  • Neurofeedback

    Tools, Methods and Applications

    by Pascale Vincent ...
    The artificial intelligence of robots capable of learning from their errors and modifying their behavior accordingly is modeled on the activity of neurons in the brain.Emotional stress, traffic accidents, bereavement; these are all factors that can disrupt this neural activity, sometimes to the point of generating suffering that can be difficult to relieve. Neurofeedback, derived from neuroscience ... Read more

  • Crime, Genes, Neuroscience and Cyberspace

    by Tim Owen ...
    Series series Law and Criminology (R0)
    This book applies Owen’s unique genetic-social framework to the study of crime and criminal behaviour, with an emphasis on cybercrime. Moving beyond challenges which confront contemporary criminological theorizing such as: the stagnation of critical criminology, the relativistic nihilism of the ‘cultural turn’, posthumanism, and virtual criminology, the author codifies and ‘applies’ the latest ...

  • Two Faces of Evil: Cancer and Neurodegeneration

    Edited by Thomas Curran, Yves Christen ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Homeostasis involves a delicate interplay between generative and degenerative processes to maintain a stable internal environment. In biological systems, equilibrium is established and controlled through a series of negative feedback mechanisms driven by a range of signal transduction processes. Failures in these complex communication pathways result in instability leading to disease. Cancer ... Read more
