| Summary/Abstract |
Helmet mounted displays (HMD) help pilots to better harness human sensation, perception, and cognition to enhance their mission performance. They increase tactical capabilities of pilots, aircraft, and weapons as a single, integrated system. The introduction of these new technologies brings about a need to better understand the expectations and limitations of the human brain and its visual and auditory senses to best meld pilot with machine.

| Summary/Abstract |
Psychological factors have always played a decisive role in the assessment of political trends. Yet until recently they have not been analyzed. Now neuroscientists (rather than political scientists) are talking about optimism and pessimism bias. According to their findings, most people tend to see the political glass as at least half full. As Tali Sharot writes in her recent book The Optimism Bias, "A growing body of scientific evidence points to the conclusion that optimism may be hardwired to the human brain." Another school of cognitive scientists sees the main danger in being too much influenced by negative conclusions when faced by ambiguous social and political situations. In the words of a recent issue of American Scientist devoted to the subject of optimism and pessimism, "A negative bias can construct a more hostile worldview than if a person's focus tends to lands of friendly faces."

| Summary/Abstract |
It sounds like something out of a sci-fi horror film - a parasite that feeds on the human brain, with a merciless fatality rate over 95 per cent, and only three known survivors worldwide. The water parasite, known as Naegleria fowleri, has claimed six lives in less than two months this year, four in 2013 and 10 in 2012. But the actual figures in Pakistan could be much higher, given the several cases that go unreported.
