Do you want to have a superpower? Of course, people still can't change their size, walk through walls, or teleport, since it contradicts the laws of physics. But there are some other superpowers that are available nowadays for the right price!

SUMMARY: Infrasound is basically acoustic waves of extremely low frequencies. These waves are below the human hearing threshold, so we can't really hear them. Technicians at Japan's Tsukuba University have already created a special exoskeleton suit called the HAL 5. It's 9 feet tall and weighs almost 90 pounds. Dr. Liming Dai from the University of Dayton and Dr. Zhong Lin Wang from the Georgia Institute of Technology invented a super “sticky” material! It has a nanotube spatula design that's based on microscopic hairs. This means that you can cling to any surface of your choice. There's an absolutely real and very rare disease called Congenital Insensitivity to Pain. A person with this condition never experiences physical pain. Modern technology allows you to use advanced night vision devices. They used to be super expensive and only available for the military and special agencies. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (aka DARPA) is developing an implant that hooks directly to a person's nervous system. It'll treat depression without the help of medication, look after internal organs, and treat them when necessary. There's an exoskeleton that helps people run long distances faster than even the best sprinter. With the use of a particular material, Canadian scientists decided to alter light waves to pass through an object. This has already given a pretty impressive result but only if an object is illuminated with one color. One Australian company has already created the Martin Jetpack. This device can develop a speed of 45 miles per hour and travel at an altitude of 3,300 feet. One company in Columbia makes bulletproof clothing! This enterprise is already 25 years old and is now conquering the American market. Exoskeletons come in a wide variety these days. One of them, the FORTIS, can help workers by holding up to 36 pounds of tools.

What philosophical lessons can we draw from the action movie Road House? In this episode, Megan and Frank do philosophy alongside Patrick Swayze's legendary character Dalton, examining the nature of pain, the limits of pacifism, and whether one can find the meaning of life while being a bouncer.Footnotes: 1) Road House is NOT a family friendly movie. 2) Prior viewing of Road House is not required for listening.

After a long hiatus, Dr. Matt Brodhead returns to Behavioral Observations. In this episode, we discuss the use of punishment in the context of creating effective, ethical behavioral interventions. Of course, pursuant to the Behavior Analysis Certification Board's Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts, punishment should only be considered, "only after demonstrating that desired results have not been obtained using less intrusive means, or when it is determined by an existing intervention team that the risk of harm to the client outweighs the risk associated with the behavior-change intervention" (Code Element 2.15, page 12). So Matt and I talked about what this means in practice, the role of coercive or aversive events in everyday life, weighing the pros and cons of treatment choices, and much more. As we state in the first few minutes of the show, we made the editorial decision not to discuss the ABAI Task Force report on Contingent Electric Skin Shock. It's not that we don't have opinions on this topic; rest assured, we certainly do. But we felt like it would be more helpful for practitioners to hear Matt's thoughts on things like response cost, time-out, and so forth, as these are procedures that are more likely to be used by "everyday" practitioners. We also meandered into a few other topics, like the necessity of teaching cooperation and compliance under certain stimulus conditions, the utility or role of descriptive assessments vs. analog functional analyses, as well as other digressions. On a stylistic note, because Matt and I have gotten to know each other pretty well, this is an even more conversational episode that usual (versus one that is a series of questions and answers), with the attendant joking around that we usually engage in. If you're interested in Matt's work, go over to his website, betteraba.com, and pick up a copy of his excellent workbook, Behavioral Systems Analysis and Ethical Behavior. It's a bargain at $25 bucks... and remember, the holidays are right around the corner Matt is also available for workshops and consultations, and you can reach him through the same website. And while I'm plugging Matt's stuff, the popular text book he co-authored with Drs. David Cox and Shawn Quigley, is out in its second edition (disclosure: Amazon Associates Link).

Abstract: Prdm12 is as a key transcription factor in nociceptor neurogenesis. Mutations of Prdm12 cause Congenital Insensitivity to Pain (CIP) due to failure of nociceptor development. However, precisely how deletion of Prdm12 during development or adulthood affects nociception is unknown. Here, we employ tissue- and temporal-specific knockout mouse models to test the function of Prdm12 during development and in adulthood. We find that constitutive loss of Prdm12 causes deficiencies in proliferation during sensory neurogenesis. We also demonstrate that conditional knockout from dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) during embryogenesis causes defects in nociception. In contrast, we find that in adult DRGs, Prdm12 is dispensable for pain sensation and injury-induced hypersensitivity. Using transcriptomic analysis, we found unique changes in adult Prdm12 knockout DRGs compared to embryonic knockout, and that PRDM12 is likely a transcriptional activator in the adult. Overall, we find that the function of PRDM12 changes over developmental time. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info

What if you could feel no pain? At first you may think that may be great. There is a real disease called Congenital Insensitivity to Pain with Anhydrosis. People with this disorder can’t feel severe pain and they can’t regulate their body temperature by sweating. They can die from a severe injury that they don’t even realize they have. So maybe it’s on so great to feel no pain after all. uB why is there any pain at all? How could God allow the pain and suffering that we see around us? Today on Educate For Life, Kevin dives deep into the topic of pain and suffering. You will learn some of the reason why suffering exists. Tune in for a great episode.
