Free Download Cybernetics, Human Cognition, and Machine Learning in Communicative Applications
English | 2025 | ISBN: 9819785324 | 700 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 61 MB
This book presents the fascinating intersection of human cognition and artificial intelligence. Written by leading experts in the fields of cybernetics, cognitive science, and machine learning, this book seeks to bridge the gap between these disciplines and explores the synergies that emerge when humans and machines work together. The book examines the challenges posed by biased data, lack of transparency, and the "black box" nature of some machine learning algorithms. It proposes novel ways to address these issues and foster greater trust and accountability in AI systems. Drawing on cutting-edge research and real-world case studies, it presents a comprehensive and forward-looking perspective on the future of AI and its impact on society. In conclusion, this book offers a compelling exploration of the synergy between human cognition and machine learning, providing insights that are relevant to scholars, researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in the transformative potential of artificial intelligence.

Free Download Emiliano Ippoliti, "Model-Based Reasoning, Abductive Cognition, Creativity: Inferences and Models in Science, Logic, Language, and Technolog"
English | ISBN: 3031692993 | 2024 | 520 pages | PDF | 8 MB
This book discusses how scientific and other types of cognition make use of models, abduction, and explanatory reasoning in order to produce important, innovative, and possibly creative changes in theories and concepts. Gathering revised contributions presented at the international conference on Model-Based Reasoning (MBR023), held on June 7-9, 2023 in Rome, Italy, the book addresses various intertwined topics ranging from the epistemology and applications of models also concerning the problem of knowledge production and scientific methodology (information visualization, experimental methods, and design) to the analysis of their role in cognition, decision-making, also with respect to social implications. The problem of model-based cognition is also illustrated taking advantage of recent results regarding problem-solving, abduction, and logic, paying attention to a critique of the dominant and received approaches, to the aim of fostering new discussions and stimulate new ideas. All in all, the book provides researchers and graduate students in the fields of applied philosophy, epistemology, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence alike with an authoritative snapshot of the latest theories and applications of model-based reasoning.

Free Download Marta Bertolaso, "The Hand: Perception, Cognition, Action "
English | ISBN: 3319668803 | 2017 | 202 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Drawing on shared research experiences and collaborative projects, this book offers a broad and timely perspective on research on the hand and its current challenges. It especially emphasizes the interdisciplinary context in which researchers need to be trained in contemporary science. From language to psychology, from neurology to the social sciences, and from art to philosophy and religion, the chapters discuss various aspects involved in hand research and therapy. On the basis of concrete and validated case studies, they approach hand function and gestures from different perspectives – not only neurological and medical, but also philosophical, evolutionary and anthropological. By highlighting the overlaps between different areas of research, the book seeks to foster better communication between researchers, and ultimately a better understanding of hand function and its recovery. It offers essential information and inspirations for students, researchers and practitioners in the fields of psychology, epistemology, bioengineering, neuroscience, anthropology and bioethics.

Free Download Maarten Coegnarts, "Embodied Cognition and Cinema"
English | ISBN: 9462700281 | 2015 | 336 pages | PDF | 17 MB
The embodied cognition thesis claims that cognitive functions cannot be understood without making reference to the interactions among the brain, the body, and the environment. The meaning of abstract concepts is grounded in concrete experiences. This book explores the impact of the embodied cognition thesis on the scientific study of film. The authors analyze the main aspects of film (narrative, style, music, sound, time, the viewer, emotion, perception, ethics, the frame) from an embodied perspective. By combining insights from various disciplines such as cognitive film theory, conceptual metaphor theory, and cognitive neuroscience, they show how the process of making meaning in film is embodied and how empathy and embodied simulation play a role in understanding the way in which the viewer interacts with the film.
