Actor & Avatar
What kind of relationship do we have with artificial beings (avatars, puppets, robots, etc.)? What does it mean to mirror ourselves in them, to perform them or to play trial identity games with them? Actor & Avatar addresses these questions from artistic and scholarly angles. Contributions on the making of »technical others« and philosophical reflections on artificial alterity are flanked by neuroscientific studies on different ways of perceiving living persons and artificial counterparts. The contributors have achieved a successful artistic-scientific collaboration with extensive visual material.
Beyond Mimesis
Providing a solid media-philosophical groundwork, Beyond Mimesis contributes to the theory of mimesis and alterity in performance philosophy while serving to stimulate and inspire future inquiries where studies in media and art intersect with philosophy. It collects a wide range of philosophical and artistic thinkers' work to develop an exacting framework with clear movement beyond mimesis in aesthetic experiences in uncanny valleys. Together, the chapters ask if intersubjective acts of relating that are defined by alterity, responsivity or witness and trust can be transferred to artificial beings without remainder. The proposed framework uses a particularly fruitful theoretical model for th...

Handbook of Functional MRI Data Analysis
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become the most popular method for imaging brain function. Handbook for Functional MRI Data Analysis provides a comprehensive and practical introduction to the methods used for fMRI data analysis. Using minimal jargon, this book explains the concepts behind processing fMRI data, focusing on the techniques that are most commonly used in the field. This book provides background about the methods employed by common data analysis packages including FSL, SPM, and AFNI. Some of the newest cutting-edge techniques, including pattern classification analysis, connectivity modeling, and resting state network analysis, are also discussed. Readers of this book, whether newcomers to the field or experienced researchers, will obtain a deep and effective knowledge of how to employ fMRI analysis to ask scientific questions and become more sophisticated users of fMRI analysis software.
The Node of Ranvier
The Node of Ranvier is a collection of studies about the function, morphology, and development of the node of Ranvier from experts of different disciplines. The book covers topics such as the evolution of the structure and structure and function of the nodes of Ranvier; membrane specialization at the nodes of Ranvier; and catch-binding. Also included in the book are studies about the structural and functional relationships of ion conduction in the myelinated and demyelinated axon; functional organization of potassium channels in axons; the effects of pathological conditions and toxins on nodes of Ranvier; and nodelike membranes at extranodal sites. Physiologists, biochemists, pharmacologists, cell biologists, neurologists, and neuropathologists who would like to find out more and make a study about the node of Ranvier will find the text helpful and relevant.
