Local and global reference frames in survey knowledge acquired from navigation and maps Tobias Meilinger Max Planck Institute Tübingen, Germany It has been a long standing question in spatial navigation research whether navigators represent their environment within a single reference frame (i.e. coordinate system) or within multiple local interconnected representations. Most results suggest tha...

The achievement gap between White and Black students and White and Latino students remains one of the largest issues in education today despite countless efforts to reduce it. Previous reforms have focused on school-centered initiatives such as improving teacher quality or expanding Pre-Kindergarten programs. While these attempts are laudable, they have not found great success. However, recent ...

This paper explores and offers a quantum mechanical model for the emergence of selfawareness from holographically-generated dream images. Self-awareness arises from the ability of a simple memory device, an automaton in the brain, to obtain images of holographically-stored glial cell memories and, most importantly, through a quantum mechanical process, to also obtain images of itself. Each self...
