Researchers at the California Institute of Technology say they have achieved “significant” results in tech advancement that basically can read people’s minds. For years, CalTech has been working to create devices to aid patients with speech and non-verbal disorders. And a new study showed strides in a brain-machine interface to read a person’s thoughts and translate them into words for all to see. Signals read from the brain were converted “into text in real time.” The team wrote that it can capture “neural activity associated with internal speech — words said within the mind with no associated movement or audio output.”

Pat Sajak is gearing up for his final week on “Wheel of Fortune” following a 43-year run as host. And the 77-year-old is giving fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the game show set. In a video posted to Instagram ahead of his last episode, set to air this Friday, he takes viewers “behind the puzzle board.”, where, as he put it, “It looks like an election headquarters back here, with all these screens and everything.” In the clip, filmed by his daughter, Maggie, he cheekily adds: “We can’t show a lot, because there’s certain things that are highly classified!” LINK: https://tinyurl.com/y7ey2jwj

Scientists have long known that crows are smart. But a new study suggests they even have the ability to count — out loud. That’s a first for an animal species other than humans, Live Science reports. The scientists rank the out-loud counting ability of crows to be about on par with human toddlers. Researchers worked with 3 crows and found they could reliably count to 4 with their caws, though they add the birds could likely go higher if needed.

It seems Vulcan is not a real planet after all. In a plot-twist worthy of the iconic sci-fi show “Star Trek”, the planet thought to orbit the star 40 Eridani A – the fictional home of ‘Mr. Spock’s’ planet Vulcan – appears to be nothing more than an astronomical illusion. A new study using NASA’s NEID instrument has confirmed that the planet astronomers believed they discovered in 2018 in this distant star system — is just a mirage caused by the star’s own pulses and jitters. The possible detection of a planet orbiting the star made famous by Star Trek caused excitement when astronomers revealed their findings 6 years ago. But now, NASA’s precision instruments seem to have returned the planet Vulcan to the realm of science fiction for good.

IS THIS GETTY – OR SPARSE?
As you know, trying to keep up with today’s slang can be difficult. Terms like “rizz”, “bussin,” and “do it for the plot” could sound like a bunch of made-up words to someone outside a certain demographic. So, in an effort at pranking his students, a teacher made up a bunch of slang words and shared them with his Gen Z students – and now, some of them are catching on. Sam Salem, a millennial high school teacher, started a series on his Instagram page called “Gaslighting my students with made up slang words.” So far, he has posted 7 videos, introducing invented words like “pebbles,” “parked,” and “Getty.” His first vid got over 765,000 likes, 9,000 comments, and 383,000 shares. And although it began as a joke, some of his “new vernacular” is becoming popular outside the Los Angeles schools where he teaches. Even NBA star Bradley Beal used “pebbles” — which means “easy” — during a press conference. Here’s the full list of Salem’s fake slang – coming to a Gen Z mouth near you soon…

• Sparse: Not cool

• Remy: It shouldn’t go together, but it does
• Rug: You don’t believe it. Derived from the word struggling
• Costco: Built differently or has everything
• Jar: If someone is saying something embarrassing or a secret
• Scroll: If someone is talking about something you are uninterested in or don’t want to talk about
