Brain and Perception

Holonomy and Structure in Figural Processing

Comprehensively addressing the development of thinking from a wide variety of perspectives, this volume presents original work from cognitive psychologists, curriculum specialists, federal government and business leaders, politicians, educational theorists, and other prominent figures specializing in this complex field. These experts provide directives for teacher education, textbook development, classroom activities, administrative policies, publication procedures, business connections, community education strategies, and whole school projects as sample plans of action. Designed to spark adoptions of the solutions it proposes, this book suggests significant steps that can be taken to move toward more advanced thinking instruction in our educational systems.

SUMMARY The facts of optical processing by lens and pupil are agreed upon
and therefore make a good starting point for an examination of the perceptual
process. Distinguishing between processing performed by the optics of the eye
from that performed by the retina allows for the occurrence of a moving optical
image, that is, an optical flow. This flow is not two-dimensional, but richly
multidimensional. The multidimensionality is complemented by the richness of
the retinal receptor ...

Brain and Being

At the Boundary Between Science, Philosophy, Language and Arts

This book results from a group meeting held at the Institute for Scientific Exchange in Torino, Italy. The central aim was for scientists to “think together” in new ways with those in the humanities inspired by quantum theory and especially quantum brain theory. These fields of inquiry have suffered conceptual estrangement but now are ripe for rapprochement, if academic parochialism is put aside. A prevalent theme of the book is a moving away from individual elements and individual actors acting upon each other, toward a coordinate hermeneutic dynamics that manifests as a coherent totality. Among the topics covered are image in photography and in neuroscience; language; time; brain and mathematics; quantum brain dynamics and quantum communication.

On the basis of a recent physical theory of many-body problems developed in our
Institute,1 a model of the brain is formulated, and it is shown how some of its
typical features, such as learning and memory processes, find therein a natural
and simple explanation. In the Appendix a short surview of the necessary
mathematical formalism is finally given. 1. Introduction Although nowadays the
study of ...
