Neuroscience and Media
This volume explores how advances in the fields of evolutionary neuroscience and cognitive psychology are informing media studies with a better understanding of how humans perceive, think and experience emotion within mediated environments. The book highlights interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches to the production and reception of cinema, television, the Internet and other forms of mediated communication that take into account new understandings of how the embodied brain senses and interacts with its symbolic environment. Moreover, as popular media shape perceptions of the promises and limits of brain science, contributors also examine the representation of neuroscience and cognitive psychology within mediated culture.
Advances in Cognitive Neurodynamics (VI)
This proceedings contains articles submitted to the sixth International Conference on Cognitive Neurodynamics (ICCN2017). The Meeting included plenary lectures, specialized symposia, and posters presentations. The main topics of the meeting addressed the general substrates underlying neural functions and the neural dynamics in sensory, motor, and cognitive systems. Other important neuroscience fields covered in the meeting were learning and memory processes and the functionally-related changes in synaptic strength, neural oscillations, synchronizations and coherence activities between different neural circuits, and the imaging of cognitive networks. Finally, specific articles covered several fields related to neural computation and neuroengineering, the modelling higher-order functions and dysfunctions and the experimental design of brain-to-computer and brain-to-brain interactions. All articles were peer-reviewed. The ICCN is a series conference that takes place every two years since 2007.
Advances in Cognitive Neurodynamics (VII)
This book contains original articles submitted to the Seventh International Conference on Cognitive Neurodynamics (ICCN 2019). The brain is an endless case study of a complex system characterized by multiple levels of integration, multiple time scales of activity, and multiple coding and decoding properties. The contribution of several disciplines, mathematics, physics, computer science, neurobiology, pharmacology, physiology, and behavioral and clinical sciences, is necessary in order to cope with such seemingly unattainable complexity that transforms the experimental information into a tricky puzzle which hides the correspondence with model predictions. This conference gathered active participants to discuss ideas and pose new questions from different viewpoints, ranging from single neurons and neural networks to animal/human behavior in theoretical and experimental studies. The conference is organized with plenary lectures, mini-symposia, interdisciplinary round tables, and oral and poster sessions.
The Semiotics of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Focusing on the discursive dimension of the COVID-19 pandemic from a semiotic perspective, this book uses semiotic theory and methods to analyse the meaning-making mechanisms and dynamics that occurred during, and revolved around, the pandemic. Demonstrating the utility of semiotic theory, concepts and analytical methods to make sense of discursive phenomena like those triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, the book explores in detail: · the blame-attribution discourses that emerged at the beginning of the pandemic; · how the coronavirus was brought to life in plastic and visual manifestations as a monster that poses a threat to humans; · how the collective actor 'the healthcare workers' was...
Falsehoods Fly
Misinformation is one of the twenty-first century’s greatest challenges, a peril to democracy, peace, science, and public health. Yet we lack a clear understanding of what makes misinformation so potent and why it can spread so rapidly. In Falsehoods Fly, a leading cognitive scientist and philosopher offers a new framework for recognizing and countering misleading claims by exploring the ways that information works—and breaks down. Paul Thagard examines the dangers of misinformation on COVID-19, climate change, conspiracy theories, inequality, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He argues that effective responses to these problems require understanding how information is generated and s...
Copyright's Arc
Copyright is not one-size-fits-all. Skladany argues that copyright law should instead, vary according to a country's development status.
Didáctica actual para la Enseñanza Superior
El lector tiene ante sí un conjunto de textos científicos elaborados por docentes investigadores que teorizan desde su praxis ofreciendo un testimonio que da cuenta de las tendencias de la didáctica actual, entendiendo el término como la disciplina que interviene en el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje con el objeto de conseguir la formación intelectual del educando. En un momento en el que la sociedad avanza en la construcción de nuevas formas de educar, y de constituirse en torno a los parámetros convergentes de la Sociedad del Conocimiento, las Tecnologías de la Educación y la Información –TIC-, y el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior, EEES , resulta ciertamente meritoria ...
Infografía y visualización para no diseñadores
La infografía y la visualización de datos (información visual o visualización de información, en sentido amplio) son, actualmente, herramientas poderosas para cualquier profesional. En esta obra, la autora aborda el proceso de producción y comparte claves y consejos prácticos para empezar a usar estas formas visuales al servicio de una comunicación más atractiva, innovadora y adaptada a las necesidades de nuestros públicos y, al mismo tiempo, fiable y rigurosa. Gestado con un enfoque amplio, el libro se dirige no solo a periodistas y comunicadores, sino también a cualquier persona que quiera iniciarse en la propuesta y ejecución de proyectos de información visual atractivos y funcionales, esto es, comprensibles para sus destinatarios y que cumplan su función informativa.
