The creator of the cult classic Cyborg Handbook, Chris Hables Gray, now offers the first guide to posthuman politics, framing the key issues that could threaten or brighten our technological future. Politics has already been cyborged in ways that touch us all: on-line voting promises to change who participates in the demogratic process. Wars are won on video screens, biotechnological advances - cloning, sexual protheses, gene patents - are redefining life, death, and family in ways that strain the social contract. In the face of these advances, visions of the cyborg future range from the...

Coherent Systems: Volume 2
ISBN: 9780444517890 / Angielski / Twarda / 468 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One aspect of common sense reasoning is reasoning about normal cases, e.g. a physician will first try to interpret symptoms by a common disease, and will take more exotic possibilities only later into account. Such "normality" can be encoded, e.g. by a relation, where case A is considered more normal than case B. This gives a standard semantics or interpretation to nonmonotonic reasoning (a branch of common sense reasoning), or, more formally, to nonmonotonic logics. We consider in this book the repercussions such normality relations and similar constructions have on the resulting...

Principal Component Neural Networks: Theory and Applications
ISBN: 9780471054368 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Neural Network research studies how computers can be designed to emulate many of the logical and intelligent functions of the brain. The principles behind how the brain work are closely related to a statistical technique known as the Principal Component Analysis (PCA). PCA neural networks are systems that use this classical statistical technique to process information. Understanding biological perceptual systems is of great importance to engineers and computer scientists who wish to use this knowledge to develop artificial perceptual systems. This book examines the relationship between the...

Models of Working Memory: Mechanisms of Active Maintenance and Executive Control
ISBN: 9780521587211 / Angielski / Miękka / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Working memory is currently a "hot" topic in cognitive psychology and neuroscience. Because of their radically different scopes and emphases, however, comparing different models and theories and understanding how they relate to one another has been a difficult task. This work offers a much-needed forum for systematically comparing and contrasting existing models of working memory. It does so by asking each contributor to address the same comprehensive set of important theoretical questions on working memory. The answers to these questions elucidate the emerging general consensus on the nature...

Enchanted Looms: Conscious Networks in Brains and Computers
ISBN: 9780521624350 / Angielski / Twarda / 524 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The title of this book was inspired by a passage in Charles Sherrington's Man on his Nature. When that famous physiologist died in 1952, the prospects for a scientific explanation of consciousness seemed remote. Enchanted Looms shows how the situation has changed dramatically over the past forty years, and provides what is probably the most wide-ranging account of the phenomenon ever written. Rodney Cotterill bridges the gap between the bottom-up approach to understanding consciousness, anchored in the brain's biochemistry, anatomy and physiology, and the top-down strategy, which concerns...
