    Na prática diária da medicina, a trigonometria pode ser utilizada para determinar, por exemplo, a inclinação que devemos dar a uma agulha com o objetivo de atingir o local desejado. A imagem indica a anatomia ultrassônica da veia jugular interna de um paciente. Nessa imagem, H representa a medida do trajeto retilíneo da agulha que incidirá na pele do paciente, A representa a distância, medida na pele retilínea do paciente, entre o ponto de incisão da agulha e o ponto correspondente à projeção ortogonal do alvo a ser atingido sobre a pele, e B representa uma medida que depende da anatomia de cada paciente.

        For a $14.95 monthly membership, the website Lumosity promises to “train” your brain with games designed to stave off mental decline. Users view a quick succession of bird images and numbers to test attention span, for instance, or match increasingly complex tile patterns to challenge memory.

        While Lumosity is perhaps the best known of the brain-game websites, with 50 million subscribers in 180 countries, the cognitive training business is booming. Happy Neuron of Mountain View, Calif., promises “brain fitness for life.” Cogmed, owned by the British education company Pearson, says its training program will give students “improved attention and capacity for learning.” The Israeli firm NeurMuch of the focus of theonix is developing a brain stimulation and cognitive training program that the company calls a “new hope for Alzheimer’s disease.”

        Much of the focus of the brain fitness business has been on helping children with attention-deficit problems, and on improving cognitive function and academic performance in healthy children and adults. An effective way to stave off memory loss or prevent Alzheimer’s — particularly

        The problem, Dr. Doraiswa if it were a simple website or video game — is the “holy grail” of neuroscience, said Dr. Murali Doraiswamy, director of the neurocognitive disorders program at Duke Institute for Brain Sciences. The problem, Dr. Doraiswamy added, is that the science of cognitive training has not kept up with the hype. “Almost all the marketing claims made by all the companies go beyond the data,” he said. “We need large national studies before you can conclude that it’s ready for prime time.”

        For centuries, scientists believed that most brain development occurred in the first few years of life — that by adulthood the brain was largely immutable. But over the past two decades, studies on animals and humans have found that the brain continues to form new neural connections throughout life. But questions remain whether an intervention that challenges the brain — a puzzle, studying a new language or improving skill on a video game — can really raise intelligence or stave off normal memory loss.

        A series of studies in recent years has suggested that certain types of game training can improve a person’s cognitive performance. In February 2013, however, an analysis of 23 of the best studies on brain training, led by the University of Oslo researcher Monica Melby-Lervag, concluded that while players do get better, the increase in skill hasn’t been shown to transfer to other tasks. In other words, playing Sudoku or an online matching game makes you better at the game, but it doesn’t make you better at math or help you remember names or where you left your car keys.

        But other studies have been more encouraging. Last September, the journal Nature published a study by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, that showed a driving game did improve short-term memory and longterm focus in older adults. The findings are significant because the research found that improvements in performance weren’t limited to the game, but also appeared to be linked to a strengthening of older brains over all, helping them to perform better at other memory and attention tasks.

        In addition, brain monitoring during the study showed that in older participants, game training led to bursts in brain waves associated with attention; the patterns were similar to those seen in much younger brains.

        Earlier this year, the National Institutes of Health invited applications to more rigorously test brain fitness training to stave off cognitive decline. Researchers say they hope the effort will help establish a consistent standard for determining whether a brain-training intervention works.

        But while the science remains unclear, entrepreneurs have seized on what is likely to be a sizable marketing opportunity. In May, hundreds of researchers and businesses will gather in San Francisco for the NeuroGaming Conference and Expo to explore the latest research and the newest technology.

        While there is no real risk to participating in the many unproven brain-training games available online and through smartphones, experts say, consumers should know that the scientific jury is still out on whether they are really boosting brain health or just paying hundreds of dollars to get better at a game.

        “I’m not convinced there is a huge difference between buying a $300 subscription to a gaming company versus you yourself doing challenging things on your own, like attending a lecture or learning an instrument,” Dr. Doraiswamy said. “Each person has to personalize for themselves what they find fun and challenging and what they can stick with.”

    Steve Jobs, fundador da Apple, é aquele tipo de líder que marcou tanto a nossa geração que ainda durante muitos anos surgirão novos livros, filmes e histórias sobre passagens marcantes da sua vida que vale a pena conhecermos. Tanto exemplos positivos quanto outros que mostram exatamente o que não devemos fazer em nossas empresas. Mas, por que ele foi tão especial assim? Porque revolucionou nada menos do que seis diferentes mercados: computadores pessoais, filmes de animação, música, telefonia, tablets e publicação digital. Quem mais, em seu tempo, mudou o curso das coisas tão drasticamente ao longo das últimas décadas – ou mesmo séculos atrás? Talvez Leonardo da Vinci e olhe lá. Desde a morte dele, em outubro de 2011, muito se discute de onde vinha a sua incrível capacidade de atrair profissionais supertalentosos e extrair o melhor dessas pessoas, se no dia a dia era visto como intratável por quem o conhecia de perto. Sim, Jobs era aquele tipo de líder que, ao conhecê-lo, logo classificaria você como extraordinário ou imbecil. Sem meio-termo. E um detalhe: para ele, a maior parte das pessoas fazia parte do time dos imbecis. Aliás, daí vem outra dúvida: como alguém assim pode ser considerado um bom exemplo de líder? Especialmente, num momento da história em que o relacionamento líder-liderado é colocado como condição básica para o sucesso de qualquer gestor? O fato é que Jobs compensava a sua falta de tato pessoal com uma incrível capacidade de inspirar todo mundo ao seu redor. Ele sabia despertar significado, senso de propósito, vontade de “chegar lá” ou qualquer outro nome que você dê àquele brilho nos olhos que leva todos nós a mover céus e terra até atingir o objetivo traçado. Ainda que destratados, vários colaboradores diretos conseguiam relevar suas malcriações porque sentiam que trabalhar ao lado dele lhes possibilitava uma chance real de mudarem o mundo. Ter um chefe que falava coisas duras e despropositadas não era motivo suficiente para abandonarem o que sempre sonharam encontrar em suas carreiras. O que estou querendo dizer é que se você consegue inspirar as pessoas que trabalham contigo, elas são capazes de tolerar alguns dos seus “deslizes” porque acreditam na causa e se sentem realizadas por participar de algo grande.
