"Brainets" Shaping The Embodied Activities

Shaping Embodied Neural Networks for Adaptive Goal-directed Behavior

The acts of learning and memory are thought to emerge from the modifications of synaptic connections between neurons, as guided by sensory feedback during behavior. However, much is unknown about how such synaptic processes can sculpt and are sculpted by neuronal population dynamics and an interaction with the environment. Here, we embodied a simulated network, inspired by dissociated cortical ...

Shaping and reshaping the aesthetic brain: Emerging perspectives on the neurobiology of embodied aesthetics

Less than two decades after its inception, the burgeoning field of neuroaesthetics continues to grow in interest and momentum. Despite the biological and social importance of the human body and the attention people pay to its appearance in daily life, only recently has neuroaesthetic inquiry turned its attention to questions concerning the aesthetic appraisal of the human body. We review eviden...

on the teacher-generated v.s. leaner-generated noticing-the-gap activities in language classes

abstract the purpose of this study is twofold: on the one hand, it is intended to see what kind of noticing-the –gap activity (teacher generated vs. learner generated) is more efficient in teaching l2 grammar in classroom language learning. on the other hand, it is an attempt to determine which approach of the noticing-the-gap- activity is more effective in the long- term retention of grammar...

Interactional Validity : Assessing technologies to support embodied activities

In this brief paper we discuss how we may draw upon workplace studies to inform the ways we assess innovative technologies to support embodied interaction. In particular, we discuss the challenges of designing quasi-naturalistic experiments to assess systems to support distributed embodied interaction.
