global learning and development at Google, based in Tokyo. His achievements include innovative educational techniques, the development of new graduate and postgraduate course curricula, digital intervention strategies, and the use of information and communication technologies in education. As the teaching environment has rapidly changed, Tiwari has been working tirelessly to integrate new technologies into university curricula and to help academia adjust to these changes.
An Overview of the Book
We already see the impact of emerging technologies on our lives and the economy in many different ways, particularly when it comes to the way we live our lives and the way we work. Due to this, there is fierce competition among companies across the globe in order to ensure that they are able to benefit from the new technological developments. Globally, the United States and Asia are emerging as the two global leaders in this area. Over the years, there has been a significant change in the landscape of emerging technologies since Alan Turing first asked in the 1950s if machines could think like humans. Emerging technologies will enhance economic growth and efficiency in the future. It is possible to greatly improve decision-making when large amounts of data are analysed by improving efficiency. It is likely that new products and services, new markets, and new industries will be created as a result, which will in turn boost consumer demand and generate new revenue streams. On the other hand, emerging technologies may also have a profound effect on society and the economy.

The Physics of Sound -...

Mark Hedges

Sound waves are a fundamental aspect of physics, representing mechanical vibrations that travel through a medium. Unlike electromagnetic waves, which can propagate through the vacuum of space, sound waves require a material medium such as air, water, or solid substances. These waves are generated when an object vibrates, causing nearby particles in the medium to oscillate. As these particles move back and forth, they transfer energy to adjacent particles, creating a propagating wave of compression and rarefaction. This process continues outward from the source, allowing sound to travel over distances. 
The two primary types of waves in physics are transverse and longitudinal waves. Sound waves fall into the category of longitudinal waves, meaning that the oscillations of the particles occur parallel to the direction of wave propagation. In contrast, transverse waves, such as water waves and electromagnetic waves, involve oscillations perpendicular to their direction of movement. In a sound wave, regions of compression correspond to areas where particles are densely packed together, while regions of rarefaction represent areas where the particles are spread apart. This alternating pattern of compression and rarefaction allows the wave to carry energy without transporting matter itself.
