Utilities everywhere are working now on maximizing efficiencies in their production and distribution infrastructures well into the future. They are rapidly planning and deploying networks to transform yesterday’s disjointed power distribution grid into tomorrow’s Smart Grid, potentially producing enormous gains in energy efficiency, resource conversation and environmental protection.
 

Telvent has the insight and expertise needed to turn the promise of the Smart Grid into reality for utilities. The key to the Smart Grid will be powerful software solutions that convert raw data gathered from countless points on the grid into centralized business intelligence that can then be shared and distributed across the enterprise.

For several years now, science has been studying in-depth matters such as happiness, motivation, creativity, personal relationships and the making of decisions. And one of the experts in disseminating the latest findings on what really matters to us is Richard Wiseman, Psychologist at the University of Hertfordshire and author of ‘Quirkology: How We Discover the Big Truths in Small Things‘ and ‘59 Seconds: Think a Little, Change a Lot‘, who shared his knowledge and magic with Eduardo Punset.

We usually think that stress is something bad, but “without it we wouldn’t be alive”, says the Canadian Neuroscientist Sonia Lupien, founder of the Centre for Studies on Human Stress at the Douglas Hospital in Montreal, Canada. It arose as a mechanism to survive in extreme situations and today, with a very different environment to that of our forefathers, it continues to play an important role.

Apart from being an omnipresent topic in western societies, stress is a physiological reaction caused by the perception of adverse or threatening situations. Throughout the evolution of our species – and of many other animals – stress reactions have helped us to survive.

Thanks to stress, our muscles gained extra strength to flee the lion and our brain had help to remember the cave where our predator was hiding. But our cites have little to do with the African savannah, and in our civilised world, stress has negative consequences.

Do more neurones die when we are stressed? Are our memory and learning affected by stress? What strategies can we put into practice to tackle it? Redes had the pleasure of interviewing Sonia Lupien, Professor of Psychiatry at the Université de Montréal, Canada.

Would you refuse to put on the jacket of a serial killer? Would you attribute inexplicable phenomena to some superior force? Redes analyses the origin of our beliefs on the supernatural. Eduardo Punset interviews Bruce Hood, Director of the Bristol Cognitive Development Centre in the Experimental Psychology Department at the University of Bristol and author of the book ‘SuperSense: Why We Believe in the Unbelievable‘, whose studies seek to clarify, at the hand of neuroscience, why we are so credulous.
