This book explores the causes and implications of the Libyan crisis since the anti-Gaddafi uprisings of 2011 from the perspective of the EU and NATO. It asks the question of why those organizations failed to stabilize the country despite the serious challenges posed by the protracted crisis to European and transatlantic stakes in the region. This book argues that such failure originated in a twofold problem common to both organizations: their prioritization of legitimacy over strategy, and their path dependence – the insufficient degree of adaptation to meet the different needs of the crisis. Through a critical and integrated analysis of official sources and extensive interviews with EU, N...
This book addresses the emerging field of neuromarketing, which, at its core, aims to better understand the impact of marketing stimuli by observing and interpreting human emotions. It includes contributions from leading researchers and practitioners, venturing beyond the tactics and strategies of neuromarketing to consider the ethical implications of applying powerful tools for data collection. The rationale behind neuromarketing is that human decision-making is not primarily a conscious process. Instead, there is increasing evidence that the willingness to buy products and services is an emotional process where the brain uses short cuts to accelerate the decision-making process. At the int...
What Is BCI2000? BCI2000 is a general-purpose software platform for brain–computer interface (BCI) research. It can also be used for a wide variety of data acquisition, stimulus p- sentation, and brain monitoring applications.

In addition, many laboratories around the world, most notably the BrainLab at Georgia State University in Atlanta, Georgia, and Fondazione Santa Lucia in Rome, Italy, have also played an important role in the project’s development. Mission The mission of the BCI2000 project is to facilitate research and the development of applications in all areas that depend on real-time acquisition, processing, and feedback of biosignals. Vision Our vision is that BCI2000 will become a widely used software tool for diverse areas of research and development.

As dictatorship and political upheaval ravage the Philippines, the sister's conflicting passions threaten to lead them to betray not only each other, but all that their father stood for.

Taking in the Philippines' troubled history from the Marcos dictatorship to the establishment of the present totalitarian regime, and expertly layering the many aspects of the human condition, The Betrayed is a complex and luminous novel.
Este libro es una crítica al sistema hospitalario desde el punto de vista de un paciente que jamás estuvo en un hospital y que odia a los mismos. Podía haber sido un libro más largo, deteniéndome en detalles sin importancia, pero no quise adornarlo. Los comentarios son lo que me imaginaba diciéndole a los médicos, pero quedaron encerrados hasta otro momento, en mi cabeza. Incluyo otros cuentos, que me gustó crear, ya que implica un esfuerzo de mi parte. Si, reconozco que hay algo de sarcasmo, pero también, algo de humor negro. Una de las cosas interesantes es la serigrafía: pertenece a cuatro estados, que son sutiles y es lo que me sucedió cuando salí del hospital. Sin ánimo de asustarles, se dice que un 10% de los pacientes cardiacos, por depresión, vuelven a tener un infarto nuevamente, pero como la depresión es el elemento en el que nado, yo la transformo en melancolía.
