Figuring Out Art History

World population and the number of cultural artifacts are growing exponentially or faster, while cultural interaction approaches the fidelity of a global nervous system. Every day hundreds of millions of images are loaded into social networks by users all over the world. As this myriad of new artifacts veils the view into the past, like city lights covering the night sky, it is easy to forget t...

Facts and Figuring: An Experimental Investigation of Network Structure and Performance in Information and Solution Spaces

Knowledge work in organizations, by definition, leverages contributions of many individuals to solve problems too complex for a single individual to tackle alone (e.g., Argote, McEvily, and Reagans, 2003). In organizations, such problem solving occurs not just at the individual level but also at the organizational level, expertise therefore becomes the core organizational asset, and superior an...

Figuring Space by Time

Sensory information is encoded both in space and in time. Spatial encoding is based on the identity of activated receptors, while temporal encoding is based on the timing of activation. In order to generate accurate internal representations of the external world, the brain must decode both types of encoded information, even when processing stationary stimuli. We review here evidence in support ...
