Good Vibrations

How and where the brain forms associations between sensation and action are crucial questions in the field of cognitive neuroscience. In this issue of Neuron, add to an already impressive body of work elucidating the neural mechanisms responsible for forming categorical decisions about vibrotactile stimuli that guide behavior. Here they show that single neurons in premotor cortex represent, rem...

Embodied sentence comprehension 1 EMBODIED SENTENCE COMPREHENSION

ions are being discussed in other chapters in this book (Barsalou & WiemerHastings, this volume; Gibbs, this volume; Prinz, this volume). 6.0 Conclusion and outlook We started this chapter by comparing two perspectives on cognition in general and on language comprehension in particular. According to the traditional perspective, language comprehension involves the activation and integration of d...

Emphasizing Vibrations

In the article ‘Illuminating Resolution’ (GEO ExPro Vol. 8, No. 3) we described the evolution of seismic acquisition technologies that aim to achieve the geophysicists’ goals of illumination and resolution. One development featured in the article is the concept of extending the frequency content or bandwidth of seismic signals, especially at the low-frequency end, in order to achieve better ver...

Using 'GT Vibrations' in System Dynamics and Vibrations Courses

This paper presents an overview of an interactive multimedia vibrations program called GT Vibrations. GT Vibrations contains a series of modules that deal with elementary vibrations, transient vibrations, and continuous systems. The program is intended to be used as a supplemental tool for undergraduate courses in vibrations and system dynamics at Georgia Tech. The underlying goal of the progra...
