Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In questo libro sono esposti, con dovizia di particolari, dieci esperimenti che hanno portato ad un cambio radicale delle teorie fisiche e scientifiche, partendo da quanto accaduto alla fine dell’Ottocento fino a giungere alla fine del Novecento. Tali esperimenti sono descritti dapprima focalizzandosi sul problema che ha indotto a testare proprio quell’apparato sperimentale, poi descrivendo la soluzione trovata ed infine esponendone le conseguenze.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, ten experiments that led to a radical change in physical and scientific theories, starting from what happened in the late nineteenth century and ending in the late twentieth century, are set out in great detail. These experiments are described first by focusing on the problem that prompted the testing of that very experimental apparatus, then by describing the solution found, and finally by exposing the consequences

Download or read book Brain and Visual Perception written by David H. Hubel M.D. and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-10-14 with total page 739 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of a hugely successful and enjoyable 25-year collaboration between two scientists who set out to learn how the brain deals with the signals it receives from the two eyes. Their work opened up a new area of brain research that led to their receiving the Nobel Prize in 1981. The book contains their major papers from 1959 to 1981, each preceded and followed by comments telling how and why the authors went about the study, how the work was received, and what has happened since. It begins with short autobiographies of both men, and describes the state of the field when they started. It is intended not only for neurobiologists, but for anyone interested in how the brain works-biologists, psychologists, philosophers, physicists, historians of science, and students at all levels from high school to graduate level.

Download or read book The Algebraic Mind written by Gary F. Marcus and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Algebraic Mind, Gary Marcus attempts to integrate two theories about how the mind works, one that says that the mind is a computer-like manipulator of symbols, and another that says that the mind is a large network of neurons working together in parallel. Resisting the conventional wisdom that says that if the mind is a large neural network it cannot simultaneously be a manipulator of symbols, Marcus outlines a variety of ways in which neural systems could be organized so as to manipulate symbols, and he shows why such systems are more likely to provide an adequate substrate for language and cognition than neural systems that are inconsistent with the manipulation of symbols. Concluding with a discussion of how a neurally realized system of symbol-manipulation could have evolved and how such a system could unfold developmentally within the womb, Marcus helps to set the future agenda of cognitive neuroscience.

Book excerpt: Proposes a dual picture of human lexical competence in which inferential and referential abilities are separate.

Download or read book Scalar Implicatures written by Penka Stateva and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2019-10-18 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scalar implicatures have enjoyed the status of one of the most researched topics in both theoretical and experimental pragmatics in recent years. This Research Topic presents new developments in studying the comprehension, as well as the production of scalar inferences, suggests new testing paradigms that trigger important discussions about the methodology of experimental investigation, explores the effect of prosody and context on inference rates. To a great extent the articles reflect the state of the art in the domain and outline promising paths for future research.
