A tour of the theory of absolutely minimizing functions
2004
A detailed analysis of the class of absolutely minimizing functions in Euclidean spaces and the relationship to the infinity Laplace equation
Self-modeling epistemic spaces and the contraction principle
2020
What Graziano and colleagues describe as the “attention schema” really is one special case of what I have called the “phenomenal model of the intentionality relation” (PMIR) since 1993 (Metzinger, ...
The Applications of Cognitive Mechanism of Verbal Humour to the Adjustment of Depressive Mood
2018
Aims: To apply the findings of neurolinguistic research to the practical technological artifact design, the cognitive mechanism of verbal humour is comprehensively investigated and designed with EEG-based Brain Computer interfaces and Mobile Health, under the guidance of technology design theory, to help with the adjustment of depressive mood. Application Base: The intervention effect of verbal humour on depressive mood is rooted in their cognitive mechanisms. The right hemisphere of the brain has a dominant effect on both verbal humour and depressive mood; some specific brain regions, such as amygdala, nucleus accumbens, hippocampus etc., are particularly activated during the processing of…

Abstract This article discusses a hypothesis recently put forward by Kanai et al., according to which information generation constitutes a functional basis of, and a sufficient condition for, consciousness. Information generation involves the ability to compress and subsequently decompress information, potentially after a temporal delay and adapted to current purposes. I will argue that information generation should not be regarded as a sufficient condition for consciousness, but could serve as what I will call a “minimal unifying model of consciousness.” A minimal unifying model (MUM) specifies at least one necessary feature of consciousness, characterizes it in a determinable way, and sho…
Puentes entre la Lingüística computacional y la Psicolingüística
2011
[EN] Cognitive sciences have assumed that there can be relationships between various disciplines such as Philosophy, Linguistics, Anthropology, Artificial Intelligence, or Psychology. This work aims to make explicit these relations between the Psycholinguistics and Computational Linguistics.

Triangular Bézier Surfaces of Minimal Area
2003
We study some methods of obtaining approximations to surfaces of minimal area with prescribed border using triangular Bezier patches. Some methods deduced from a variational principle are proposed and compared with some masks.
Case of Monopolies at Stake
2005
In this chapter, our purpose is to illustrate the complexity of the outcomes of technological change and the concerns of regulators in the European gambling markets. In 2002, the Finnish Betting and Tipping Company, Veikkaus, estimated, that Finns’ Internet gambling decreased its turnover of betting by 10%. Such leakage is a reason why politicians in different states are considering imposing restrictions of online gambling to other parties of the gambling process, such as Internet service providers, banks, and credit card companies. On the other hand, one possible way to caulk the leakage could be to improve the returns of the players, but this has an adverse effect on the social and politi…
An eye tracking comparison of external pointing cues and internal continuous cues in learning with complex animations
2010
Abstract Two experiments used eye tracking to investigate a novel cueing approach for directing learner attention to low salience, high relevance aspects of a complex animation. In the first experiment, comprehension of a piano mechanism animation containing spreading-colour cues was compared with comprehension obtained with arrow cues or no cues. Eye tracking data revealed differences in learner attention patterns between the different experimental conditions. The second experiment used eye tracking with synchronized and non-synchronized cues to investigate the role of dynamic direction of attention in cueing effectiveness. Results of Experiment 1 showed that spreading-colour cues resulted…
Asymptotic behaviors of solutions to quasilinear elliptic equations with Hardy potential
2016
Optimal estimates on asymptotic behaviors of weak solutions both at the origin and at the infinity are obtained to the following quasilinear elliptic equations
