  • Perception-Action Cycle

    Models, Architectures, and Hardware

    Edited by Vassilis Cutsuridis, Amir Hussain, John G. Taylor ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    The perception-action cycle is the circular flow of information that takes place between the organism and its environment in the course of a sensory-guided sequence of behaviour towards a goal. Each action causes changes in the environment that are analyzed bottom-up through the perceptual hierarchy and lead to the processing of further action, top-down through the executive hierarchy, toward ...

  • Non-fibrillar Amyloidogenic Protein Assemblies - Common Cytotoxins Underlying Degenerative Diseases

    Edited by Farid Rahimi, Gal Bitan ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Amyloid-forming proteins are implicated in over 30 human diseases. The proteins involved in each disease have unrelated sequences and dissimilar native structures, but they all undergo conformational alterations to form fibrillar polymers. The fibrillar assemblies accumulate progressively into disease-specific lesions in vivo. Substantial evidence suggests these lesions are the end state of ... Read more

  • Exploring Frontiers of the Mind-Brain Relationship

    Edited by Alexander Moreira-Almeida, Franklin Santana Santos ...
    Series series Behavioral Science and Psychology (R0)
    The conscious mind defines human existence. Many consider the brain as a computer, and they attempt to explain consciousness as emerging at a critical, but unspecified, threshold level of complex computation among neurons. The brain-as-computer model, however, fails to account for phenomenal experience and portrays consciousness as an impotent, after-the-fact epiphenomenon lacking causal power. ... Read more
