Assessing Field Dependence–Independence Cognitive Abilities Through EEG-Based Bistable Perception Processing

Assessing Cognitive Abilities: Intelligence and More

In modern cognitive science, rationality and intelligence are measured using different tasks and operations. Furthermore, in several contemporary dual process theories of cognition, rationality is a more encompassing construct than intelligence. Researchers need to continue to develop measures of rational thought without regard to empirical correlations with intelligence. The measurement of ind...

Complementarity in Bistable Perception

The idea of complementarity already appears in William James’ (1890a, p. 206) Principles of Psychology in the chapter on “the relations of minds to other things”. Later, in 1927, Niels Bohr introduced complementarity as a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics. It refers to properties (observables) that a system cannot have simultaneously, and which cannot be simultaneously measured with arbi...

Approximation abilities of perception-based logical deduction

A perception-based logical deduction is formulated in the frame of fuzzy intensional logic. We will show that under certain conditions, this kind of deduction is also a universal approximator.

Brain networks underlying bistable perception

Bistable stimuli, such as the Necker Cube, demonstrate that experience can change in the absence of changes in the environment. Such phenomena can be used to assess stimulus-independent aspects of conscious experience. The current study used resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) to index stimulus-independent changes in neural activity to understand the neural architectur...
