The shallows: what the Internet is doing to our brains

When Nicholas Carr posed that question, in a celebrated Atlantic Monthly cover story, he tapped into a well of anxiety about how the Internet is changing us. He also crystallized one of the most important debates of our time: As we enjoy the Nets bounties, are we sacrificing our ability to read and think deeply? Now, Carr expands his argument into the most compelling exploration of the Internets intellectual and cultural consequences yet published. As he describes how human thought has been shaped through the centuries by tools of the mindfrom the alphabet to maps, to the printing press, the clock, and the computerCarr interweaves a fascinating account of recent discoveries in neuroscience by such pioneers as Michael Merzenich and Eric Kandel. Our brains, the historical and scientific evidence reveals, change in response to our experiences. The technologies we use to find, store, and share information can literally reroute our neural pathways. Building on the insights of thinkers from Plato to McLuhan, Carr makes a convincing case that every information technology carries an intellectual ethica set of assumptions about the nature of knowledge and intelligence. He explains how the printed book served to focus our attention, promoting deep and creative thought. In stark contrast, the Internet encourages the rapid, distracted sampling of small bits of information from many sources. Its ethic is that of the industrialist, an ethic of speed and efficiency, of optimized production and consumptionand now the Net is remaking us in its own image. We are becoming ever more adept at scanning and skimming, but what we are losing is our capacity for concentration, contemplation, and reflection. Part intellectual history, part popular science, and part cultural criticism, The Shallows sparkles with memorable vignettesFriedrich Nietzsche wrestling with a typewriter, Sigmund Freud dissecting the brains of sea creatures, Nathaniel Hawthorne contemplating the thunderous approach of a steam locomotiveeven as it plumbs profound questions about the state of our modern psyche. This is a book that will forever alter the way we think about media and our minds.

This comprehensive volume brings together the essential background readings from philosophy, psychology, and linguistics, while providing a broad sampling of contemporary research. The first part of the book centers around the fall of the Classical Theory of Concepts in the face of attacks by W.V.O. Quine, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Eleanor Rosch, and others, emphasizing the emergence and development of the Prototype Theory and the controversies it spurred. The second part surveys a broad range of contemporary theories -- Neoclassical Theories, the Prototype Theory, the Theory-Theory, and Conceptual Atomism.

The author has obviously been swayed in his thinking by a number of modern representatives of the holistic doctrine, including Smuts, Adolf Meyer, William Stern, A. Meyer (the biologist of Hamburg), von Uexküll and Bertalanffy, as well as by theGestaltschool. He defines the organism as a dynamic whole whose direction is toward an increase in autonomy in a setting in which the organism is under autonomous and heteronomous influences. The effort to increase autonomy appears to be a goal, not in the strict teleologic but in the directional sense. Under this general definition of biologic total processes the psychologic functions of symbolization, perception, imagination, thinking, emotion, conation, etc., are defined. The biosphere is defined as the realm in which life takes place and is characterized by a system of tensions

Theory of communication. Part 1: The analysis of information

1946-11-01

Деннис Габор

Hitherto communication theory was based on two alternative methods of signal analysis. One is the description of the signal as a function of time; the other is Fourier analysis. Both … Hitherto communication theory was based on two alternative methods of signal analysis. One is the description of the signal as a function of time; the other is Fourier analysis. Both are idealizations, as the first method operates with sharply defined instants of time, the second with infinite wave-trains of rigorously defined frequencies. But our everyday experiences—especially our auditory sensations—insist on a description in terms of both time and frequency. In the present paper this point of view is developed in quantitative language. Signals are represented in two dimensions, with time and frequency as co-ordinates. Such two-dimensional representations can be called "information diagrams," as areas in them are proportional to the number of independent data which they can convey. This is a consequence of the fact that the frequency of a signal which is not of infinite duration can be defined only with a certain inaccuracy, which is inversely proportional to the duration, and vice versa. This "uncertainty relation" suggests a new method of description, intermediate between the two extremes of time analysis and spectral analysis. There are certain "elementary signals" which occupy the smallest possible area in the information diagram. They are harmonic oscillations modulated by a "probability pulse." Each elementary signal can be considered as conveying exactly one datum, or one "quantum of information." Any signal can be expanded in terms of these by a process which includes time analysis and Fourier analysis as extreme cases.These new methods of analysis, which involve some of the mathematical apparatus of quantum theory, are illustrated by application to some problems of transmission theory, such as direct generation of single sidebands, signals transmitted in minimum time through limited frequency channels, frequency modulation and time-division multiplex telephony.

