Brain-mind problems like consciousness have been stimulating the interest of philosophers and scientists since the ancient times. In the last decades, the dramatic development of neuroscience has allowed studying such phenomena at several different levels – from single neurons to behavior. Binocular rivalry, a paradigm dissociating the sensory input from the conscious perception during dichoptic viewing of incongruent images, has been a celebrated example of such a tool. During the last century, empirical research on binocular rivalry contributed the first important insights into the neuronal mechanisms of subjective visual perception. Recent advances in brain imaging and electrophysiologi...

It also draws a much broader perspective of women's roles in shaping our culture than has been the norm in Canadian art history.
Gewalt ist nicht nur eine Männerdomäne. Denn physische und psychische Gewalt wird sowohl vom männlichen, als auch vom weiblichen Geschlecht angewendet. Allerdings ist das Phänomen der Jungengewalt gut erforscht und bearbeitet, während die Anwendung und Ausprägung von Gewalt durch Mädchen und junge Frauen weitgehend unerforscht sind. Der Wissensstand über die Motive und die Ursachenkomplexe ist hier bisher eher gering. In dieser Studie wird auf der Basis von Leitfadeninterviews Licht ins Dunkel gebracht. Ausgangslage ist hierbei gezielt das weibliche Geschlecht und keine weiterführenden Thesen, die vom männlichen Geschlecht abgeleitet sind. Die betroffenen weiblichen Jugendlichen un...
