Alien superbugs and space spiders are the subjects of two student-designed science experiments due to launch toward the International Space Station today (July 20) aboard a robotic Japanese spacecraft.
Professors Roger Buehler from Simon Fraser University and colleagues designed a series of experiments to see if he could help people to improve their planning ability.
FORBES: People always finish projects behind schedule and over budget - but here is some help
In earlier experiments, designed to replicate normal learning, Dr Tononi found that the part of the brain showing most slow-wave activity during sleep was the same as the part that had been activated during the experiment.
The experiments had been designed with enough variations to avoid false associations - such as dogs beginning to associate sudden darkness with someone giving them food, researchers said.
The Third Era began in earnest in 1981, with the launch of the first Space Shuttle, Columbia, a mostly reusable workhorse designed to ferry astronauts, research experiments, satellites and equipment into Earth orbit.

The UNESCO Global Microscience Experiments Project aims to provide a practical approach to experiencing science for elementary and secondary school students (and in some countries, students in their first academic year), using kits designed especially with a textbook illustrating the various experiments.
Designed as entertainment for their friends, these larky experiments commanded the same respect from the art market then that they do now: almost none.
So, like Roosevelt, he juggles and experiments in a spate of government intervention and stimuli designed to restore confidence, save Wall Street from itself and to create jobs.
More than 600 experiments conducted in orbit aboard this amazing laboratory have contributed to important research designed to improve the quality of life for everyone.
The X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle is led by the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office, and is designed to demonstrate reusable spacecraft technologies for America's future in space and operating experiments which can be returned to, and examined, on Earth.