Image and logic: a material culture of microphysics

It reveals how the ever-increasing scale and complexity of apparatus has distanced physicists from the very science which drew them into experimenting, and has fragmented microphysics into different technical traditions. At the beginning of this century, physics was usually done by a lone researcher who put together experimental apparatus on a benchtop. Now experiments are frequently larger than a city block, and experimental physicists lead very different lives - programming computers, working with industry, co-ordinating vast teams of scientists and engineers, and playing politics. The author describes how, as a result of these changes, the necessity for teamwork in operating multimillion-dollar machines has created dynamic trading zones, where instrument makers, theorists and experimentalists meet, share knowledge, and co-ordinate the extraordinarily diverse pieces of the culture of modern microphysics - work, machines, evidence and argument.

Art as a Social System

2000-09-01

Niklas Luhmann

This is the definitive analysis of art as a social and perceptual system by Germany's leading social theorist of the late twentieth century. It not only represents an important intellectual … This is the definitive analysis of art as a social and perceptual system by Germany's leading social theorist of the late twentieth century. It not only represents an important intellectual step in discussions of art—in its rigor and in its having refreshingly set itself the task of creating a set of distinctions for determining what counts as art that could be valid for those creating as well as those receiving art works—but it also represents an important advance in systems theory. Returning to the eighteenth-century notion of aesthetics as pertaining to the "knowledge of the senses," Luhmann begins with the idea that all art, including literature, is rooted in perception. He insists on the radical incommensurability between psychic systems (perception) and social systems (communication). Art is a special kind of communication that uses perceptions instead of language. It operates at the boundary between the social system and consciousness in ways that profoundly irritate communication while remaining strictly internal to the social. In seven densely argued chapters, Luhmann develops this basic premise in great historical and empirical detail. Framed by the general problem of art's status as a social system, each chapter elaborates, in both its synchronic and diachronic dimensions, a particular aspect of this problem. The consideration of art within the context of a theory of second-order observation leads to a reconceptualization of aesthetic form. The remaining chapters explore the question of the system's code, its function, and its evolution, concluding with an analysis of "self-description." Art as a Social System draws on a vast body of scholarship, combining the results of three decades of research in the social sciences, phenomenology, evolutionary biology, cybernetics, and information theory with an intimate knowledge of art history, literature, aesthetics, and contemporary literary theory. The book also engages virtually every major theorist of art and aesthetics from Baumgarten to Derrida.

Imagined spatial transformation of one's body.

Lawrence M. Parsons

From the History of Scientometric Citation Classifications. The First Two Works and Russophone Publications. Part 3

These classifications were developed based on the assumption that their application would make it possible to obtain more accurate data on both characteristics of cited documents and the very nature of scientific citation. They were also supposed to help refine information retrieval. The creation of such classifications is considered here in the context of the need for a correct understanding of the reflection of the properties of scientific documents by their citedness. In this work, the Russian-language articles on this topic published since 1976 and onwards are analyzed.

The monograph can be considered as a large encyclopedia of examples of the use of mathematical modeling methods and physical analogies to describe social objects. The review highlights two large blocks of information: the first contains attempts at philosophical, historical and methodological generalizations; the second introduces the reader to the mathematical apparatus and physical analogies that serve as the basis for models of social systems of varying levels of complexity. It is noted that the degree of formalization of social objects for the application of mathematical methods and the principles of applying the mathematical apparatus to describe them remain controversial issues.

