🔮 Transcript Why do we get used to everyday things? Well as human beings, we have limited brain power. And so our brains encode the everyday things we do into habits, so we can free up space to learn new things. It’s a process called habituation and it’s one of the most basic ways, as humans, we learn. Now, habituation isn’t always bad. Remember learning to drive? I sure do. Your hands clenched at 10 and 2 on the wheel, looking at every single object out there — the cars, the lights, the pedestrians. It’s a nerve-wracking experience. So much so, that I couldn’t even talk to anyone else in the car and I couldn’t even listen to music. But then something interesting happened. As the weeks went by, driving became easier and easier. You habituated it. It started to become fun and second nature. And then, you could talk to your friends again and listen to music. So there’s a good reason why our brains habituate things. If we didn’t, we’d notice every little detail, all the time. It would be exhausting, and we’d have no time to learn about new things. But sometimes, habituation isn’t good. If it stops us from noticing the problems that are around us, well, that’s bad. And if it stops us from noticing and fixing those problems, well, then that’s really bad. #Retell_Lecture #RL #apeuni_530 @Iran_PTE_House 💪 Together we persevere 💚 ✅ Together we can 🙌

The Céide Fields, a major Neolithic site in northwest Ireland, was discovered in the 1930s by Patrick Caulfield, who noticed stone walls buried under a bog. His son, Seamus, an archaeologist, later mapped the site using iron probes, confirming it as over 5,000 years old and Ireland’s largest Neolithic site. The bog’s acidic, oxygen-poor conditions, fueled by 225 days of annual rain, preserved the settlement well. Neolithic farmers lived in rectangular houses with indoor cooking and used pottery for storage and lighting. The fields were used for rotational grazing to support extended families, but farming ended abruptly due to declining soil fertility from intensive crop rotation and wetter climatic conditions that led to bog formation.

Marie and Colin discuss their projects. Marie is working on a vegan egg alternative using chickpeas, which offers multiple advantages. Colin is focused on reusing waste food, specifically turning stale bread into a paste and using 3D printing to create biscuits with added fruit and vegetables for appeal. He plans to send samples to local restaurants. Marie mentions a company developing touch-sensitive food labels that indicate freshness through texture, initially designed for visually impaired people but potentially useful for other applications, like drug storage or indicating food weight.
