What began as an answer to the question “What is life?” has become an encompassing explanatory network that includes living, cognition, languaging, and emotioning. In October 2010 we decided to collect contributions to find indications of the fruitfulness of Maturana’s work across disciplines. In our call for papers, we were looking for articles dealing with these questions: 1 What are the applications of Maturana’s work in various domains of inquiry and action, including both the humanities and the natural sciences? 2 What are the potential extensions and expansions of the notions and concepts implicit in Maturana’s work? 3 What can be said about Maturana’s work in historical and cultural perspectives, i.e., how does his epistemology fit into a historic view, or fit with current cultural and ethical views? 4 The result of our endeavor is a c... read full post THIS SOURCE : ReadWriteWeb is one of the most popular technology blogs in the world, known for offering insightful analysis about each day's Internet industry news. ___ Follow more SOCIAL CURRENT SEE at TRUVIA : TECH : http://bit.ly/oPuM6x My intent in this essay is to reflect on the history of some biological notions such as autopoiesis, structural coupling, and cognition, that I have developed since the early 1960’s as a result of my work on visual perception and the organization of the living. No doubt I shall repeat things that I have said in other publications (Maturana & Varela, 1980, 1988), and I shall present notions that once they are said appear as obvious truisms. Moreover, I shall refine or expand the meaning of such notions, or even modify them. Yet, in any case, the reader is not invited to attend to the truisms, or to what seems to be obvious, rather he or she is invited to attend to the consequences that those notions entail for the understanding of cognition as a biological process. After all, explanations or demonstrations always become self evident once they are understood and accepted, and the purpose of this essay is the expansion of understanding in all dimensions of human existence. Recent advances in neuroscience are highlighting connections between emotion, social functioning, and decision making that have the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the role of affect in education. In particular, the neurobiological evidence suggests that the aspects of cognition that we recruit most heavily in schools, namely learning, attention, memory, decision making, and social functioning, are both profoundly affected by and subsumed within the processes of emotion; we call these aspects emotional thought. Moreover, the evidence from brain-damaged patients suggests the hypothesis that emotion-related processes are required for skills and knowledge to be transferred from the structured school environment to real-world decision making because they provide an emotional rudder to guide judgment and action. Taken together, the evidence we present sketches an account of the neurobiological underpinnings of morality, creativity, and culture, all topics of critical i... read full post Apples boost memory- Apples and apple juice may be one of the best fruits according to new research that claims apple products can help boost brain function similar to medication. The findings indicate that consumption of antioxidant-rich foods such as apples and apple juice can help reduce problems associated with memory loss. Apples possess a unique mix of antioxidants that improve cognition and memory via inhibition of oxidation in the brain. Medications given to humans with Alzheimer's disease have been shown to inhibit the production of specific enzymes (cholinesterase inhibitors) that break down acetylcholine in the brain. Cloudy Apple juice is rich in antioxidants - Cloudy apple juice is four times healthier than the clear variety. http://www.healthji.com/blog/food-for-thought/Apples.html |
