In the Palaces of Memory: How We Build the Worlds Inside Our Heads
ISBN: 9780679737599 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Even as you read these words, a tiny portion of your brain is physically changing. New connections are being sprouted--a circuit that will create a stab of recognition if you encounter the words again. That is one of the theories of memory presented in this intriguing and splendidly readable book, which distills three researchers' inquiries into the processes that enable us to recognize a face that has aged ten years or remember a melody for decades. Ranging from experiments performed on the "wetware" of the brain to attempts to re-create human cognition in computers, In the Palaces of...

Zkratka napříč časem
ISBN: 9788086569833 / Czeski / 2004 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Jestliže se vědcům a technikům podaří postavit kvantový počítač, zažije informatika snad největší revoluci od svého vzniku v polovině 20. století. Výpočetními elementy takového stroje budou nepatrné objekty, atomy či ještě menší částice, pro něž neplatí běžná fyzikální pravidla, ale zdánlivě bizarní zákony kvantové mechaniky. V principu by pak mohlo pár desítek důmyslně propojených atomů paralelně provádět mnohem složitější výpočty než nejmodernější superpočítače dneška. Autor v knize zasvěceně a přitom zcela srozumitelně...

Or is the order we see a mere artifact of the way evolution wired the brain? And is what we call science only a set of myths in which quarks, DNA, and information fill the role once occupied by gods? These questions lie at the heart of George Johnson's audacious exploration of the border between science and religion, cosmic accident and timeless law. Northern New Mexico is home both to the most provocative new enterprises in quantum physics, information science, and the evolution of complexity and to the cosmologies of the Tewa Indians and the...
