Throughout the present manuscript, we are going to introduce a novel group emergency decision-making technique in which the application of prospect theory explains the psychological behaviour of the decision maker who is affected by the hesitancy and uncertainty of cognition in decision making problems.\Instead of usual aggregation procedure, we implement here a new fusion technique that ...

Introduction Over the last quarter of the twentieth century, an orthodoxy of sorts had gelled in the philosophy of mind around a kind of psychological externalism, the idea that some mental states individuate sensitively to extra-cranial factors. More recently, two trends of thought have departed from this young orthodoxy in opposite directions. On the one hand, a cluster of ideas captured in s...

Introduction Over the last quarter of the twentieth century, an orthodoxy of sorts had gelled in the philosophy of mind around a kind of psychological externalism, the idea that some mental states individuate sensitively to extra-cranial factors.

Philosophers and cognitive scientists alike have recently been interested in whether cognition extends beyond the boundaries of skin skull into environment. However, extended hypothesis has suffered many objections over past few decades. In this paper, I explore option control extending human boundary. My aim is to convince reader three things: (1) that can be implemented artifacts, (2) humans ...

Why are mathematical models so surprisingly efficient in the sciences? In this paper, adopt an extended mind perspective on human mathematical abilities. I review evidence from animal, infant and neuropsychology studies that the human brain contains several specialized neural circuits which can be co-opted to solve complex mathematical problems. However, mathematics has emergent properties whic...

Author bios: Paul Marshall is a lecturer in interaction design at University College London. His research interests centre on the concept of embodied interaction and how it can be applied to the design and evaluation of technologies that extend and augment individual human capabilities. This has included work on physical interaction and tangible interfaces; on technologies for face-to-face coll...

In recent years there has been a lot of buzz about a new trend in cognitive science. The trend is associated with terms like 'embodiment', 'enactivism', 'distributed cognition', and 'the extended mind'. The ideas expressed using these terms are a diverse and sundry lot, but three of them stand out as especially central. First, cognition depends not just on the brain, but also on the body (the e...
