Juxtaposing perspectives, this insightful book brings together the various dimensions of the relationship between EU law and international law. As the multifaceted interplay between these two legal orders has become increasingly complex with expanding EU policy areas and the development of the EU as a global (normative) actor, this book offers a timely contribution to this important field of study.
Handmade Electronic Music: The Art of Hardware Hacking provides a long-needed, practical, and engaging introduction for students of electronic music, installation and sound-art to the craft of making--as well as creatively cannibalizing--electronic circuits for artistic purposes. Designed for practioners and students of electronic art, it provides a guided tour through the world of electronics, encouraging artists to get to know the inner workings of basic electronic devices so they can creatively use them for their own ends. Handmade Electronic Music introduces the basic of practical circuitry while instructing the student in basic electronic principles, always from the practical point of view of an artist. It teaches a style of intuitive and sensual experimentation that has been lost in this day of prefabricated electronic musical instruments whose inner workings are not open to experimentation. It encourages artists to transcend their fear of electronic technology to launch themselves into the pleasure of working creatively with all kinds of analog circuitry.
The premise of neuroplasticity on enhancing cognitive functioning among healthy as well as cognitively impaired individuals across the lifespan, and the potential of harnessing these processes to prevent cognitive decline attract substantial scientific and public interest. Indeed, the systematic evidence base for cognitive training, video games, physical exercise and other forms of brain stimulation such as entrain brain activity is growing rapidly. This Research Topic (RT) focused on recent research conducted in the field of cognitive and brain plasticity induced by physical activity, different types of cognitive training, including computerized interventions, learning therapy, video games, and combined intervention approaches as well as other forms of brain stimulation that target brain activity, including electroencephalography and neurofeedback. It contains 49 contributions to the topic, including Original Research articles (37), Clinical Trials (2), Reviews (5), Mini Reviews (2), Hypothesis and Theory (1), and Corrections (2).
The first book to comprehensively explore the cognitive foundations of human spatial navigation Humans possess a range of navigation and orientation abilities, from the ordinary to the extraordinary. All of us must move from one location to the next, following habitual routes and avoiding getting lost. While there is more to learn about how the brain underlies our ability to navigate, neuroscience and psychology have begun to converge on some important answers. In Human Spatial Navigation, four leading experts tackle fundamental and unique issues to produce the first book-length investigation into this subject. Opening with the vivid story of Puluwat sailors who navigate in the open ocean wi...
Awarded art ist eine Kunstbuchreihe, die aus dem Wunsch entstanden ist, zeitgenössischen Künstlern eine Plattform zu geben, um ihre Werke einem breiteren Publikum zur Verfügung zu stellen. Unsere Kunstbücher verstehen sich als Bindeglied zwischen ausgesuchter zeitgenössischer Kunst und dem Ästhetikverständnis eines jeden Betrachters und bietet einen Einblick in die Freiheit künstlerischer Arbeit, die durch Spiel mit Farben, Formen und Materialien auf vielseitige Art und Weise den Betrachter berührt. Unsere Kunstbuchreihe ist auch eine Art Bewahrer des Moments, die Abbildung derzeitig aktiver künstlerischer Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten. Jedes Motiv, jede Farbwahl, jedes Material und jedes Werkzeug hat für jeden einzelnen Künstler eine gewisse Bedeutung. Durch die Betrachtung kann jedes Kunstwerk ebenso passiv wie auch aktiv den Betrachter zu eigener Kreativität anregen oder den Wunsch wecken, es sich anzueignen. Durch direkte Kontaktmöglichkeiten zu den Künstlern gibt es ein Netzwerk von Kunstschaffenden und Kunstliebhabern, die im besten Fall beide Seiten zugleich befriedigen können.
