[Music]
what's up rock stars I'm KY wire this is
CNN 10 and today it is your CNN 10
because it's hashy your word Wednesday
remember to keep an ear out to see if
your vocab word helped us write Today's
Show we start right now first with
politics and a major move by the Biden
Administration with fewer than two weeks
left in office President Joe Biden
announced an executive action that
permanently bans future offshore oil and
gas leasing in parts of the Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans that ban means huge areas
of ocean off limits to oil companies
from leasing for new drilling think the
entire East Coast the Eastern Gulf of
Mexico the coasts of Washington Oregon
and California and portions of Alaska's
Northern Bearing Sea to implement the
ban the Biden Administration invoked the
outer continental shelf lands act a law
that gives presidents broad authority to
limit federal waters from future oil and
gas leasing the law however does not
give presidents explicit authority to
revoke bans and place federal waters
back into development so future
presidents like president-elect Donald
Trump would have to get Congress to
change the law first before the ban
could be reversed President Biden touted
the bipartisan support for protecting
coastlines from offshore drilling but
critics in the oil industry say the ban
would severely limit its potential for
future oil and gas exploration in new
areas hurting the industry's long-term
ability to survive energy analysts told
CNN the ban won't make much of a
difference in US oil production which
has only expanded in recent years all
right it's something we joke about all
the time when we say our phones are
listening to us right but could it be
true
Apple has agreed to pay $995 million in
cash to settle a proposed class action
lawsuit mobile device owners claimed
that Apple routinely recorded their
private conversations after they voice
activated Siri by accident and the
conversations were disclosed to third
parties like advertisers in agreeing to
settle Apple denied wrongdoing or
violating users privacy it's an
important concern as technology takes
bigger roles in our everyday lives one
plain if in the class action suit said
he got ads for a brand named surgical
treatment having what he thought was a
private conversation with his doctor the
number of people involved in the class
action suit is estimated in the tens of
millions so folks might end up getting
about $20 per Seri enabled device like
an iPhone or Apple
watch Pop Quiz Hot Shot what band can
claim to be the only one to have
performed on all seven continents The
Beatles Metallica radio head or cold
play Nothing Else Matters if you said
Metallica Ride that lightning if you
didn't sad but true Metallica rocked on
all seven continents yes including
Antarctica all in the same year Fade to
Black now to a story about a company
that's looking to use music as medicine
to treat people with health challenges
we all know music has that ability to
transform our mindset right athletes
know that when that one song hits you
feel like you could run through a brick
wall ultimately music can affect our
bodies too well a company in Toronto
called Lucid is using technology to find
out how some good vibrations might
actually be able to heal us CNN's CLA
Duffy shows us how they're combining
facial mapping software artificial
intelligence and music to create a
treatment for
patients today I'm participating in a
scientific test one that will measure my
brain waves my heart rate and my
cortisol levels the hormone released in
the body in response to stress 64
electrodes that are being fitted to your
cap ysep is applying gel that's going to
help with the conductivity feels weird
oh the the cool gel is a weird feeling
it's all to find out how my body reacts
to
[Music]
Music toronto-based Company Lucid is
conducting the research as they try to
turn music into medicine to treat
anxiety and other mental health
conditions I think we all sort of have
this intuition that music has really
powerful influence over our emotions and
you're a trained musician did you know
when you started this journey that there
was also science to support that I did
not if I'm being honest with you I just
knew how it felt right like as a
musician it's all about the feeling
Aaron leay the company's co-founder says
his own mental health struggles led him
to starting the company a big part of
the mental Health like healing journey
is starting to question like why do I
feel this way why am I experiencing
these symptoms and then for me that led
to like why is music helping so they
began developing therapeutic products
that combined artificial intelligence
facial recognition and music there's so
many different factors and data points
and everyone's reaction is different I
have friends uh who you know make a
almost like a disgust looking face when
when the right music is on like stank
face phenomenon that's exactly what I
thought stank face and then there's like
people who just like you know like laugh
and and and sing and and all these other
[Music]
things their current product resonance
RX uses facial mapping software to
determine how patients are responding to
recognizable songs and then uses AI to
develop what they hope will be the
perfect individualized playlist to help
relieve agitation and stress among
people dealing with memory loss
disorders how did you decide on
Alzheimer's and Dementia patients as the
first population that you were focused
on serving you go to hospice or you go
to long-term care or You' go to
retirement communities and they'd have
musicians come in right they'd have
music therapists on staff like everybody
loved music you know we're looking at a
modality that's generally safe right uh
the side effects are dancing right and
so we had to look in our study and go
okay how could we control for whether or
not people are falling when they're
dancing oh you're working with elderly
population we joke about it and we laugh
and everybody else so it's like it's
still still a risk yeah but that's kind
of it the treatment is only available to
be administered by licensed mental
health clinicians but based on the
success of residents Lucid is now
exploring how to apply Ai and music to
improve mental health care for other
populations like young adults we're
seeing the signature of a relaxation
response in the heart we're also seeing
it in the some of the brain waves that
you see below we're getting slower waves
than what I see what we saw at the
beginning replacement of medication is
is not something that we're necessarily
advocating for instead of us just saying
well here's your meds go home now we've
got this experiential thing that is
helping them right while uh they're also
getting the other elements of their
[Applause]
care today's story getting a 10 out of
10 rats that not only can drive they
prefer to drive as they go and Chase
that cheese a study at the University of
Richmond is finding that these rodents
during lab studies aren't Corban behind
the wheel they're actually really good
at drivers our Henry zeris gives us a
squeak peek at this rically cool lab
Discovery this is the moment a rat
presses the lever in its tiny car
driving towards a tasty
treat a developing study which began
over 5 years ago at the University of
Richmond has just revealed that rats can
not only be trained to drive but also
seem to enjoy it so we so we had these
indications that they enjoyed driving
because they would jump in the car and
rev the engine but another little
preliminary uh test that we did last
summer was uh allowing the animals to
either walk or drive to the Froot Loop
tree where they get their Froot Loops
day after day week after week um they
would see the car run to the car jump
into the car and drive so they went out
of their way to drive it suggest that
they prefer the driving over walking
Kelly and her team observed that human
neurons are similar to rats neurons
meaning we can learn a lot about
ourselves by studying rodent models
anticipation I think that's a critical
kind of component of our brain lives and
and I think that's has some profound
lessons especially as we're living in
this world of immediate gratification
the experiment opens up several avenues
for further exploration such as testing
if Rats show competitiveness when racing
against each other and if this model can
be replicated in other animals any
animal that can make an association
between a reward and engage in in a a
Behavior Uh to activate the vehicle can
can learn this those things might end up
taking the term Rat Race to a whole new
level thanks to all of you for
