Cyborg intelligence is an emerging kind of intelligence paradigm. It aims to deeply integrate machine intelligence with biological intelligence by connecting machines and living beings via neural interfaces, enhancing strength by combining the biological cognition capability with the machine computational capability. Cyborg intelligence is considered to be a new way to augment living beings wit...

Nostalgia fulfills pivotal functions for individuals, but lacks an empirically derived and comprehensive definition. We examined lay conceptions of nostalgia using a prototype approach. In Study 1, participants generated open-ended features of nostalgia, which were coded into categories. In Study 2, participants rated the centrality of these categories, which were subsequently classified as cen...

T he common housefly is a marvel of aeronautical engineering. One reason the fly is a master at evading the handheld swatter is that its wings beat remarkably fast—about 200 times a second. To achieve this amazing speed, the fly makes use of complex biomechanics. Its wings are not directly attached to the muscles of the thorax. Rather the fly tenses and relaxes the muscles in rhythmic cycles th...

Applying technologies into the human body makes a hybrid human/machine: cyborg. We identified four types of cyborgs in literature: original cyborg, enhanced temporarily for space exploration, science-fiction “Haraway cyborg” used to critic dualisms and “everyday who became one by necessity, learns live with implanted technologies. propose this article fifth version: biocyborg. Such cyborg prese...

The article is devoted to the analysis of ontic dispositions modern reality. reality post-, smart-, cyber-reality semi-artificial semi-living post-human cyborg. Imperatives that have been funding cultural and space man for thousands years, such as pain, fear, desire pleasure, death, etc., are no longer in zone sacred or metaphysical, but rather sphere planned pragmatically oriented technology. ...

This paper advocates a re-introduction of the notion of cyborg in order to acquire a new perspective on studies concerning the development of human cognition in highly technological environments. In particular, we will show how the notion of cyborg properly engages cognitive issues that have a powerful resonance especially as far as social cognition is concerned, and may consequently provide a ...

A survey was designed to assess nostalgia for 20 aspects of experience as well as relative judgments of the world past, present, and future. Surveys were completed by 648 respondents, 268 males and 380 females, ranging in age from 4 to 80 years old. Split-half reliability was .78. Test-retest reliability over a 1-wk. interval on a separate sample of 50 respondents was .84. Nostalgia was related...
