A qualitative study investigating the dreams of Israelis following the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks revealed that the traumatic events significantly influenced the content of participants’ dreams. This suggests a possible disruption of the psychological mechanisms typically used for coping with stress. The findings were published in the journal Death Studies. On October 7, 2023, Hamas, the militant and political organization governing the Gaza Strip at the time, launched a surprise attack on Israel. Over the course of one day, more than 1,200 Israelis were killed, hundreds were wounded, and a...

Have you ever dreamt of speaking with your future self who has lived to the age of 60? A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US might give you the closest possible way to experience that. To do so, they use artificial intelligence (AI) to mimic a natural-sounding conversation. They used the popular model GPT-3.5 developed by the company OpenAI and asked study participants a series of questions about their lives, their past experiences, and their aspirations. The system then created “a backstory of the user” which the study authors also called “a synt...

A recent study published in Scientific Reports has found that floatation therapy significantly enhances relaxation, reduces anxiety, and diminishes fatigue more effectively than resting on a warm waterbed. It also induces more pronounced altered states of consciousness, characterized by the dissolution of body boundaries and the distortion of subjective time, offering insights into how floatation therapy exerts its calming effects. Floatation-Reduced Environmental Stimulation Therapy (Floatation-REST) involves floating in a tank filled with water saturated with Epsom salt, heated to skin tempe...

Should social media come with a warning? A top US health official suggested this week that platforms should have warnings similar to those on tobacco packaging. “The mental health crisis among young people is an emergency - and social media has emerged as an important contributor,” Dr Vivek Murthy, the US surgeon general or leading spokesperson on matters of public health, wrote in an editorial published in the New York Times. He also called on curbing the use of features that contribute to excessive use such as push notifications, autoplay, and infinite scroll. But could this actually help pe...

A recent study published in Nutritional Neuroscience has shed light on the potential connection between diet quality and mental health. The study found that individuals with high adherence to a Mediterranean diet had altered brain chemistry and structure compared to those with low adherence, hinting at beneficial changes. The researchers aimed to address a significant gap in understanding how diet influences mental health. While preclinical studies have established a link between dietary patterns and brain chemistry, these findings need to be confirmed in human studies. Common mental disorders...
