How could the body influence our thinking when it seems obvious that the brain controls the body?

Evolution has resulted in highly developed abilities in many natural intelligences to quickly and accurately predict mechanical phenomena. Humans have successfully developed laws of physics to abstract and model such mechanical phenomena. In the context of artificial intelligence, a recent line of work has focused on estimating physical parameters based on sensory data and use them in physical ...

Crowdsourcing platforms such as Amazon Mechanical Turk have become popular for a wide variety of human intelligence tasks; however, quality control continues to be a significant challenge. Recently, we propose TURKONTROL, a theoretical model based on POMDPs to optimize iterative, crowdsourced workflows. However, they neither describe how to learn the model parameters, nor show its effectiveness...

Hence, there is a need for the ventilator, in general, to provide for both spontaneous and mandatory breaths on an intermittent basis. This was the motivation for inventing IMV in the first place, as Kacmarek and Branson mentioned in their paper.1 How does recognition of only type 1 IMV (as in the article by Kacmarek and Branson1) impair our understanding of modes? There are only 3 basic goals ...
