Rapat yang bosan bikin kecerdasan menurun

Jakarta,
Beberapa orang sering tertidur saat mengikuti rapat yang membosankan. Pada kondisi tertentu, mungkin memang lebih baik tertidur saat rapat sebab suasana yang membosankan benar-benar bisa menurunkan tingkat kecerdasan seorang karyawan.

Menurut sebuah penelitian di Virginia Tech, mengikuti rapat maupun bekerja dalam sebuah tim besar bisa membuat kemampuan berpikir seorang karyawan menurun. Bukan semata-mata karena bosan, namun ada sebagian sel-sel otak yang memang mengalami kerusakan.

Meski efek ini bisa terjadi pada semua karyawan, namun penurunan tingkat kecerdasan lebih teramati pada perempuan daripada laki-laki. Diduga, kecenderungan ini dipengaruhi oleh sifat perempuan yang secara naluriah lebih peduli pada pergaulan sosial.

Pengamatan terhadap 13 relawan perempuan menunjukkan, hanya 3 relawan yang tetap bisa berpikir dengan jernih dan tajam saat rapat. Sisanya sebanyak 10 relawan mengalami peningkatan aktivitas otak pada pusat emosi dan kegelisahan, sehingga aktivitas pada bagian otak untuk berpikir malah menurun.

Peningkatan aktivitas otak di bagian pusat emosi dan kegelisahan terjadi karena ada pengalihan energi. Dari yang semula untuk berpikir, energi yang ada dialihkan untuk bergaul atau menjalin interaksi sosial dengan rekan satu kelompok yang sedang mengikuti rapat.

"Hasil penelitian kami menunjukkan adanya konsekuensi yang dramatis dan tak terbayangkan dari sinyal-sinyal sosial terhadap masing-masing individu," kata salah seorang peneliti, Read Montague seperti dikutip dari Dailymail, Selasa (8/2/2012).

Penurunan fungsi otak saat mengikuti rapat hanya terjadi di bagian pusat kecerdasan atau intelejensia. Sementara di bagian pusat emosi, tidak terjadi perubahan yang berarti sebab kadangkala rapat yang mebosankan hanya butuh kemampuan berinteraksi dan tidak benar-benar butuh berpikir.

The Difference Between LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Home Edition (#31313) and LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 (#45544)

http://robotsquare.com/2013/11/25/difference-between-ev3-home-edition-and-education-ev3/ This article covers the difference between the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Home Edition and LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 products. Other articles in the ‘difference between’ series: * The difference and compatibility between EV3 and NXT ( link ) * The difference between NXT Home Edition and NXT Education products ( link ) One robotics platform, two targets The LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 robotics platform has been developed for two different target audiences. We have home users (children and hobbyists) and educational users (students and teachers). LEGO has designed a base set for each group, as well as several add on sets. There isn’t a clear line between home users and educational users, though. It’s fine to use the Education set at home, and it’s fine to use the Home Edition set at school. This article aims to clarify the differences between the two product lines so you can decide which

Logic Analyzer with STM32 Boards

https://sysprogs.com/w/how-we-turned-8-popular-stm32-boards-into-powerful-logic-analyzers/ How We Turned 8 Popular STM32 Boards into Powerful Logic Analyzers March 23, 2017 Ivan Shcherbakov The idea of making a “soft logic analyzer” that will run on top of popular prototyping boards has been crossing my mind since we first got acquainted with the STM32 Discovery and Nucleo boards. The STM32 GPIO is blazingly fast and the built-in DMA controller looks powerful enough to handle high bandwidths. So having that in mind, we spent several months perfecting both software and firmware side and here is what we got in the end. Capturing the signals The main challenge when using a microcontroller like STM32 as a core of a logic analyzer is dealing with sampling irregularities. Unlike FPGA-based analyzers, the microcontroller has to share the same resources to load instructions from memory, read/write the program state and capture the external inputs from the G
