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
Ileana Stigliani,Davide Ravasi +1 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Minds - Extended or Scaffolded
Kim Sterelny,Kim Sterelny +1 more
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.

A Brief Introduction to the Brain and Paradigm of Melchizedek
TL;DR: The Paradigm of Melchizedek as discussed by the authors is a new paradigm for scientific research that is based on values rather than unhealthy scepticism and is geared towards a greater synthesis between ancient and modern spiritual wisdom and scientific truth, in order to advance a cognitive science that allows an inclusive study of the neurobiology of values like Truth, Love and Unity.

Three Tools for the Real-Time Simulation of Embodied Spiking Neural Networks Using GPUs
TL;DR: A toolbox of solutions that enable the user to construct biologically-inspired spiking neural networks with tens of thousands of neurons and millions of connections that can be simulated in real time, visualized in 3D and connected to robots and other devices are presented.
