A face sticker that reads your brainwaves and can tell when you are mentally fatigued has been developed by scientists. The device, described as an "e-tattoo", uses small, flexible sensors that lie on the face to pick up the emission of all kinds of different brain waves. The technology picks up electrical activity from the brain and eye movement through processes known as electroencephalography (EEG) and electrooculography (EOG).

There is more to horseplay than meets the eye, scientists have found after discovering a wide range of equine facial expressions and their meanings. A total of 22 facial behaviours were identified, falling into one of four categories - playing, friendly, alert or aggression. Scientists gathered videos of 36 horses at an equine centre in Winchester, Hampshire, and used a computer system to track precise muscle movements in the face.

"We found significant differences in daily steps, time awake, and heart rate-sleep misalignment throughout the year across different genotypes, grouped by polymorphisms [differing characteristics] of the SLC20A2 gene," the scientists write in their study. "We see much larger differences in heart rate-sleep misalignment between the genotype groups in the winter than in the summer.

Cavemen suffered from bedbugs, according to a study. The small insects have been plaguing human sleep for at least 50,000 years, but populations boomed when humans left caves behind and started forming basic cities, around 13,000 years ago. A study on the genetics of bedbugs found the pest split into two lineages millennia ago, with one staying on bats and the other adapting to target sleeping people.
