>>>Ig Nobel 2013: Clapping hands is a crime of winning a peace prize
At the hall of Harvard University (USA), Ig Nobel for the 24th time this year continues the tradition of awarding scientific achievements according to the criteria "first make people laugh, then make them think".
Many scientists feel extremely excited at the Ig Nobel ceremony - the "fake" award to the prestigious Nobel Prize. This award ceremony is identical to Nobel, honoring the achievements in all fields of science and research. The only difference is, Ig Nobel is inclined to humorous findings, which are surprisingly . bullshit.
Here are 10 Ig Nobel prizes to be awarded in 2014.
Ig Nobel Neurology: explains why so many people see Jesus on toast
This prize was awarded to a group of Chinese scientists published in Cortex in April 2014. Accordingly, they have taken fRMI of the volunteers' brains when viewing different faces.
The results prove that: people tend to look according to expectations, meaning that we will see what we want to see. When we see an unclear shape, the brain stimulates the activity of a particular neurological region, allowing us to imagine what we want to see. That's why so many people think they see Jesus or Mary on . toast.
Ig Nobel Psychology: night owl tends to like . take a selfie
The Ig Nobel prize of this category was awarded to Peter K.Jonason, Amy Jones and Minna Lyons for finding a special personality trait of night owls.
Accordingly, in their study published in 2013 on Personality and Individual Differences, people who stay up late tend to be more psychotic than those who like to wake up early. In addition, they often admire themselves and always love themselves more than those who wake up early.
Ig Nobel Public Health: raising cats is very dangerous
In the Public Health category, Jaroslav Flegr, Jan Havlicek and colleagues are awarded the Ig Nobel prize for their research into the harmful effects of cat keeping. This work was published in 2013 in the online journal PLOS ONE.
Accordingly, the researchers found that being bitten by cats can cause depression in humans. In addition, cat fur contains a terrifying parasite called Toxoplasma gondii. If infected with this parasite, they will invade the brain and cause changes in the host's nerve center, leading to mental disorders and other conditions.
Ig Nobel Biology: Detecting dogs 'solving sadness' according to Earth's magnetic field
Vlastimil Hart, Petra Novakova and colleagues have been honored in the Ig Nobel biology category after discovering an extremely strange act only seen in dogs. Specifically, this species when 'resolving sadness' often faces the North Pole and turns its third round to the South Pole in accordance with the axis of the Earth's magnetic field.
This finding was verified after experts tested over 37 different breeds of dogs. As a result, 100% have such habits. However, until now, no scientist has yet to explain the mechanism to help dogs recognize the direction of school to . go to the toilet properly.
Ig Nobel Art: Seeing an ugly picture makes people . hurt
Marina de Tommaso, Michele Sardaro and her colleagues received the Ig Nobel prize in the field of art with proving ugly art that can hurt people.
In their study, experts conducted a measure of the pain of the volunteers when they lasered their hands while looking at different pictures. After the experiment, they realized that the volunteers felt pain when looking at ugly works compared to beautiful works.
Ig Nobel Physics: invented on banana peel
The Ig Nobel Physics Prize belongs to the group of Japanese experts Kiyoshi Mabuchi, Kensei Tanaka, Daichi Uchijima and Rina Sakai. Their award-winning research was published in Tribology in 2012.
Accordingly, the expert group conducted a trial to place 12 different banana peels on the floor and then put volunteers on shoes on that surface. After the experiment, they calculated and obtained the result: friction between the shoe and banana peel is only 20% compared to the friction between the shoe and the normal floor.
With the above results, the expert team likened the 'banana peel' floor to similar snow surface with very small friction coefficient. In the future, this study may open up a new technology for producing surface materials.
Ig Nobel Economics: the idea of developing the economy from the recovery of business capital
Honored Italian scientists in the Ig Nobel category of economics in creativity to boost the economy of European Union countries.
Accordingly, this idea is implemented by recovering business capital from prostitution, drug trafficking, smuggling or other illegal financial transactions.
Ig Nobel Health: Use pork to stop nosebleeds
The group of scientists from the United States and India was awarded the Ig Nobel Prize for Medicine for discovering the use of pork to prevent nosebleeds.
Accordingly, experts found that pork has a good effect on controlling and preventing orange blood from flowing out.
To draw this result, experts have experimented with a 4-year-old boy who suffered from nosebleeds. And of course, small pieces of pork rolled into the nose have reduced this phenomenon.
Ig Nobel Arctic Science: experimenting with reindeer reacting to humans when disguised as polar bears
With the idea of experimenting with the reindeer interaction with humans when disguised as polar bears, two scientists Eigil Reimers and Sindre Eftestol were honored in the Arctic Science category.
After disguising themselves as polar bears, experts have found that even polar bears eat meat of their own species.
Ig Nobel Nutrition: using microorganisms from infant's feces to make sausages
Scientist Raquel Rubio, Anna Jofra, Belen Martin, Teresa Aymerich and Margarita Garriga have been honored with the study of the use of microorganisms in infants' feces from 6 to 6 months to produce sausage bars.
Accordingly, experts believe that Lactobacillus gasseri and Enterococcus faecalis play an important role in fermentation of many foods, especially sausages. They work to increase the flavor, color and safety of sausages. Therefore, we should not waste a valuable, meaningful resource in such food processing.
