Cetacean Brain Evolution: Multiplication Generates Complexity
Over the past 55-60 million years cetacean (dolphin, whale, and porpoise) brains have become hyperexpanded so that modern cetacean encephalization levels are second only to modern humans. At the same time, brain expansion proceeded along very different lines than in other large-brained mammals so that substantial differences between modern cetacean brains and other mammalian brains exist at eve...
متن کاملEvolution of Information and Complexity in an Ever-Expanding Universe
Using the usual definitions of information and entropy in quantum gravity and statistical mechanics and the existing views about the relation between information and complexity, we examine the evolution of complexity in an ever expanding universe.
متن کاملHow evolution guides complexity.
Long-standing debates about the role of natural selection in the growth of biological complexity over geological time scales are difficult to resolve from the paleobiological record. Using an evolutionary model-a computational ecosystem subjected to natural selection-we investigate evolutionary trends in an information-theoretic measure of the complexity of the neural dynamics of artificial age...
متن کاملLanguage-Driven, Technology-Enhanced Instructional Systems Design
In this paper we propose to extend the ADDIE (Analysis – Design – Development – Implementation – Evaluation) process for Instructional Systems Design (ISD) with a new linguistic layer. This layer allows developers to provide instructors with domain-specific languages to support and guide them through ISD. Instructors use the toolsets associated with these languages to produce technology-enhance...
متن کاملE2ml a Visual Instructional Design Language
The advent of technologies has changed our very idea of what a course is (Bates & Poole, 2003). Instructors in Higher Education are now daily supported by instructional designers or educational technology experts that provide advice for integrating Web-based activities, videoconference sessions, high-quality digital media presentations, etc. in their teaching activities. The process of designin...
