This paper argues that intentionally developing students’ epistemological awareness as well as materializing common imagination will facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration. Drawing on Itten’s Basic Design Course [9] and providing a framework based on Bachelard’s material imagination [4], a tangible interaction curriculum was designed to guide students through a process of building epistemic...

B eginning with the problem of integrating diverse disciplinary perspectives on moral cognition, we argue that the various disciplines have an interest in developing a common conceptual framework for moral cognition research. We discuss issues arising in the other chapters in this volume that might serve as focal points for future investigation and as the basis for the eventual development of s...

In this article, we will show how imagination and time are two sides of the same coin. To explain this, we require that imagination posits countability of alternatives. A countable set of alternatives can be sequenced on a timeline, for example the thinking human’s past, or it can be expressed as a countably infinite set of cycles such as a Fourier transform gives us. At the heart of our discus...

In order to implement an EEG-based brain computer interface (BCI), a very large number of strategies (ranging from sensory–motor, p300, auditory based, visually based) can be used. However, no technique exists which is based on the olfactory stimulation or, better, based on the imagination of olfactory

One way to improve access to education is to make use of the World-Wide Web, and already there is a great deal of material on the Web intended specifically for education. However, much of it is unexciting and would not encourage creativity or imagination in those studying it. This paper shows that by taking ideas from e-commerce, where effective and innovative use has been made of the Web, it i...

Although the role of imagination in moral reasoning is often neglected, recent literature, mostly of pragmatist signature, points to imagination as one of its central elements. In this article we develop some of their arguments by looking at the moral role of imagination in practice, in particular the practice of neonatal intensive care. Drawing on empirical research, we analyze a decision-maki...

Imagination as a cause of memory distortion has generated much recent interest. Researchers have demonstrated that memories for both childhood events and more recent actions are influenced by imagination (Garry, Manning, Loftus, & Sherman, 1996; Goff & Roediger, 1998). Typically, confidence in the occurrence of fictitious events increases after those events have been imagined— a phenomenon call...
