Giving limbs a hand

Giving the Head a Hand:

This work contributes to the major promise of computational technology for learning in making discovery and acquisition of knowledge accessible in new ways and to a wider range of people. The particular focus here is on learning about ideas in Balance Control through observing one’s own body motions and programming physical robots to perform balancing acts, such as balancing an inverted pendulu...

Visuo-motor control: Giving the brain a hand

Sensory information is acquired in spatial coordinate systems linked to sense organs, yet movement must be executed in coordinate systems linked to motor effector organs. Neurophysiological experiments are yielding new insights into how the brain transforms coordinate systems to facilitate movement.

Giving the head a hand: constructing a microworld to build relationships with ideas in balance control

The major promise of computational technology for learning is in making discovery and acquisition of knowledge accessible to a wider range of people. The protean expressive and constructive nature of computational technology facilitates more powerful and effective learning methodologies. Enabling multiple forms of representation through computational approaches to thinking about various phenome...

The Definition of Lymphocyte Activating Factor: Giving a Helping Hand to Serendipity

The idea that soluble cell products play important roles in the complex process of the immune response was supported by scientific evidence in the sixties in several publications including those by David et al. (1) and Bloom and Bennett (2), who discovered the activity of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), Gordon and McLean (3) who reported that media of leukocyte cultures contain mi...
