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.

Thinking with external representations

TL;DR: Seven ways external representations enhance cognitive power are discussed: they change the cost structure of the inferential landscape; they provide a structure that can serve as a shareable object of thought; they facilitate re-representation; they are often a more natural representation of structure than mental representations; and they lower the cost of controlling thought—they help coordinate thought.

Organizing Thoughts and Connecting Brains: Material Practices and the Transition from Individual to Group-Level Prospective Sensemaking

TL;DR: This paper developed a process model that accounts for the interplay between conversational and material practices in the transition from individual to group-level sensemaking, and unpack how the materialization of cognitive work supports the collective construction of new shared understandings.

Embodied cognition and the magical future of interaction design

TL;DR: The theory of embodied cognition can provide HCI practitioners and theorists with new ideas about interaction and new principles for better designs, and these ideas have major implications for interaction design, especially the design of tangible, physical, context aware, and telepresence systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Minds - Extended or Scaffolded

TL;DR: It is argued that extended mind cases are limiting cases of environmental scaffolding, and while the extended mind picture is not false, the niche construction model is a more helpful framework for understanding human action.

The embodied vehicle

TL;DR: This workshop will focus on a different approach that emphasizes on strengthening the link between vehicle and driver and draft and discuss options for achieving a closer human-vehicle integration and identify possible implications of the developed approaches.

Where Kinesthetic Empathy meets Kinetic Design

TL;DR: Kinesthetic empathy is often neglected in the discussion around the potential of kinetic objects in design as well as in technology-based domains like human-computer interaction, but it is expected to open a new perspective on the authors' embodied and visceral response to dynamic objects and environments.

Extended circularity: A new puzzle for extended cognition

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight a kind of con- dition of epistemological adequacy that should be accepted by proponents of extended cognition; once this condition is motivated, they demonstrate how attempts to satisfy this condition seem to inevitably devolve into a novel kind of epistemic circularity.

Extended scaffolding: A more general theory of scaffolded cognition

TL;DR: This work establishes a principled way to set down a boundary between the mind and the environment by developing a methodology for modeling potentially cognitive processes.

An Algorithmic Metaphysics of Self-Patterns

TL;DR: An algorithmic criterion is drawn on to demonstrate that the self (as initially described in Shaun Gallagher’s a pattern theory of self) is a composite, scattered, and patterned object and the self-pattern and its environment do not constitute a genuine composite object.
