Whether you're trying to lose weight, eat healthier, or track your diet for other reasons, there's no truly easy and automatic way to log your food intake. Today's best options are apps that require you to pick the food items you're consuming or manually enter that information. But what if the app knew, without your help, that you'd just spent a half hour crunching on cookies? That's the idea behind the "Diet Eyeglasses" revealed earlier this month at the IEEE Body Sensor Networks conference in San Francisco. The smart glasses have built-in sensors that detect muscle activity related to chewing, which could enable the continuous and unobtrusive monitoring of every morsel users chow down on.

Journal of Neurology and Neuroscience (ISSN: 2171-6625) is an international circulating peer-reviewed Open Access journal presenting original research contributions and scientific advances in the field of Neurology and Neuroscience. Journal of Neurology & Neuroscience aims to promote research communications and provide a forum for doctors, researchers, physicians and healthcare professionals to find most recent advances in all areas of Neurology & Neurological Sciences. Neurology & Neurosciences strongly supports the scientific up gradation and fortification in related scientific research community by enhancing access to peer reviewed scientific literary works. Neurology is a specialized area of medicine that concerns disorders and diseases of the nervous system. Neurology involves diagnosing and treating conditions of the central, peripheral and autonomic nervous systems.

When American novelist David Foster Wallace delivered the commencement address at Kenyon College in 2005, he urged the graduating class to "exercise some control over how and what you think." If you don't at least try to regulate your thoughts and behaviors, Wallace cautioned, you will go through life "dead, unconscious, a slave to your head." Wallace himself long suffered with unwanted negative thoughts and crippling self-doubt--and took his own life three years after that speech. But can our mind become a "terrible master," as Wallace described? Kessler, the former commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, has considered that question for the past two decades, studying how substances such as food, alcohol and tobacco can hijack our brain chemistry and compel us to act against our own best intentions--bingeing on brownies, booze or cigarettes.

Fujita Health University in Toyoake, Aichi Prefecture, is partnering with Toyota Motor Corp. to open a Robotic Smart Home -- a base for nursing robots at the Toyoake apartment complex -- next spring. As the nation approaches a "superaging" society when the baby boomer generation turns 75 years old and above, the project aims to develop small robots that can be easily installed in small Japanese houses, with the cooperation of residents. The Toyoake housing complex opened in 1971 and currently has some 4,500 residents. But 45 years after its completion, the facility's occupants are now predominantly elderly with 26.2 percent aged over 65. In 2014, the university signed a comprehensive agreement on nursing care and medical services with the city of Toyoake and the Urban Renaissance Agency.

Machine learning, the artificial intelligence technology behind Tesla's self-driving cars and Amazon's Alexa, has great potential to put big data to work. But the growing field may have another bonus: providing new pathways for women to get into tech. "Not everyone has to have that PhD in computer science," senior machine learning recruiter at Microsoft Amanda Papp mentioned to me in conversation at the International Machine Learning Conference in New York. "We have folks that have more physics backgrounds or biomathematics or permutational biology. As machine learning teams grow, it could lead to more job opportunity at tech companies for women with majors in physical science, biology, and math.

"It's like a videogame, but more fun because you're outside," says Isaac Kantor, my 10-year old neighbor, as he buzzes a Parrot Airborne Cargo drone past my head. Kids can use ROXs to play pre-programmed video games outdoors. Geocaching uses a GPS device to search for and locate hidden items in public places. Geocaching, which is really nothing more than using any GPS device to search for and locate hidden items in public places, is a hobby that has been growing for decades.

As artificial intelligence gains popularity, designers will need to adapt. Here's how to get started. It seems like everyone wants to invest in artificial intelligence (AI). And it's not just the tech giants: USAA is using AI to protect its users from identity theft and Under Armour has connected its health app, MyFitnessPal, to IBM Watson so users can get a more thorough read of their health. AI is already a 15 billion dollar industry, according to the MIT Technology Review, with more than 2,600 companies developing their own tech, and the value of AI isreported to rise to over 70 billion by 2020.

The Economist recently wrote a moving paean to the fate of autistic people in the western world. It revealed that one in 68 people in America are believed to be autistic, but western society appears to be doing a terrible job on actually helping the autistic among us contribute and feel valued. Although around half of those with autism are of average intelligence or above, they do far worse than they should at school and at work. In France, almost 90% of autistic children attend primary school, but only 1% make it to high school. Figures from America, which works harder to include autistic pupils, suggest that less than half graduate from high school.

Violence is everywhere in video games, but sex is still strangely taboo. On the off chance that sexual content is featured in a game, it tends to be weird, completely isolated from the rest of the gameplay and devoid of intimacy. But who says sex in games can't also be richly rewarding and even educational? For Robert Yang, indie developer and educator at the New York University Game Center, sex in video games can be a good thing. Yang's games have gone viral for their sophisticated, but lighthearted, approach to what happens between consenting adults.
