Haag C; Bellinghausen L; Poirier C pubmed id: 39981399

Researchers found three different types of emotional intelligence profiles among French adults and noticed that people who had a strong ability to process emotions did better in life areas like handling stress, work-life balance, and decision-making. The study suggests creating special programs to help people based on their emotional intelligence profile to improve their overall well-being.

Rolland M; Zai AT; Hahnloser RHR; Del Negro C; Giret N pubmed id: 39981385

This research shows that birds can still sing well even if they can't hear, by using visual signals. Scientists used a special task to help deaf birds keep their songs from getting worse, and the birds' songs stayed more stable when a light signal was used. This suggests that birds might not need sound as much as we thought to control their singing.

Liberal U; Rodríguez G; Nogueiras P; Nelson JB; Hall G pubmed id: 39973957

Researchers studied how people learn when they are shown something many times without any consequences.