But this ability is not limited to external agents – we also turn the lens for reading minds inward, reflecting on our own thoughts, emotions, and sense of self. Some processes involved in reasoning about minds may rely on shared mechanisms, while others may be specific to the agent under consideration. We developed a paradigm where participants performed either a mental state inference task or a control task targeting either another person presented onscreen or their own mind. Using fMRI and multi-voxel pattern analysis, we replicate a well-established self-other axis along the medial wall of prefrontal cortex: ventral regions selectively decoded mental state inference patterns for self, but not other, whereas more dorsal regions decoded mental state inference for both self and other, compared to control conditions. Posterior cingulate cortex, on the other hand, differentiated the target of mental state inference. Using a cross-classification analysis, we also found patterns in the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex, ventromedial prefrontal cortex, and right temporoparietal junction were sensitive to mental state reasoning in general, regardless of the target agent. These findings highlight one process reflecting reasoning specific to the agent and another reflecting the reasoning process itself.

The article examines the use of information technologies in modern scientific research. The emphasis is on modern digital tools such as big data processing systems, artificial intelligence, cloud services, and software for automating scientific analysis. Particular attention is paid to the impact of innovative technologies on the processes of collecting, processing and analyzing scientific data, which allows significantly increasing the efficiency and accuracy of research. The main tools and platforms for processing large amounts of information are discussed, such as software for statistical analysis, modeling, data visualization, as well as automation of scientific research and publication processes. The authors emphasize the importance of integrating information technologies into the educational process to train new generations of researchers, and also consider the prospects for using artificial intelligence and machine learning in science. The article also analyzes the problems arising from the rapid development of technology, including issues of data security, ethics in the use of technology, and the need for scientists to constantly update their knowledge. An analysis of the impact of IT on the efficiency of the research process, information accessibility, and interdisciplinary collaboration was conducted. The results of the study confirm that the integration of information technologies contributes to the acceleration of scientific progress and opens up new opportunities for the development of science in a globalized world.

Using previously obtained and partially published experimental data, give them a new interpretation in the context of the relationship between the perceptual and semantic components of the perception of letters and paired word combinations presented on the display screen. Hypothesis. The limitation of the duration of the perceptual-semantic act when reading words on the screen, caused by the short exposure time and the complexity of the outlines of the test letters, should lead to a discrepancy between the perceptual and semantic components of reading words on the screen, which will be expressed in the anticipatory perception of the semantic meanings of these words and, as a consequence, in the fragmentary perception of their letter composition. Methods and materials. The following letters were selected as test letters to identify the relationship between their perceptual and semantic discrimination on the display screen: &ldquo;Э&rdquo;, &ldquo;З&rdquo;, &ldquo;Ш&rdquo; and &ldquo;Щ&rdquo;. These letters were presented on the screen as part of: 1) four prototype words (with the correct letter composition), 2) as part of four fake words of the first type (with the test letter replaced by a test letter-substitution with similar outlines) and 3) four fake words of the second type (with the test letter replaced by another test letter with clearly different outlines). The exposure time was 0,3 s, 0,9 s and 1,45 s. The study involved 15 participants of both sexes aged 19 to 35 years. Results. The number of errors in perceiving test letters depends on the time of exposure to the screen and the complexity of the outlines of these letters. The greatest number of errors was observed when fake words of the first type were presented, which indicates the leading influence of the semantic component of perception, similar to the "word superiority effect". Conclusions. The data obtained suggest that scrolling or skimming, characteristic of digital reading, can lead to fragmentation of perceptual discrimination of the letter composition of the words being read and, as a consequence, provoke spelling illiteracy and/or clipped semantic and semantic perception of the text being read.

