This man with the funny looking hat is a actually a Professor at the Toyohashi University of Technology in Japan, and the hat is actually a device which reads thoughts. You heard right, scientists in Japan are working on mind reading technology that will be able to scan your brain and determine your innermost thoughts. The machine works by sending electrodes to determine brainwaves and then matching those brainwaves with patterns of thought which have already been recorded in the lab. Mind reading technology is being sought after by companies and governments all over the world. Advertisers drool at the thought of knowing what you really want while spy agencies can use the technology to extract secrets from their enemies. However, these scientists hope to use the device to help people with speaking disabilities. What do you think about having your thoughts read?
With record low amounts of child birth, Japan's is experiencing a demographic crisis. Some busy businessmen are turning to courses in the hopes of finding a soulmate and raising a family. During the men only lessons, which are organised by Osaka-based company Ikumen University, single Japanese men tried out 'empathy bellies', which are 15 pound weights worn on the stomach designed to make men understand what it's like for women to experience pregnancy, while others washed baby dolls and practiced changing diapers to prepare for the day when they have their own kids.
If you've ever cooked before, chances are you've cut onions and chances are that you've felt the burn in your eyes that causes you to cry a little. Well guess what, that problem may have just been erased. After 2 decades of research, scientists working for the Japanese food company House Foods Group Inc. have developed a biochemical process to grow onions which do not cause the cook to tear up when cut. Known as the 'Smile Ball,' the onions are produced with an extremely low amount of enzymes which cause the 'tearing up' reaction. House Foods' researchers won the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 2013 for the development of their Smile Ball onion. They are about to cash in on their twenty years to research too - House Foods Group will see its Smile Ball onions, which will cost twice the price of traditional onions, hit stores across Japan this autumn. No more crying at the kitchen table, imagine that.
