乙鳥とぶや二度とふたたび来ぬふりに
tsubame tobu ya nido to futa tabi konu furi ni
flying swallows--
as if there's no turning back
for them
translated by David Lanoue
ласточка -
как будто ей
нет пути назад
* оригинал допускает одну или много ласточек.
** ласточка летит...
*** очень интересное наблюдение Иссы. если на секунду увидеть ласточку в полете, то покажется, что она вся устроена по принципу "только вперед". |

New Scientist reports:
Functional MRI scans measure blood flow in the brain. Neuroscientists interpret this as a sign that neurons are firing, usually as someone performs a task or experiences an emotion.
Now, Aniruddha Das from Columbia University in New York and colleagues have shown that blood flow can occur without accompanying neural activity. Das used separate techniques to measure blood flow and neural activity in the visual cortex of two macaques trained to carry out a visual task.
A side note: the first author on the Nature paper is a Russian guy, Yevgeniy Sirotin, but NS attributes the work to Das and colleagues. As usual, Russian scientists in the US don't speak much to reporters.
