It should be noted that the award is awarded annually in ten categories, but their list is always different. This time the rewards are:

Mechanical Engineering Award

Researchers from India, China, Malaysia and the US have received it for reviving dead spiders for use as mechanical handling devices.

The Ig Nobel was awarded to four specialists who studied the sensations of people repeating the same word several times in a row. Scientists have studied this phenomenon, called “word alienation” and “semantic saturation.”

Health Care Award

Communication Award

It went to a team from Argentina, Spain, Colombia, Chile, China and the USA who studied the mental activity of people who easily speak backwards.
