Mongabay: Levying a $450 per hectare tax on deforested lands could help curb forest clearing in Bolivia, suggests a new game-based simulation developed by researchers. The game, dubbed SimPachamama, allows a user to simulate the impact of various policies on local welfare and forest cover near the agricultural frontier in Bolivia. A statement from the game's developers explains: SimPachamama (Mother Earth simulation in local Aymara language) simulates the actions and behavior of villagers near the agricultural...

Saving Reefs by Enlisting Citizens as New Scientists
2013-08-31 17:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: Ever wanted to see a coral reef up close? What until now has been a privilege reserved to a small minority is about to become something millions of us can (virtually) do. Scientists have hit on a way to harness 360-degree panoramas from Google's underwater street-view format in order to let anyone with access to a computer see reefs in real time. Scientists are using the eyes of citizen scientists to collect data and raise awareness about the health of coral reefs through underwater images...

How to make a brain perceive an exoskeleton as its new body
2013-08-30 20:28:09| Extremetech
Since claiming that he will build the robotic exoskeleton that enables a paraplegic to perform the opening kickoff during the next world cup, Miguel Nicolelis has been scrambling to make good on his self-imposed mandate. By all measures, he has logged several important advances en route to that goal this year alone. The latest offering from his lab at Duke provides an important link to how an exoskeleton will be incorporated at the cortical level, into the so-called body schema.
