چکیده
This essay describes the author’s experiences in living with laboratory mice, and investigates how these can function as a starting point for building new relations mice. Laboratory mice are not often studied to learn more about They seen replaceable, only useful humans. challenges this by drawing attention their ways of being, individuality, sense community, practices care, creating meaning. The first part text mainly exists stories lives, give an impression what kind beings they are. It then turns relate existing views political dimensions mice-human relations. interactions be dialogues that disrupt deliberations about, through human interventions public debate, show us something we work towards multispecies communities. aim is provide full account it means mouse, or live justly. In order explore that, society would need change. offer steps thinking differently. addition text, photographs used emphasize mice’s personalities agency.

Perceptual learning: learning to see.
Perceptual learning in vision has been found to be highly specific for simple stimulus attributes, implying highly specific modifications in the nervous system. The type of specificity found (location, orientation, eye) implied plasticity at very early stages of visual processing, where processing modules were believed to be hard-wired and task independent. Recent studies show, however, that le...
متن کاملLearning to see words.
Skilled reading requires recognizing written words rapidly; functional neuroimaging research has clarified how the written word initiates a series of responses in visual cortex. These responses are communicated to circuits in ventral occipitotemporal (VOT) cortex that learn to identify words rapidly. Structural neuroimaging has further clarified aspects of the white matter pathways that communi...
متن کاملLearning to see inequity in science.
I have often wondered whether I have persisted as a scientist in part because I was not a very keen observer of inequity in science during my education and early career. It was rather late in my scientific training that I began to see inequities in science, which I’ll loosely define here as unfairness or injustice that is linked to an individual’s personal characteristics such as gender, cultur...
متن کاملVisual Development: Learning Not to See
A recent study shows that young infants are sensitive to image differences that older children and adults cannot detect. Learning not to notice such image differences is crucial for developing a visual system that recognizes materials correctly.
متن کاملLearning to see random-dot stereograms.
In the present study some specific properties of the learning effects reported for random-dot stereograms are examined. In experiment 1 the retinal position-specific learning effect was reproduced and in a follow-up experiment it was shown that the position specificity of learning can be accounted for by selective visual attention. In experiments 2 and 3 evidence was obtained that suggests that...
