For thousands of years, philosophers have pondered the question of whether humans are born with a'moral compass', or if we learn one as we grow older. Now, researchers have found that young babies can make moral judgements and punish antisocial behaviour – suggesting we're'inherently good' from birth. In experiments, the Japanese experts used eye-tracking technology to give eight-month-olds the power to punish a human-like blob on a computer screen. The babies were more inclined to give a punishment after they had seen it being violent towards a victim, the researchers found. Results suggest the motivation to give a punishment when it's due is intrinsic – something that we're born with – as opposed to learned.

Before the devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, Pompeii was a thriving city with a population of up to 20,000 people. Now, scientists have delved deeper into one of Pompeii's most beautiful homes, the House of Greek Epigrams. While the house has been damaged through centuries of neglect, weathering and volcanic eruptions, researchers from Lund University have been able to rebuild it, using virtual reality and eye-tracking technology. 'Eye-tracking technology and virtual reality do now provide unprecedented opportunities to assess the visual qualities of ancient spaces,' said Dr Giacomo Landeschi, co-author of the study. Moment Miley Cyrus' plane was struck by lightning The House of Greek Epigrams is an impressive home in northeast Pompeii that was once decorated with intricate frescoes.

Earlier Eye-tracking was mainly used in studies of psychophysics or cognitive development, in the last decade, the reduction in the cost of technological equipment and advances in machine vision has allowed this technology to go far beyond the scope of disease diagnosis. Today Eye-tracking is used to support multimedia learning, help in browsing the web, and is widely used in real-time graphics systems, which is especially popular for video games. The main problem of modern Eye-tracking systems is their high price. Equipment with viewing angle accuracy of less than 0.5 has prices from several thousand dollars. In recent years, more than 800 peer-reviewed manuscripts published on the topic of eye-tracking in popular libraries. In the last 5 years, thanks to the development of deep learning in the field of machine vision, happened a jump, which allowed for the creation of eye-tracking devices in the low-cost range.

Let's get two things out of the way: First of all, there are a lot of reasons to get a boob job, none of which are anyone else's business. Second, the perfect boob does not exist. But if you were a plastic surgeon hoping to be the Michelangelo of one person's idealized breasts, it would help to have a shared language of what's aesthetically important. Most plastic surgeons accomplish this over the course of several consultations, talking to the patient about what will make them happy. In an attempt to improve this process, a team of researchers in Poland used eye-tracking technology to see what parts of the boob people looked at when assessing the symmetry and relative attractiveness of breasts.

When looking at breasts, both men and women stare at the area around the nipples the most, plastic surgeons have determined using eye-tracking technology. The findings may help improve the outcomes of both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery by providing a more objective measure of breast aesthetics. Three quarters of'gaze time' was focused on the lower breast and nipple areas, which received the most attention from men and women, the researchers found. Furthermore, people are most likely to glance towards the so-called nipple-areola complex, which was found to be the'most common point of initial fixation'. 'Thanks to objective analysis of observer's gaze pattern, eye-tracking technology may provide a better insight into the visual perception of breast aesthetics and symmetry,' said paper author Piotr Pietruski of the Memorial Hospital, Warsaw.

A terminally-ill British scientist dying from a muscle wasting disease says has fully completed his transition into the world's first full cyborg - called Peter 2.0. Dr Peter Scott-Morgan, 61, decided to challenge what it meant to be human when he refused to accept his fate following a diagnosis of motor neurone disease in 2017. He said he wanted to push the boundaries of what science can achieve so decided to extend his life and become fully robotic . And this week the world-renowned roboticist returned to his home in Torquay, Devon, after 24 days in Intensive Care, with all medical procedures now complete and able to begin his re-booted life. But the evolution of his machine-like existence doesn't end there - and he joked he had more upgrades scheduled than Microsoft.

LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - As vehicles get smarter, your car will be keeping eyes on you. This week at CES, the international consumer electronics show in Las Vegas, a host of startup companies will demonstrate to global automakers how the sensor technology that watches and analyzes drivers, passengers and objects in cars will mean enhanced safety in the short-term, and revenue opportunities in the future. Whether by generating alerts about drowsiness, unfastened seat belts or wallets left in the backseat, the emerging technology aims not only to cut back on distracted driving and other undesirable behavior, but eventually help automakers and ride-hailing companies make money from data generated inside the vehicle. In-car sensor technology is deemed critical to the full deployment of self-driving cars, which analysts say is still likely years away in the United States. Right now, self-driving cars are still mainly at the testing stage.

A terminally-ill scientist who is dying from a muscle wasting disease has taken the final steps to become the world's first full cyborg . Dr Peter Scott-Morgan, 61, was diagnosed with motor neurone disease two years ago, but instead of accepting his fate he decided to challenge what it meant to be human. He said he wanted to push the boundaries of what science can achieve so decided to extend his life and become fully robotic - known as Peter 2.0. The world-renowned roboticist has already undergone a series of incredibly complex and risky operations during his journey. This has included developing a remarkably life-like avatar of his face before he lost any muscle.

A scientist who is dying from a muscle wasting disease is taking drastic steps in his bid to become the world's first true cyborg. Dr Peter Scott-Morgan, 61, from Torquay, Devon, was diagnosed with motor neurone disease two years ago and told it would only take until this year to kill him. But instead of accepting his fate he decided to challenge what it meant to be human and now hopes to create Peter 2.0. He is gradually replacing his bodily functions with machinery – an electric wheelchair now enables to him to be upright, sitting or laid down; he has banked his voice on a computer and had his voicebox removed; and is fed through a tube and has a catheter and colostomy bag attached so he doesn't eat or excrete. Dr Scott-Morgan shared the photo on social media with the caption: 'This is my last post as Peter 1.0.
