Questa Γ¨ notevole.
Una ricerca sul ruolo dell’attivitΓ  di routine del “tocco di sΓ©” (autopercezione) nell’infante Γ¨ fondamentale per stabilire una rappresentazione del corpo proprio e sposta la dinamica di sviluppo dell’autoconsapevolezza umana radicandola nell’azione autodiretta.
La percezione/consapevolezza di sΓ© Γ¨ a fondamento della consapevolezza del mondo esterno.
L’attuale AI Γ¨ tutta costruita non solo su un modello superato della organizzazione nervosa - vedi la critica della Hurley al ‘sandwich model of the mind’ - ma Γ¨ orientata esclusivamente (e non potrebbe essere diversamente) alla percezione di dati esterni.
La solita canzoncina (ripetuta anche da Cristianini) secondo cui la AI non va intesa in senso umano diventa chiaramente manipolatoria. Non si capisce perchΓ© dovremmo continuare a chiamare “intelligenza” ciΓ² che piΓΉ autenticamente Γ¨ solo “automazione”.

Β«Our results demonstrate that self-touch functions as an intermodal gateway through which infants learn how to localize and reach to stimuli on their bodies, including those that can only be seen in a mirror. These findings identify an overlooked role for the routine activity of self-touch in establishing a representation of the body and suggest that the development of human self-awareness is rooted in self-directed action.Β»

We tend to think of delusions as factually inaccurate. However, we don’t often consider how, by invalidating them, we also undermine the agency of those who hold them. This is a mistake, argues philosopher Lisa Bortolotti. If we examine the content of our delusions against the environment which influenced them, they reveal the very ways humans engage in active meaning-making, the ultimate mark of human agency.

Researchers propose a groundbreaking hypothesis, linking chronic stress and inflammation to societal and cognitive dysfunction on a global scale. They suggest that the brain’s β€˜central inflammation map’ could be impaired by chronic inflammation, affecting individual and collective decision-making, and behaviors.

The spread of stress and inflammation through digital communication accelerates this process, potentially leading to a cycle of societal dysfunction and environmental degradation. The study emphasizes the need for multi-level interventions, including lifestyle changes and societal education, to break this cycle.

Empathy, often considered a fixed trait, has been shown to be malleable in adults, influenced by observing the empathetic reactions of others. The study utilized Computational Modeling and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to demonstrate how empathy levels adjust in adult brains based on social environments.
