Hearing structure in music: An empirical inquiry into listening as representation and processing

Gabriele Cecchetti

As a universal expression of human creativity, music is capable of conveying great subtlety and complexity. Crucially, this complexity is not encoded in the score or in the sounds, but is rather construed in the mind of the listener in the form of nuanced ...

Playing Brains: The Ethical Challenges Posed by Silicon Sentience and Hybrid Intelligence in DishBrain

Georg Michael Joachim Starke

The convergence of human and artificial intelligence is currently receiving considerable scholarly attention. Much debate about the resulting Hybrid Minds focuses on the integration of artificial intelligence into the human brain through intelligent brain- ...

The CT-cube: A framework for the design and the assessment of computational thinking activities

Francesco Mondada, Laila Abdelsalam El-Hamamsy, Alberto Piatti

Computational thinking is a fundamental competence that is being introduced in K-12 and succeeding curricula worldwide. Despite this huge effort, many computational thinking models in the literature do not explicitly take into consideration the pupils’ age ...

Dataset for the comparison of two Computational Thinking (CT) test for upper primary school (grades 3-4) : the Beginners' CT test (BCTt) and the competent CT test (cCTt)

Barbara Bruno, Jessica Elke Dehler Zufferey, Laila Abdelsalam El-Hamamsy

This dataset contains quantitative student data acquired during the administration of two validated Computational Thinking (CT) assessments for upper primary school (grades 3 and 4): the Beginners' CT test (BCTt) [1] and the comptent CT test (cCTt) [2] To ...

Assessing Computational Thinking: Development and Validation of the Algorithmic Thinking Test for Adults

Olivier Lévêque, Jessica Elke Dehler Zufferey, Cécile Hardebolle, Marc Lafuente Martinez

This study describes the development and validation process of a computational thinking (CT) test for adults. The team designed a set of items and explored a subset of those through two qualitative pilots. Then, in order to provide validity evidence based ...

Tracing Embodied Narratives of Critical Thinking

Aditi Kothiyal

Critical Thinking (CrT) is generally characterized as an abstract thinking process, detached from the (bodily) actions one engages in during the process. Though recent cognitive theories assert that all thinking is action-based, the embodied and distribute ...

The Unfolding Argument: Why Recurrent Processing Cannot Explain Consciousness

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Aaron Schurger

Neuroscientific theories aim to explain paradigm cases of consciousness such as masking, binocular rivalry or the transition from dreamless sleep to wakefulness. The most popular theories are based on computational principles. Recurrent processing is a key ...

From multisensory integration in peripersonal space to bodily self-consciousness: from statistical regularities to statistical inference

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino

Integrating information across sensory systems is a critical step toward building a cohesive representation of the environment and one's body, and as illustrated by numerous illusions, scaffolds subjective experience of the world and self. In the last year ...

Feeding the human brain model

Sean Lewis Hill

The goal of the Human Brain Project is to develop, during the next decade, an infrastructure capable of simulating a draft human brain model based on available experimental data. One of the key issues is therefore to integrate and make accessible the exper ...

Computational Shifts in Theatrical Space

Andrew James Sempere

This dissertation describes a set of research projects that were conducted between 2012 and 2014 in order to answer the question how do computational ideas alter our understanding of place? Each project was produced in the context of the performing arts an ...

Detecting Cognitive States for Enhancing Driving Experience

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Huaijian Zhang, Lucian Andrei Gheorghe, Zahra Khaliliardali

Intelligent cars exploit environmental information to support drivers by providing extra information and assisting complex maneouvers. They can also take into account the internal state of the driver by means of decoding cognition-related brain activity. H ...

La donnée géographique aux frontières des organisations : approche socio-cognitive et systémique de son appropriation

Geographic Information Technologies are now widespread. Geomatics tools are no longer restricted to a small number of technicians but impact on all of the actors within the land management sector (planners, geologists, foresters…). Many partnerships have e ...

How the mind constitutes itself through perceptual learning

Michael Herzog

Most theories of perception assume a rigid relationship between objects of the physical world and the corresponding mental representations. We show by a priori reasoning that this assumption is not fulfilled. We claim instead that all object-representation ...

Enactive Robot Vision

Dario Floreano, Mototaka Suzuki

Enactivism claims that sensory-motor activity and embodiment are crucial in perceiving the environment and that machine vision could be a much simpler business if considered in this context. However, computational models of enactive vision are very rare an ...

Comparing Distributed Cognition and Course of Action: An application to car driving

Distributed Cognition and Course of Action theories offer frameworks for micro-analysis of activity. The former leads to an abstract level of description of the propagation of information in a socio-technical system. The latter embeds conclusions from the ...
