This book aims to present a summary of research approaches developed, and even current, on two of the themes that since the 1980s aroused my interest, as an artist with synaesthesia, engraving and stamping systems, painter and video artist, but mainly as a researcher teacher at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Granada from the 2007/08 academic year, applying the concept of synaesthesia and ideaetheia in my teaching, to enhance creative abilities (teaching innovation projects and experimental workshops), as well as the survey path about possible synesthetes among university students, started in the Faculty of Educational Sciences of the University of Granada in 2006, Faculty of Psychology of the University of Granada, and in other Educational Centers and Universities of Spain (they are still being carried out at present) . Research projects whose approaches have been revised, sometimes continuously redesigned. The results and conclusions have been disseminated in specialized editions and also in other countries, since 2005, through articles and participation in international congresses, which have aroused interest in other national and international teachers. Reason why I also decided to publish this book, so that it serves as support to other educational researchers who want to apply the resources created for research on synesthesia, and innovative educational methods The work was presented in the year 2017 in the University of Granada for the defense of my position of University Holder. With the hope that it will inspire or support other researchers and / or awaken interest, I greet potential readers and publicly express my gratitude to each and every one of the collaborators (research members of the international foundation artecittà) I have had and have worked with me throughout all of these years.

"[This] magnificent critical survey, with its inherent respect for both the 'Westt's mainstream high culture' and the 'radically changing world' of the 1990s, offers a new breakthrough for lay and scholarly readers alike....Allows readers to grasp the big picture of Western culture for the first time." SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE Here are the great minds of Western civilization and their pivotal ideas, from Plato to Hegel, from Augustine to Nietzsche, from Copernicus to Freud. Richard Tarnas performs the near-miracle of describing profound philosophical concepts simply but without simplifying them. Ten years in the making and already hailed as a classic, THE PASSION OF THE WESERN MIND is truly a complete liberal education in a single volume.

These nine essays, commissioned on the initiative of the Philosophy section of the British Academy, address fundamental questions about time in philosophy, physics, linguistics, and psychology. Are there facts about the future? Could we affect the past? In physics, general relativity and quantum theory give contradictory treatments of time. So in the current search for a theory of quantum gravity, which should give way: general relativity or quantum theory? In linguistics and psychology, how does our language represent time, and how do our minds keep track of it?

Intended for use by advanced undergraduate, graduate and medical students, this book presents a study of the unique biochemical and physiological properties of neurons, emphasising the molecular mechanisms that generate and regulate their activity.

Ignacio Matte-Blanco has made one of the most original contributions to psychoanalysis since Freud. In this book, which includes an introductory chapter to his work by Eric Rayner and David Tuckett, he develops his conceptualization of the Freudian unconscious in terms of logic and mathematics, giving many clinical examples.

The thirty original contributions in this book provide a working definition of"computational neuroscience" as the area in which problems lie simultaneously within computerscience and neuroscience. They review this emerging field in historical and philosophical overviewsand in stimulating summaries of recent results. Leading researchers address the structure of thebrain and the computational problems associated with describing and understanding this structure atthe synaptic, neural, map, and system levels.The overview chapters discuss the early days of thefield, provide a philosophical analysis of the problems associated with confusion between brainmetaphor and brain theory, and take up the scope and structure of computationalneuroscience.Synaptic-level structure is addressed in chapters that relate the properties ofdendritic branches, spines, and synapses to the biophysics of computation and provide a connectionbetween real neuron architectures and neural network simulations.The network-level chapters take upthe preattentive perception of 3-D forms, oscillation in neural networks, the neurobiologicalsignificance of new learning models, and the analysis of neural assemblies and local learningrides.Map-level structure is explored in chapters on the bat echolocation system, cat orientationmaps, primate stereo vision cortical cognitive maps, dynamic remapping in primate visual cortex, andcomputer-aided reconstruction of topographic and columnar maps in primates.The system-level chaptersfocus on the oculomotor system VLSI models of early vision, schemas for high-level vision,goal-directed movements, modular learning, effects of applied electric current fields on corticalneural activity neuropsychological studies of brain and mind, and an information-theoretic view ofanalog representation in striate cortex.Eric L.
