Brain stimulation shows promise in reducing fatigue for post-stroke patients

1 month ago | medicalxpress.com | John Tibbetts

A painless and non-invasive pulse of electrical stimulation to specific brain areas can ease some symptoms of post-stroke patients, though how it works remains a physiological mystery. A pilot study of a post-stroke population by researchers from Syracuse University's Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders revealed some potential benefits of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on attention and fatigue. Study findings are published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience.

10 Video Game Protagonists Who Were Doomed From The Start

Oct 22, 2024 | whatculture.com | John Tibbetts

The protagonist of a video game is meant to be the avatar for the player. Even if they have their own personality, wants and needs, that fact is indisputable. So it's unlikely, in most games, that things won't eventually turn out in the protagonist's favor. But that hasn't stopped some games from bucking this trend. In fact, not only are some video game protagonists not destined for success, they can actually be doomed from the beginning to have a very sticky end.

10 Saddest Horror Movie Moments

Oct 1, 2024 | whatculture.com | John Tibbetts

The best horror carves into your chest and scoops out your heart, leaving you feeling utterly empty inside, so why wouldn't sadness be one of the many tools in the horror writer's toolkit? While many horror movies - even the really good ones - are merely content to scare you and leave it at that - other horror movies love to add in a few sucker punches to the gut to drive home the point. We all know the usual suspects here: The Mist, Cronenberg's The Fly, Ari Aster's entire career, etc.
10 Video Game Enemies We Hate More Than The Final Boss

Sep 19, 2024 | whatculture.com | John Tibbetts

Typically, the final boss is meant to be the game's hardest challenge. This follows simple logic - why wouldn't the last thing you do in a game be the most challenging?

Sep 6, 2024 | whatculture.com | John Tibbetts

There are many reasons why TV shows become hard to find. Sometimes demand isn't high enough to warrant a re-release, sometimes certain licenses run out, and the studio doesn't feel like forking over the money required to renew it, or - in the case of our current hellhole of a reality - they're wiped from existence to balance the checkbook. The parasites up top have never had more means of destroying art than they do now, and they take advantage of those means frequently and maliciously.
