New Delhi: In continuation of the initiative by Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta to celebrate the foundation days of various states, the Department of Art, Culture, and Language organised a cultural programme at the Delhi Secretariat to celebrate Sikkim Day on Friday. The objective of the event was to showcase the glorious cultural heritage, lively traditions, and historical legacy of the state of Sikkim, said an official. Around 20 artistes associated with the Sahitya Kala Parishad presented captivating performances of Sikkim's folk dances, folk music, and traditional arts, bringing to life the diverse culturally rich of the state, he said. Chief Minister Gupta said: "A significant number of Sikkim citizens reside in Delhi, contributing remarkably to the progress of not only their state but the entire nation through their hard work, dedication, and diligence.' She said Sikkim is renowned not only for its natural beauty but also for its rich cultural heritage, peaceful lifestyle, and commitment to development, setting an example for the entire country. 'On this special day, I wish the people of Sikkim happiness, good health, and continuous progress,' she said. Minister of Art, Culture, and Language Kapil Mishra said: 'Sikkim is a leading state in India, not only culturally but also in terms of tourism, social, and economic contributions. The social, cultural, and educational collaboration between Delhi and Sikkim is continuously strengthening, and this partnership will grow even stronger in the coming years." He said the state's rich heritage, inspiring traditions, and historical contributions are a matter of pride for the nation. 'On this auspicious occasion, I extend my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to the people of Sikkim,' he said.

Meta's AI can now read your mind with 80% accuracy
INA - SOURCES Meta's AI research team is getting closer to decoding human thoughts. The company, in collaboration with the Basque Center on Cognition, Brain, and Language, has developed an AI model capable of reconstructing sentences from brain activity with up to 80% accuracy. The research relies on a non-invasive brain recording method and, according to the company, could pave the way for technology that helps people who have lost the ability to speak. Unlike existing brain-computer interfaces that often require invasive implants, Meta's approach uses magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG). These techniques measure brain activity without surgery. The AI model was trained on brain recordings from 35 volunteers as they typed sentences. When tested on new sentences, Meta claims it can accurately predict up to 80% of the characters typed using MEG data—at least twice as effective as EEG-based decoding. This method still has limitations. MEG requires a magnetically shielded room, and participants must remain still for accurate readings. The technology has also only been tested on healthy individuals, so its effectiveness for those with brain injuries remains uncertain. Beyond decoding thoughts into text, Meta's AI is also helping researchers understand how the brain turns ideas into language. The AI model analyzes MEG recordings, tracking brain activity at a millisecond level. It reveals how the brain transforms abstract thoughts into words, syllables, and even individual finger movements when typing.
