The singular revolution in cognitive science and education that is changing how we think about intelligence and the human mind. Now, in this dynamic presentation for the classroom, Howard Gardner presents MI theory and reveals what is at stake--for learning, understanding, and assessment. Setting his presentation within a sweeping history of changing ideas about the human brain and the nature of 'mental representations', Gardner powerfully contrasts...

Wolf considers the future of the reading brain and our capacity for critical thinking, empathy and reflection as we become increasingly dependent upon digital technologies. A decade ago, Wolf's Proust and the Squid revealed what we know about how the brain learns to read and how reading changes the way we think and feel. Now that we are completely immersed in the internet and digital devices, our ways of processing language have altered dramatically....

About the Game. This game is all about consciousness and the philosophies of science. The game displaying consciousness can give pleasure, as can the player becoming conscious of what they are doing in the game. Since the main objectives in video games are always to be conscious, and the most scientific video game would be about the fundamental pieces of our universe, we will play as though any of them have or need to get some form of consciousness....

Most of us have no idea what's really going on inside our heads. Yet brain scientists have uncovered details every business leader, parent, and teacher should know like the need for physical activity to get your brain working its best. How do we learn? What exactly do sleep and stress do to our brains? Why is multi-tasking a myth? Why is it so easy to forget and so important to repeat new knowledge? Is it true that men and women have different brains?...

When you realize what a corridor is, mind traveling becomes easy. You see, the entire universe is made of invisible layers of parallel corridors. In fact, you are living inside the primary one right now; all the other corridors are just empty prototypes. In fact, they may or may not ever be used, but you can switch your thoughts into one that is nearby. It is what you do every time you think. Sometimes you may run into someone else in a parallel corridor.The...

Qui sommes-nous? Que pouvons-nous savoir? Que nous est-il permis d'espérer? En réfléchissant à ces trois questions classiques, Noam Chomsky présente dans cet essai un tour d'horizon de l'ensemble de sa pensée. Revenant sur sa conception du langage et de l'esprit, puis de la société et de la politique, Noam Chomsky conclut son brillant exposé par un plaidoyer pour ce qu'il appelle le «socialisme libertaire», qu'il lie à l'anarchisme et...

"For millennia, we have viewed thinking and feeling as fundamentally opposed processes. According to this persistent, age-old belief, to truly live well we must marshal our logical and rational capacities to master our emotions. This perceived dichotomy lies at the heart of our historical pursuits in theology, philosophy, and psychology. But extraordinary advances in psychology and neuroscience, including neuroimaging and other related technologies,...
