The result is a constantly moving, mirage of colors, shapes and patterns. More active brainwaves are associated with more active displays. The idea is that people whose minds are more active just before […]
Scientists used phone accelerometer data to predict personality traits

By correlating physical activity to personality traits, the team determined that “agreeable” people have random activity patterns and are […]
