This is why I refuse to work on camera estimation problems. For embodied AI, I consider it a **solved** problem at large – there are better things to spend your time on. It's only a "problem" in academia.

This is why you must plant more #trees and protect birds. From an evolutionary standpoint, our brains are literally wired to find peace in birdsong. Birds sing in safe, stable environments — calm mornings and evenings with no predators around. So when we hear them, our brain reads it as: all clear. A 2024 EEG study found that birdsong triggers the strongest alpha wave activity in the brain — linked to calm, peace, and mental stability. Birdsong activates the parasympathetic nervous system, signalling rest to the body, while dialling down the sympathetic system — the one responsible for fight-or-flight. Studies show that nature sounds lower heart rate, blood pressure, and cortisol levels, and slow down breathing. Some research, using skin conductance monitoring, found that nature sounds relieve stress faster than many conventional therapies. Urban noise is the opposite. Vehicle horns, industrial sounds — these are transient, non-rhythmic, and they directly activate the amygdala, spiking stress and anxiety. Birds sing in the 2–8 kHz frequency range, and our ears are most sensitive to exactly that range. Research shows these sounds sharpen attention and boost mental productivity — a concept known as Attention Restoration Theory in cognitive psychology. Plant trees. Protect birds. Your nervous system will thank you.
