Anzeige Hebler 1sp/110 Rubentem dicere verum, errötend die Wahrheit sagen – das ist, frei nach Horaz, das Motto eines faulen Professors, der im folgenden seine geheimen Gedanken outet. Oh Schreck: Die Semesterferien, irreführend auch Vorlesungsfreie Zeit genannt, sind bald vorüber! Nach drei Monaten dolce far niente soll man wieder lehren? Vorbei die schönen Tage, die müßig dahingingen mit der ...

Bibliothek des Ruhrgebiets eröffnet Ein Traum wird wahr – dachten wir, als es hieß, das elektronische Telefonbuch für die RUB wird endlich ins Netz gestellt. Dann ist es vorbei, das Hantieren mit dem unhandlichen Vorlesungsund Personalverzeichnis des jüngsten Wintersemesters, das ja zwei Semester lang als pfundiges Telefonbuch herhalten muss. Oder der X-te Griff zum längst abgegriffenen “richti...

Numerous studies explore consumer perception of brands in a more or less passive way. This may still be representative for many situations or decisions we make each day. Nevertheless, sometimes we often actively search for and use information to make informed and reasoned choices, thus implying a rational and thinking consumer. Researchers suggested describing this distinction as low relative t...

Since before we can remember, humanity aims to overcome its biological limitations; such a goal has certainly played a key role in the advent of technique. However, despite the benefits that technique may bring, the people who make use of it will inevitably be under risk of harm. Even though human technical wisdom consists in attaining the best result without compromising anybody’s safety, misu...

Studies investigating joint actions have suggested a central role for the putative mirror neuron system (pMNS) because of the close link between perception and action provided by these brain regions [1], [2], [3]. In contrast, our previous functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiment demonstrated that the BOLD response of the pMNS does not suggest that it directly integrates observed...

The exact contribution of Broca's area to motor cognition is still controversial. Here we used repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (5 Hz, five pulses) to interfere transiently with the function of left BA44 in 13 healthy individuals; the task consisted of reordering human actions or nonbiological events based on three pictures presented on a computer screen and extracted from a video s...
