How to send HD photos on WhatsApp

Instant messaging platform WhatsApp has launched HD photo sharing with end-to-end encryption. The feature comes with two options: standard (1600x1052) and high definition (4096x2692), offering up to 18 megapixels. To opt for the latter, select the HD button above the camera to choose between standard and high quality. Senders are initially set to send in standard quality, but media sent in high definition can be recognised by a small 'HD' badge. However, the HD quality mode must be turned on each time media is sent. https://ift.tt/NSKz1p0

This is how scientists recreated a popular song from listeners' brain scans

Scientists have used stimulus reconstruction to recreate Pink Floyd's hit, \"Another Brick in the Wall (Part 1),” by training a computer to analyse brain activity while listening to the song and using that data to recreate it. For the study, 29 participants had surgical implantation of intracranial grids or strips of electrodes. The participants listened to the song while researchers recorded brain activity across multiple auditory regions processing various aspects of music. The study shows that different parts of the brain are active when listening to music and speech, which may explain why stroke patients can sing sentences more clearly than speak them. https://ift.tt/khiD4US
