This article provides a review of the human intervention literature that has examined the influence of fitness training on cognition, well-being, brain structure, and brain function. Meta-analyses of this literature, which are reviewed here, suggest robust effects of fitness training on cognition and well-being. Although there are currently few human intervention studies that have examined fitn...

Despite several decades of research, our knowledge of the long-term course of schizophrenia (SZ) is hampered by a lack of homogeneity of both research methods and phenotypic definitions of SZ's course. We provide a comprehensive review of the course of SZ by applying stringent methodological and diagnostic study-selection criteria. We report on positive and negative symptoms, cognition, and fin...

Physically-active video games ('exergames') have recently gained popularity for leisure and entertainment purposes. Using exergames to combine physical activity and cognitively-demanding tasks may offer a novel strategy to improve cognitive functioning. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to establish effects of exergames on overall cognition and specific cognitive...

We describe a 3-layer architecture for an automated Real-Time Strategy game player. In these kinds of games, opponent players create and manage large armies of units to defeat one another requiring strategic thinking. Players give commands asynchronously, requiring rapid thinking and reaction. Our 3-layer architecture builds on current automated players for these kinds of games, which focuses o...

Open environments are characterized by their uncertainty and non-determinism. This poses an inevitable challenge to the construction of agents operating in such environments. The agents need to adapt their processing to available resources, deadlines, the goal criteria specified by the clients as well as their current problem solving context in order to survive. Our research focuses on construc...

Knowledge Management (KM) concerns innovating, spreading, sharing and using of knowledge assets. Dynamic knowledge flow management consists of cognition-compliant knowledge transferring and propagation for facilitating problem solving, which is a novel research issue in the KM domain. In this paper, the cognition is treated as the reflection-based knowledge Knowledge flow management supporting ...

The Turing-inspired Meta-morphogenesis project begun in 2011 was partly motivated by deep gaps in our understanding of mathematical cognition and other aspects of human and non-human intelligence and our inability to model them. The project attempts to identify previously unnoticed evolutionary transitions in biological information processing related to gaps in our current understanding of cogn...
