Uphononongo ngoku olupapashwe nguNxibelelwano lweNdalo lubonisa imiphumo yokusetyenziswa ngokugqithiseleyo kwenkqubo yokuhamba (GPS) ngelixa uqhuba.
Kule mihla akukho moto ingezi ixhotyiswe nge-GPS navigation system, inkqubo ekhoyo ngoku nayo nayiphi na i-smartphone. Ngoko ke, kungokwemvelo ukuba abaqhubi basebenzise esi sixhobo ngakumbi nangakumbi. Kodwa iGPS ayizisi nje iingenelo.Ukuzama ukufumanisa ukuba ithini imiphumo yokusebenzisa iGPS ebuchotsheni bethu, abaphandi kwiYunivesithi yaseLondon yaseLondon bagqibe ekubeni benze ulingo. Iqela lamatsha-ntliziyo laligubungela (phantse) iindlela ezilishumi kwizitrato zaseSoho, eLondon, apho amahlanu kuwo ayenoncedo lweGPS. Ngethuba lokuzilolonga, umsebenzi wengqondo ulinganiswa usebenzisa umatshini we-MRI.
I-CHRONICLE: Kwaye nawe, ngaba nawe uqhuba ukuwohloka?
Imiphumo yaba mihle. Xa ivolontiya yangena kwisitalato esingaqhelekanga kwaye yaphoqeleka ukuba ithathe isigqibo sokuba iya kuphi, inkqubo irekhoda i-spikes kumsebenzi wobuchopho kwi-hippocampus, ummandla wengqondo ohambelana nomqondo wokuqhelanisa, kunye ne-cortex yangaphambili, ehambelana nokucwangcisa.
Kwiimeko apho amavolontiya alandela nje imiyalelo, inkqubo ayizange ibone nawuphi na umsebenzi wobuchopho kule mimandla yobuchopho. Kwelinye icala, xa ivuliwe, ihippocampus yakwazi ukuyicengceleza inkqubela ebudeni bohambo.
"Ukuba sicinga ngengqondo njengesihlunu, ke eminye imisebenzi, njengokufunda imephu yesitrato saseLondon, ifana noqeqesho lobunzima. Ekuphela kwento esinokuyithetha ngesiphumo solu phononongo kukuba asisebenzi kwezo ndawo zobuchopho bethu xa sithembele kuphela kwinkqubo yokuhamba. ”

Ngoko sele uyazi. Ngexesha elizayo ulingeka ukuba ulandele imiyalelo ye-GPS kwileta ngokungeyomfuneko, kungcono ucinge kabini. Kwakhona ngenxa yokuba iGPS ayisoloko ichanekile...
