Hippocampal Plasticity and Navigational Skills in Blindness

Navigation is a fundamental cognitive ability that relies on the hippocampus, a brain region that is known for its role in spatial representation and memory. In individuals with congenital blindness, the absence of visual input leads to significant neuroplastic adaptations that support alternative navigation strategies. This review examines the structural and functional modifications of the hippocampus in individuals who are blind and explores the broader neural mechanisms underlying…

Multifactor Quadratic Hobson and Rogers models
A multi-factor extension of the Hobson and Rogers (HR) model, incorporating a quadratic variance function (QHR model), is proposed and analysed. The QHR model allows for greater flexibility in defining the moving average filter while maintaining the Markovian property of the original HR model. The use of a quadratic variance function permits the characterisation of weak-stationarity conditions for the variance process and allows for explicit expressions for forward variance. Under the assumptio…

Flip Co-op: Cooperative Takeovers in Shared Autonomy
Shared autonomy requires principled mechanisms for allocating and transferring control between a human and an autonomous agent. Existing approaches often rely on blending control inputs between human and autonomous agent or switching rules, which lack theoretical guarantees. This paper develops a game-theoretic framework for modeling cooperative takeover in shared autonomy. We formulate the switching interaction as a dynamic game in which authority is embedded directly into the system dynamics,…

How Alt. Leather Created a Plant-Based Leather Alternative | Happy Eco News
Alt. Leather's plant-based leather alternative uses agricultural waste and natural fibers to create a sustainable, plastic-free material for fashion and automotive industries. The Melbourne startup partnered with CSIRO to develop this innovative material that meets global ISO standards while addressing environmental concerns of traditional leather production.

What Scotland’s Ecocide Law Means for the Environment and You | Happy Eco News
Scotland’s ecocide law would make severe harm to nature a criminal offense. If passed, people could face prison and companies massive fines. It aims to fill gaps in current laws, strengthen accountability, and align Scotland with international environmental standards. The bill may be voted on by 2025.
