Copyright is held by the author/owner(s). CHI’13, April 27 – May 2, 2013, Paris, France. ACM 978-1-XXXX-XXXX-X/XX/XX. Abstract In the early 1980’s, Card, Moran and Newell [2] proposed an architecture model, Model Human Processor, in order to simulate users interacting with then-modern workstations equipped with WIMP for the purpose of demonstrating, e.g., a GUI screen editor running on the new ...

Fixing hearts and protecting minds: a review of the multiple, interacting factors influencing cognitive function after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Rooting opinions in the minds: a cognitive model and a formal account of opinions and their dynamics

The study of opinions, their formation and change, is one of the defining topics addressed by social psychology, but in recent years other disciplines, like computer science and complexity, have tried to deal with this issue. Despite the flourishing of different models and theories in both fields, several key questions still remain unanswered. The understanding of how opinions change and the wa...

Information-sharing and aggregation models for interacting minds

We study mathematical models of the collaborative solving of a twochoice discrimination task. We estimate the difference between the shared performance for a group of n observers over a single person performance. Our paper is a theoretical extension of the recent work of Bahrami et al. (2010) from a dyad (a pair) to a group of n interacting minds. We analyze several models of communication, dec...

What’s so critical about Critical Neuroscience? Rethinking experiment, enacting critique

In the midst of on-going hype about the power and potency of the new brain sciences, scholars within "Critical Neuroscience" have called for a more nuanced and sceptical neuroscientific knowledge-practice. Drawing especially on the Frankfurt School, they urge neuroscientists towards a more critical approach-one that re-inscribes the objects and practices of neuroscientific knowledge within webs...
