Dr Susan Persky, How Virtual Reality Is Changing Medicine Smithsonian Associates, Interview Series Virtual reality has rapidly moved beyond the gaming world—and into the world of medicine. The ability to simulate experiences expands opportunities for doctors, biomedical researchers, clinicians, and patients in ways previously unattainable. Virtual reality is capable of making people feel as if they have traveled to another place, visualize things that can't exist in reality, and can be used to improve health care. Today's show discusses the cutting-edge science and technology of this emerging area of medicine with Susan Persky, director of the Immersive Virtual Environment Testing Area at the National Human Genome Research Institute, National Institutes of Health. Persky, a recognized expert in virtual reality's applications in biomedical research with and for patients, in medical education, and in clinical environments. She explains promising and diverse applications of virtual reality, such as in treatment for PTSD and phobia desensitization; rehabilitation for brain injury; patient assessment and training in conditions like autism; and practical training on complex procedures and difficult clinical conversations for medical students. Persky also covers NIH research into communication and decision-making in patients as they react to simulations of environments that might trigger healthy or unhealthy behaviors. Although virtual reality can seem like something out of science fiction, the possibilities are virtually limitless in its applications to medicine and health care.

"Their Finest" Movie Review, Interviews & "Dunkirk" Movie Comparison I watched 2 movies this weekend. "Their Finest," from BBC films. I wasn't sure why I hadn't heard of Their Finest. Probably because it never actually got an American release, and even its UK release came two years after it acquired distribution. But its cast is everything good in the world: Gemma Arterton and Bill Nighy, who'll join us in a bit, via SKYPE. "Their Finest," is really a 'movie within a movie,' about an aging British matinee idol who thinks he's been given too small a role as the uncle of twin sisters. An American who's supposed to play a hero is as dull as a stick. But a young woman in the script department has an idea that might make the formula work for a wartime British drama that's supposed to lift spirits at home and warm hearts across the ocean. The wartime drama is centered around the role the twins play in rescuing soldiers from Dunkirk. Talk About Better™ The Not Old Better Show on Radio & Podcast! Hosted by Ausha.

Adding Acoustic Ceiling Tiles to my Home Video Production... So important, and So Easy...1, 2, 3, DONE One of the biggest issues when recording audio at a home studio is extraneous noise, and when we begin our recording careers, we often grossly underestimate the importance of room acoustics… And we assume, at least I did, that just because we have a nice condenser mic and expensive studio monitors, great sound comes automatically. But the truth is…the acoustics of your room have more-to-do with sound quality… Than perhaps anything else your studio….anything. So rather than face months of frustration trying to figure out what you're doing wrong…you might as well get this stuff handled right now. Which is why in this post, I will walk you step by step through the entire process of designing an effective acoustic tile design, drop creation, and sound dampening, in my DIY "sound and noise destroys!"
