The History and Philosophy of Astrobiology: Perspectives on Extraterrestrial Life and the Human Mind
TL;DR: The history of the science of this area and the development of new schools in philosophy can be traced in this paper, where a variety of approaches, including one from cognitive zoology, can be found in formulating a theory of the universal principles of intelligence, the limits of human conceptual abilities, and the human mind's encounter with the unknown.

Toward a Sparse Self-Organizing Map for Neuromorphic Architectures
TL;DR: This article proposes modeling cortical plasticity in mammalian brains as a problem of estimating a probability density function that would correspond to the nature and the richness of the environment perceived through multiple modalities and defines and develops a novel neural model solving the problem in a distributed and sparse manner.

Tangible Landscape: A Hands-on Method for Teaching Terrain Analysis
Garrett C. Millar,Payam Tabrizian,Anna Petrasova,Vaclav Petras,Brendan Harmon,Helena Mitasova,Ross K. Meetenmeyer +6 more
TL;DR: Novel and effective methods for teaching about topography and assessing 3-dimensional spatial learning using tangibles are presented and the physicality of the objects enabled the participants to effectively interact with the system and each other, positively impacting ratings of usability and task-specific knowledge building.
Journal ArticleDOI
Language and action in Broca's area: Computational differentiation and cortical segregation.
TL;DR: It is suggested that action and language can meet only where the interfaces transfer abstract computations either to the external world or to the internal mental world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards an externalist neuroeconomics: Dual selves, signs, and choice.
TL;DR: In this article, an alternative conceptual framework that adopts the position of externalism is proposed, which further narrows down to a distributed cognition framework, and eventually to a biosemiotic model of human choice.

The Extended Mind
TL;DR: The authors advocate an externalism about mind, but one that is in no way grounded in the debatable role of external reference in fixing the contents of our mental states, rather, they advocate an *active externalism*, based on the active role of the environment in driving cognitive processes.
Proceedings Article
Action perception
TL;DR: Action In Perception as discussed by the authors is an e-book with action in perception and perception in interactive sound installations with a focus on action-perception loops through motor cognition, focusing on action perception and interpretation without motor control.

The Bounds of Cognition
Fred Adams,Kenneth Aizawa +1 more
TL;DR: The authors argued that transcranial cognition may be both a logical and a nomological possibility, but no case has been made for its current existence, and they defend a form of contingent intracranialism about the cognitive.

Networks of the Brain
TL;DR: Models of Network Growth All networks, whether they are social, technological, or biological, are the result of a growth process, and many continue to grow for prolonged periods of time, continually modifying their connectivity structure throughout their entire existence.
