"Six rules to make people like you"

1. Become genuinely interested in other people

This rule means that if you want people to like you, you have to be interested in things they do or like because how about if you and that person have something in common? That'd be great because both of you guys are interested in each other and what you guys do also here's a quote "You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you."

2. Smile
This rule means that if you smile and keep your head up people will think your a happy person and people will talk to you you always have to smile even if your going to problems always keep a smile on your face because eventually everything will get better you got friends and family that will help you but keep a smile and never a frown and if you see someone not having a good morning tell them a compliment and make them smile to brighten up there day. "Always remember to be happy because you never know who's falling in love with your smile" 

3. Remember Names 
This rule means that you have to remember people's name no matter what because if you meet new people and want to get to know them more you have to remember there name. If you meet this girl and you like her and she likes you, you really have remember his/her name its very important you do remember there names. Remembering things are good too it helps you with remembering things. 

4. Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves 
This rule means that you have be a good listener and encourage others to feel good about themselves you have to spread positive vibes and not bad ones because you want people to feel good about themselves and make them realize that they have a good life and good friends he/she has around them 

5. Talk in terms of the other man's interest 
This rule means that you should talk like the people or  girl your interested in talk like they do not like same attitude but talk in a meaningful way for you guys to understand eachother and relate to what both of you guys say

6. Make the other person feel important and do it sincerely 
This rule means that make sure the person you love or talk to feel important and knows that you're going to be there for them whenever make them feel special whenever your with the boy/girl make them feel loves, special, important, and cared for  

Reflection: My opinions and thoughts about these six rules of people liking you these are good rules i liked rule is rule 2,3,4 and 6 because those for me are important we always have remember names it's very important because it the other person is interested in you and your interested in them but that's my opinion those rules are important to me and for the other people you guys should follow these rules too!

Artificial neural networks decode brain activity during performed and imagined movements

Filtering information for search engines, acting as an opponent during a board game or recognizing images: Artificial intelligence has far outpaced human intelligence in certain tasks. Several groups from the Freiburg excellence cluster BrainLinks-BrainTools led by neuroscientist private lecturer Dr. Tonio Ball are showing how ideas from computer science could revolutionize brain research. In the scientific journal Human Brain Mapping they illustrate how a self-learning algorithm decodes human brain signals that were measured by an electroencephalogram (EEG). It included performed movements, but also hand and foot movements that were merely thought of, or an imaginary rotation of objects. Even though the algorithm was not given any characteristics ahead of time, it works as quickly and precisely as traditional systems that have been created to solve certain tasks based on predetermined brain signal characteristics, which are therefore not appropriate for every situation.
