The Way Forward: Learning from Our Past
puting in science and engineering. But isn’t this what we are doing? Our charter commits us to build communities of practice that cross disciplines within the sciences, engineering, mathematics, and computation. Are we perhaps honoring this commitment, more often than not, in its breach? This issue offers three responses. First, its theme is multiphysics modeling. Having been an experimental ph...
متن کاملSleeping Our Way to Weight Normalization and Stable Learning
The functions of sleep have been an enduring mystery. Tononi and Cirelli (2003) hypothesized that one of the functions of slow-wave sleep is to scale down synapses in the cortex that have strengthened during awake learning. We create a computational model to test the functionality of this idea and examine some of its implications. We show that synaptic scaling during slow-wave sleep is capable ...
متن کاملLearning from gesture: How our hands change our minds.
When people talk, they gesture, and those gestures often reveal information that cannot be found in speech. Learners are no exception. A learner's gestures can index moments of conceptual instability, and teachers can make use of those gestures to gain access into a student's thinking. Learners can also discover novel ideas from the gestures they produce during a lesson, or from the gestures th...
متن کاملShould our focus on inflammation change the way we practice?
Some scientists say, "Forget about bacteria; treat, or even better yet, prevent inflammation." We understand that periodontal diseases originate as bacterial assaults, but some two-thirds of the destruction comes from the inflammatory response to the bacterial invasion. There is growing evidence that inflammation can be transferred from the oral cavity to other parts of the body (and vice versa...
متن کاملUsing our hands to change our minds.
Jean Piaget was a master at observing the routine behaviors children produce as they go from knowing less to knowing more about at a task, and making inferences not only about how children understand the task at each point, but also about how they progress from one point to the next. This article examines a routine behavior that Piaget overlooked-the spontaneous gestures speakers produce as the...
