A discrete holographic model of neural memory in the context of invarient perception and recognition
This thesis addresses various aspects of perception and memory in terms of the underlying neural dynamics. Not dealt with explicitly are some of the philosophical issues concerning the relation of mind and brain. The nature of the connection between neural and mental phenomena is a controversial …

The spectral imagination: American art between science and superstition in the late nineteenth century
… explores how tensions between science and superstition were embedded in and constitutive of the visual arts in late nineteenth-century America. By focusing on the work of artists Henry Alexander (1860–94), William Merritt Chase (1849–1916), Edwin Romanzo Elmer (1850–1923), and Irving …

Psychology and the Theatre: A Qualitative Experiment in Actor Training
Psychology and theatre have a remarkable amount in common. In using the basic concepts and theories of psychology, actors can develop more concrete, logical approaches to characters. This thesis is a summation of the course I developed, "Psychology and the Theatre," which was an attempt to teach …

Computational chunking in Chess
Adriaan de Groot, the Dutch psychologist and chess Master, argued that “perception and memory are more important differentiators of chess expertise than the ability to look ahead in selecting a chess move” (Groot 1978). A component of expertise in chess has been attributed to the expert having …

River Run
… the water courses that I have grown up in and around. I wanted to look deeper than the obvious, to look at how the environment and my engagement with it has changed, though my affinity with the waters has not. ‘River Run’ is a flow of consciousness throughout the whole that does not form a …

Confabulation
<p>I create work that is an investigation of memory- individual memories from a single location over a span of time. Over time, these individual memories are layered on top of each other to become remembered as one. When the boundaries between the original and successive memories become unstable …

The neural and psychophysical bases of memorability
… work has shown that people tend to remember and forget the same images. This is because these images differ in their memorability - a predictive value of whether an image is likely to be later remembered or not. However, the properties of memorability and its effects in the brain are …

Revealing mnemonic representations of the body in the brain
Current accounts in the memory field suggest that perceptual mechanisms underpin both perception and memory processes. The overlap between perceptual and mnemonic mechanisms has been mainly shown when processing arbitrary stimuli (e.g., shapes and colours). Nevertheless, it still unclear how more …

Spatiotemporal Neural Dynamics of Audiovisual Perception and Cross-modal Mental Imagery
… multisensory events that contain both visual and auditory information. However, how the neural activity and representations unfold during the perception of naturalistic audiovisual stimuli remains less understood. Beyond perception, we often recall past experiences and reconstruct them through …

Bridging the Gap: Generative Machines and Inventive Minds
… the human experience by enabling the capture and reproduction of our sensory world. These technologies allow us to relive experiences through artifacts of remarkable fidelity like photographs and videos, extending the reach of our perception and memory. Of course, we didn’t stop at the …
