Cognitive Science At UC Berkeley: What Is CogSci?

http://ls.berkeley.edu/ugis/cogsci/major/about.php

Extractions: UGIS UC Berkeley Home Major ... Resources What is Cognitive Science? Cognitive Science is an interdisciplinary field that has arisen during the past decade at the intersection of a number of existing disciplines, including psychology, linguistics, computer science, philosophy, and physiology. The shared interest that has produced this coalition is understanding the nature of the mind. This quest is an old one, dating back to antiquity in the case of philosophy, but new ideas are emerging from the fresh approach of Cognitive Science. Previously, each discipline sought to understand the mind from its own perspective, benefiting little from progress in other fields because of different methods employed. With the advent of Cognitive Science, however, common interests and theoretical ideas have overcome methodological differences, and interdisciplinary interaction has become the hallmark of this field. The intellectual developments that paved the way for Cognitive Science began in the 1940s and 1950s. The most significant events were outgrowths of the conceptual invention (via mathematical description) of computer machines by the British mathematician, Alan Turing, in 1950. The first digital computers also known as "universal Turing machines" were built shortly thereafter. Turing and others soon realized that these computers could be programmed to perform complex "intellectual" tasks previously performed only by humans, tasks such as playing chess, proving mathematical theorems, and understanding language.
Neurosemiotics.com - Semiotics Of Thinking
Several articles on neurosemiotics, the merging of neuroscience and semiotics, brain and mind research combining with the study of signs.
http://www.neurosemiotics.com

Extractions: Contact Us Thinking is a production of signs. If for a long time the subject has been held for the sole productor of these signs, it is now admitted that the subject itself, Ego and all, is the symbolic product of thinking. And if the human brain produces signs, what we have called spirit or unified consciousness are a modality of the materially existing physical body. The vocabulary C.S. Peirce has given us accounts for the functionning of thinking. By relationing the sign triad of icon index and symbol to the binary opposition between existence and essence The logical icon is used as a ground, a sort of idea to which the sign refers (1.551; 2.228), for the production of a sign of essence (e.g. a common noun, 2.260), while what we call the analogical icon is used as a ground for the production of a sign of existence (e.g. a colour seen by inner vision). What goes for signs in general is also valid for mental signs. When thinking performs symbolization, the production of mental signs is submitted to the law of reductive or logical iconicity; when thinking performs indexicalization, it is submitted to the law of instaurative or analogical iconicity.

The Thinking Meat Project

Extractions: Exploring what it means to be thinking matter August 25th, 2010 by Mary Brainstorm: Harnessing the Power of Productive Obsessions , by Eric Maisel and Ann Maisel. , in which he encouraged depressed creative people to work through the depression by focusing on how they were creating meaning through their work. The basic idea was that depression is what fills your heart when the meaning has leaked out, so the key to keeping it at bay is to never take meaning for granted, but to cultivate it assiduously. Brainstorm is more of a how-to manual for the care and feeding of projects that can give life meaning. The idea behind a productive obsession is that it gives your brain something to focus on, something that will help you channel your mental energies into something more productive than the hamster-wheel spinning of worries, fears, or regrets that can sap your energy. A productive obsession can be just about anything: writing a novel, creating a series of paintings, launching a business or a nonprofit, solving some scientific or technical problem, or resolving some vexing personal dilemma like how to balance your work and your family or how to care for an aging relative. The key thing is to find something to which you can commit yourself wholeheartedly and that will repay your sustained attention. The book is structured loosely around the progress of a typical productive obsession. It describes identifying the thing that will most happily occupy and focus your brain, clearing the decks for action, mustering the discipline to succeed, and dealing with rough patches. The successful completion of your project is then only the beginning of the next obsession. Each chapter closes with a few paragraphs of more specific counsel: suggestions for dealing with obstacles, bits of insight into the process, words of encouragement, success stories for inspiration. The book closes with an appendix about how to start your own productive obsession group online in which you can find and offer encouragement and swap stories.
