Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Let the toilet identify the user's chrysanthemum pattern.

Count the nose hairs of the body.

Resurrect the dead spider and turn it into a zombie doll catcher. Listen to these studies, one by one is more outrageous, and they are this year's Ig Nobel Prize-winning research.

A few days ago, this year's Ig Nobel Prize (Ig Nobel Prize), held online again, honors "research that makes people laugh and then makes people think".

As in previous years, each winner will receive a prize of 10 trillion, except for Zimbabwean dollars and a commemorative trophy.

Crazy Maru screened out some interesting winners. Let's take a look.

The public health award goes to a smart toilet that Mad Maru talked about earlier, which has an outrageous function, which is to recognize the user's anal lines.

In this way, the identity of the defecator can be confirmed, and a series of health conditions can be monitored and analyzed.

In the past, I used to play with facial recognition when I was playing with my mobile phone, but now I didn't expect that even poop can be recognized by Chrysanthemum.

In fact, the key function of this toilet is to check the health.

So equipped with cameras and sensors, can collect fecal and urine information, and then analyze, can monitor heart health, blood pressure, fecal urine samples and so on. It's just that the concept of scanning buttocks sounds pretty special.

The Chemistry and Geology Award goes to an interesting study: "Why do many scientists like to lick stones?"

The main reason is that some scientists need to test whether a rock is an ordinary stone or a fossil, which is said to be more sticky to the touch. The person who did this study is himself a paleontologist who not only has a wealth of practical experience, but also tells the history of "licking stones".

Literature Prize when you repeat a word many times, temporary forgetfulness may occur.

The researchers experimented with some student volunteers and asked them to repeat the same word and told them to stop if they felt strange. 2/3 of the participants began to feel wrong after 30 times, and they found that the more they focused on a word, the more they felt unfamiliar with it. Or it doesn't feel like a word, but a string of letters.

Researchers at Rice University, the Mechanical Engineering Award, launched a "Dead Spirit Robot", Necrobotics. Simply put, they turned a dead tarantula into a grasping tool:

The researchers found that postmortem tarantulas curled up, so they tried to pressurize the body's legs and found that, like the "necromancer", they could manipulate the body movements of tarantulas and complete certain grasping movements. a dead spider can be scratched about 1000 times.

It seems that what can bring dead spiders back to life is not magic, but science. We have talked about this study before, so we can review it here.

The Nutrition Award went to a design we talked about earlier, the Japanese "electric chopsticks".

To put it simply, it is to stimulate yourself with electricity through tableware to form a unique taste experience. When dry rice, this sense of taste enhancement can bring more obvious salty taste, and even fresh and sour taste.

Before the crazy pill also introduced the "licking screen" device and other strange design, you can poke here to review.

The feeling of boredom in education awards can be contagious.

The researchers asked 437 students and 17 teachers to conduct an experimental survey, asking them to keep a diary for two weeks to record the boredom of each day's class, and the students also assessed whether the teacher was bored.

It turns out that if the teacher thinks the course is boring, it will make the students feel bored. At the same time, if the students are preconceived and mistakenly think that the teacher's mood is boring, it will also affect the students' own enthusiasm in the classroom. However, it feels that more research is needed to confirm this kind of psychological activity.

Psychology Award do you like to take part in the fun? To put it simply, if you see a group of people looking up, will you also look up curiously.

Researchers have previously conducted experiments on 1425 passers-by and found that the more people around them look up, the more likely they are to follow. When 15 people on the roadside looked up at the same time, 40% of the passers-by would stop and look up together. When only one person looked up by the side of the road, only 4% of passers-by stopped to look up.

This kind of experiment will change the results due to environmental factors, such as the design of something more attractive at the top, and people are more likely to stop.

To calculate the average number of human nasal hairs, the Medical Prize researchers examined 20 corpses and found that the average number of nasal hairs per nostril was between 120 and 122.

The thought of checking the number of nose hairs on a dead body is even more frightening than a horror movie.

In short, although I don't know what's the use, there are more strange knowledge at this time of year, and I'm already looking forward to next year.
