Remembering With a Stone-Age Brain
Ifmemory evolved, sculpted by the processes of natural selection, then its operating characteristics likely bear the ‘‘footprints’’ of ancestral selection pressures. Psychologists rarely consider this possibility and generally ignore functional questions in their attempt to understand how human memory works. We propose that memory evolved to enhance reproductive fitness and, accordingly, its sy...
متن کاملBrain-Computer Interfaces - Applying our Minds to Human-Computer Interaction
Recent advances in cognitive neuroscience and brain imaging technologies provide us with the unprecedented ability to interface directly with activity in the human brain. Beyond traditional neuroscience work, researchers have begun to explore brain imaging as a novel input mechanism. This work has largely been targeted at allowing users to bypass the need for motor movement and to directly cont...

متن کاملStone Age Distributed Computing ( Extended
A new model that depicts a network of randomized finite state machines operating in an asynchronous environment is introduced. This model, that can be viewed as a hybrid of the message passing model and cellular automata is suitable for applying the distributed computing lens to the study of networks of sub-microprocessor devices, e.g., biological cellular networks and man-made nano-networks. A...
متن کاملOur plastic age
Within the last few decades, plastics have revolutionized our daily lives. Globally we use in excess of 260 million tonnes of plastic per annum, accounting for approximately 8 per cent of world oil production. In this Theme Issue of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, we describe current and future trends in usage, together with the many benefits that plastics bring to society. At ...
