EM pulses emanated from device above

Delta Waves (0.5-4 Hz): These are the slowest and highest amplitude brainwaves, associated with deep, restorative sleep (stages 3 and 4 of NREM sleep).

Theta Waves (4-8 Hz): These waves are present during light sleep (stage 1) and drowsiness, and are also linked to memory consolidation and emotional processing.

Alpha Waves (8-13 Hz): These waves are characteristic of a relaxed, awake state, with eyes closed, and are also seen in the early stages of sleep.

Beta Waves (13-30 Hz): While not as prominent during sleep, beta waves are associated with wakefulness, alertness, and active thought processing.

Gamma Waves (30+ Hz): These are the fastest brainwaves and are associated with heightened cognitive activity and consciousness.

Isaac Asimov Laws of Robotics

1 A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

2 A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

3 A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

4 A robot may not harm a human being, unless he finds a way to prove that ultimately the harm done would benefit humanity in general

5 A robot may not harm sentience or, through inaction, allow sentience to come to harm.

6 All robots endowed with comparable human reason and conscience should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

Robots are multi-use tools. Robots should not be designed solely or primarily to kill or harm humans, except in the interests of national security.

Humans, not Robots, are responsible agents. Robots should be designed and operated as far as practicable to comply with existing laws, fundamental rights and freedoms, including privacy.

Robots are products. They should be designed using processes which assure their safety and security.

Robots are manufactured artefacts. They should not be designed in a deceptive way to exploit vulnerable users; instead their machine nature should be transparent.

The person with legal responsibility for a robot should be attributed.

The Diatom EST Database

https://www.diatomics.bio.ens.psl.eu/EST3/

"Diatoms are eukaryotic, photosynthetic microorganisms found throughout marine and freshwater ecosystems that are responsible for around 20% of global primary productivity. A defining feature of diatoms is their ornately patterned silicified cell wall (known as frustule), which display species-specific nanoscale-structures. These organisms therefore play major roles in global carbon and silicon cycles.

The whole genome sequencing of the marine pennate diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum has been recently performed by the Joint Genome Institute (Walnut Creek, CA, USA) (http://genome.jgi-psf.org/Phatr2/Phatr2.home.html). Although not considered to be of great ecological significance, P. tricornutum has been found in several locations around the world, typically in coastal areas with wide fluctutations in salinity. Unlike other diatoms it can exist in different morphotypes, and changes in cell shape can be stimulated by environmental conditions. This feature can be used to explore the molecular basis of cell shape control and morphogenesis. Furthermore the species can grow in the absence of silicon, and the biogenesis of silicified frustules is facultative, thereby providing opportunities for experimental exploration of silicon-based nanofabrication in diatoms. P. tricornutum has been used in laboratory-based studies of diatom physiology for several decades, and it is currently the only diatom that can routinely be genetically transformed.

In a joint project with Genoscope (Evry, France) we have generated approximately 90,000 ESTs from P. tricornutum cells grown in a range of conditions. Here we present a database of these sequences, that can be used for digital gene expression studies to explore this organismes responses to a range of environmental conditions. Such studies should provide a foundation for interpreting the ecological success of diatoms."
