Global Mind Field – a Cybernetic Perspective
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper examines the process and outcomes of a workshop event Global Mind FIELD presented at ISEA2013, Sydney. The workshop was conducted and facilitated by Karen Casey and Harry Sokol, with assistants Damian Smith and James Power. The researchers aimed to initiate and test for instances of neural synchrony between participants using creative visual stimulus, enabled by proprietary software program Viseeg (Sokol/Casey) and wireless EEG (electroencephalograph) headsets (Emotiv). The paper further examines to what extent the process of neuro-feedback and the resulting neural synchrony produced through the ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ interfaces can be viewed as indicators of a cybernetic mode of practice.

Investigating the cybernetic status and its relationship with knowledge management from the perspective of the staff of Tehran School of Nursing and Midwifery
Introduction: Knowledge is an essential element of an organization to achieve competitive advantage and maximum results. At present, the implementation of knowledge management in the field of medicine and public health management to establish a research-based health center is a very important issue. In this regard, cybernetic management seeks to eliminate traditional and inefficient structures ...
متن کاملBrainwashing the cybernetic spectator: The Ipcress File, 1960s cinematic spectacle and the sciences of mind
This article argues that the mid-1960s saw a dramatic shift in how 'brainwashing' was popularly imagined, reflecting Anglo-American developments in the sciences of mind as well as shifts in mass media culture. The 1965 British film The Ipcress File (dir. Sidney J. Furie, starr. Michael Caine) provides a rich case for exploring these interconnections between mind control, mind science and media,...
متن کاملCybernetic principles in the systematic concept of hypothalamic feeding control.
Research on biological mechanisms of eating behavior and related disorders, such as obesity and anorexia nervosa, has become a large field of research in the last 15 years. With the discovery of peptides related to hypothalamic control of food intake (e.g. leptin and ghrelin) the search for the biological 'master key' of feeding control was renewed. As a result, mid-20th century biological conc...
متن کاملA cybernetic modeling framework for analysis of metabolic systems
We present a cybernetic perspective of metabolic systems, designed to take full account of regulatory processes, which profoundly influence the course of metabolism through dependence not only on the organism’s genomic constitution, but also on abiotic environmental influences. The cybernetic perspective relies on proposing “mechanisms” of choice behavior by which biological systems drive enzym...
