Includes index."A fun, informative, illustrated guide to hands-on experiments for home or the classroom that explain the principles of neuroscience; including electrophysiology, neuroengineering, & neuroethology"--OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.
A new way of thinking about data science and data ethics that is informed by the ideas of intersectional feminism. Today, data science is a form of power. It has been used to expose injustice, improve health outcomes, and topple governments. But it has also been used to discriminate, police, and surveil. This potential for good, on the one hand, and harm, on the other, makes it essential to ask…
Today, translational neuroscience faces significant challenges. Available therapies to treat brain and nervous system disorders are extremely limited and dated, and further development has effectively ceased. Disinvestment by the private sector occurred just as promising new technologies in genomics, stem cell biology, and neuroscience emerged to offer new possibilities. In this volume, experts…
The first comprehensive and detailed presentation of techniques for authenticating digital images. Photographs have been doctored since photography was invented. Dictators have erased people from photographs and from history. Politicians have manipulated photos for short-term political gain. Altering photographs in the predigital era required time-consuming darkroom work. Today, powerful and lo…
"This book has its origins at the Minding Design symposium that took place at Taliesin West in November, 2012, an event sponsored by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and Taliesin, the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture"--Page ix."Although we spend more than ninety percent of our lives inside buildings, we understand very little about how the built environment affects our behavior, thoug…
Authority and expertise in new sites of knowledge production / Anne Beaulieu, Sarah de Rijcke and Bas van Heur -- Working in virtual knowledge : affective labor in scholarly collaboration / Smiljana Antonijevi?c, Stefan Dormans and Sally Wyatt -- Exploring uncertainty in knowledge representations : classifications, simulations and models of the world / Matthijs Kouw, Charles van den Heuvel and …
The political and policy implications of recent developments in neuroscience, including new techniques in imaging and neurogenetics. New findings in neuroscience have given us unprecedented knowledge about the workings of the brain. Innovative research--much of it based on neuroimaging results--suggests not only treatments for neural disorders but also the possibility of increasingly precise an…
An investigation of the America-Rome analogy that goes deeper than the facile comparisons made on talk shows and in glossy magazine articles.America's post-Cold War strategic dominance and its pre-recession affluence inspired pundits to make celebratory comparisons to ancient Rome at its most powerful. Now, with America no longer perceived as invulnerable, engaged in protracted fighting in Iraq…
Essays on great figures and important issues, advances and blind alleys-from trepanation to the discovery of grandmother cells-in the history of brain sciences.OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.
"For much of the twentieth century, philosophy and science went their separate ways. In moral philosophy, fear of the so-called naturalistic fallacy kept moral philosophers from incorporating developments in biology and psychology. Since the 1990s, however, many philosophers have drawn on recent advances in cognitive psychology, brain science, and evolutionary psychology to inform their work. T…