Using a computer program, the cosine measure of proximity and the semantic distance between these lists are found, a matrix of concept proximity is obtained, and clusterization of objects is carried out. At the same time, the closest concepts (clusters) are combined into one cluster, the weight of which is calculated by summing the weights of its constituent clusters. Similar methods have been used to study the semantic space around the concept of "information and cybernet-ic thinking", which is understood as a special way of explaining the functioning of in-formation and cybernetic systems, involving the allocation of information flows and control chains and the use of basic ideas of informatics and cybernetics. A graph is constructed, the vertices of which correspond to the concepts being studied, and the edges correspond to the connections between them. In addition, clouds of concepts semantically close to "informatics" and "cybernetics" is identified. The results obtained characterize the objective features of the semantic space, which are determined by the content and methodology of teaching the basics of informatics and cybernetics. The method used allows us to explore the semantic spaces of other fields of knowledge.

The purpose of the work is to study the management communication models in the editorial offices of Russian media. For the analysis, a qualitative research method was used based on focused interviews with the editors-in-chief of Sports.ru, Lenta.ru "Vokrug Sveta" and Parents.ru, as well as an analysis of the editorial structure of the media, following which our own models of management communications were proposed so that to help the publication not only build a system of continuous work in the editorial office, but also release a higher quality product daily, as well as quickly respond to the challenges of the Russian media market. It was found that a communication model depends on several factors, the most important of which is the size of the editorial office. The format of the media - online or print - can also be considered important. A number of communication models may expand in the future, and the emergence of new factors influencing the introduction of other communication models is also likely.

Theatre in Time and Time in Theatre. Tom Stoppard and Others

It is about the duration of the action, … The article examines the category of time in relation to theatrical art in its historical development and the change of stylistic eras. It is about the duration of the action, the volume of events depicted, and the understanding of time as a philosophical category. In the ancient era, myths suggested the perception of time as a resting duration. At the same time, the evolution of ancient Greek tragedy itself was associated with the process of formation of the concept of historical time, which fully manifested itself in the Renaissance in W. Shakespeare’s chronicles. On the stage of the 17th century, a classicist performance, the series of events of which covered one day, coexisted with mannerist and baroque, where a mixture of the real and the fantasy, the illusory and the actual immersed the action in a situation of elusive time bordering on eternity. In the 19th century, the desire to concentrate the action in time and space manifested itself again in the works of the new European drama. Moreover, if in the plays by H. Ibsen and A. Strindberg the movement of time is determined by the change of time of day, in the plays by A.P. Chekhov — by the change of seasons. The flow of time in them is irreversible, it moves in one direction only: from the past through the present to the future. With the appearance of H.G. Wells’s novel The Time Machine in 1895, a new idea of time in literature and art was born — it became a subjective category. The author illustrates this using the example of plays by F.G. Lorca, T. Wilder, J.B. Priestley, and E. O’Neill, in which time is condensed, concentrated, and easily runs forward and then returns back. A separate section of the article is devoted to the play by T. Stoppard Leopoldstadt, where the movement of the action determines the course of history itself, projected by the author onto his autobiography.

This idea is considered by … The article suggests that literature about cinema depends very much on cinema, and not only on its repertoire, but also on more significant, deeper issues. This idea is considered by the example of various types of books and magazines published in our country in different historical periods: the pre-revolutionary period, the Soviet period, and the post-Soviet period, which continues to this day. The first part of the article discusses the pre-revolutionary period of the Russian film press, the first examples of theoretical thought — the articles by Maxim Gorky and the books by Boleslav Matushevsky, and the appearance of the first specialized film magazines. The main part is devoted to the period of Soviet cinema, which was marked by the greatest number of technological and aesthetic achievements of Russian cinema, the appearance of works of cinematographic art and various types of printed products on cinema. The final part traces the modification of cinematographic publications in the post-Soviet period and their gradual integration into the technologies of the digital period.
