All'inizio di questa nuova indagine troviamo l'ormai amato Roger Sheringham in procinto di incontrare il Capo Ispettore Moresby per pranzo. Roger lo definisce "mantenere i contatti con Scotland Yard", mentre Scotland Yard lo vede più come "Mr Sheringham in cerca di informazioni". Proprio mentre si stanno per dirigere al ristorante, ricevono una chiamata su un caso: Adelaide Barnett, una ricca zitella, viene trovata assassinata nel suo appartamento all'ultimo piano di Monmouth Mansions.

Encyclopedia of Computational Neuroscience, Second Edition by Dieter Jaeger, Ranu Jung
English | PDF (True) | 2022 | 3703 Pages | ISBN : 107161004X | 131.3 MB

The annual Computational Neuroscience Meeting (CNS) began in 1990 as a small workshop called Analysis and Modeling of Neural Systems. The goal of the workshop was to explore the boundary between neuroscience and computation. Riding on the success of several seminal papers, physicists had made "Neural Networks" fashionable, and soon the quantitative methods used in these abstract model networks started permeating the methods and ideas of experimental neuroscientists. Although experimental neurophysiological approaches provided many advances, it became increasingly evident that mathematical and computational techniques would be required to achieve a comprehensive and quantitative understanding of neural system function. “Computational Neuroscience” emerged to complement experimental neurophysiology. The Encyclopedia of Computational Neuroscience, published in conjunction with the Organization for Computational Neuroscience, will be an extensive reference work consultable by both researchers and graduate level students. It will be a dynamic, living reference, updatable and containing linkouts and multimedia content whenever relevant.

Quattro ipotesi sull'origine del linguaggio. Dalla comunicazione animale alla parola - Lorenzo Pinna

Quattro ipotesi sull'origine del linguaggio. Dalla comunicazione animale alla parola - Lorenzo Pinna
Italiano | 2024 | 208 Pages | ASIN: B0D4XV1XC7 | EPUB | 1.06 MB

Frutto di un intreccio di evoluzione biologica ed evoluzione culturale, il linguaggio umano non è solo un mezzo di comunicazione ma anche un potente strumento di rappresentazione, e quindi di controllo e manipolazione, della realtà. Uno strumento che solo l'essere umano ha sviluppato e che per questo motivo costituisce un elemento centrale della nostra natura. Eppure, nonostante questa centralità e nonostante la grande quantità di ricerche condotte sul tema, sappiamo ancora poco della sua origine. Non abbiamo una spiegazione, ma negli ultimi decenni sono emerse alcune ipotesi, che a loro volta hanno aperto nuove prospettive in molti campi del sapere, dall'etologia cognitiva alla filosofia della mente, dalle neuroscienze alla biologia evolutiva, dalla paleoantropologia all'informatica.

Storia della fatica. Dal Medioevo a oggi - Georges Vigarello
Italiano | 2024 | 528 Pages | ISBN: 8842834335 | EPUB | 2.56 MB

"Storia della fatica" è un'esplorazione della stanchezza attraverso le epoche e le culture: una narrazione in cui si incrociano i cambiamenti delle nostre strutture socio-lavorative e quelli riguardanti i corpi e l'auto-percezione, l'impatto della guerra e la nascita ed evoluzione dell'attività sportiva. Dal lavoratore medievale chino a vangare la terra fino all'impiegato ingobbito sulla scrivania o risucchiato dallo schermo di un pc, il modo in cui definiamo la fatica ha sempre detto molto del rapporto che abbiamo con noi stessi, con gli altri e con il nostro organismo.

Blu, bianco e rosso - Krzysztof Kieślowski
Italiano | 2024 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 8842835161 | EPUB | 1.45 MB

Quando hanno chiesto a Krzysztof Kieślowski il motivo per cui ha scelto di fare cinema, la risposta è stata: «Non so fare altro». Blu, bianco e rosso è il racconto in prima persona di questa radicale presa di coscienza lunga tutta una vita: un viaggio introspettivo in cui si intrecciano storia privata e collettiva, che ci conduce a scoprire il mistero nascosto dietro ogni inquadratura del regista polacco. Al centro dei film di Kieślowski c'è sempre stata l'umanità. Un'umanità spesso velata di dolore e miseria, ma comunque nobile nei suoi tentativi, anche maldestri, di trovare un senso all'esistenza.
