Space-related processing recruits a network of brain regions separate from those recruited in object processing. This dissociation has largely been explored by contrasting views of navigable-scale spaces to views of close-up, isolated objects. However, in naturalistic visual experience, we encounter spaces intermediate to these extremes, like the t...

V zračnem boju, tako imenovanem ''dogfight'' so pomembne tako pripravljenost in izkušenost pilota, kot tudi visoke sposobnosti letala. Zaradi svetovno gledano slabših lastnosti slovenskih vojaških letal, se morajo piloti toliko bolj zanašati na svojo pripravljenost in uporabo vseh sredstev, ki so na voljo. Rešitev v skrajni sili je izvedba visoko-r...

Attentional selection mechanisms in visual cortex involve changes in oscillatory activity in the EEG alpha band (8–12 Hz), with decreased alpha indicating focal cortical enhancement and increased alpha indicating suppression. This has been observed for spatial selective attention and attention to stimulus features such as color versus motion. We in...

This article poses a question for Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO) in general and Harman’s position in particular. It is Heidegger’s question: “How do matters stand with nothingness?” First, I present the basic outline of Harman’s OOO which is presented as a theory of everything. In order to pin down the question of nothing, I begin by asking about “...

We propose the mereological theory of odors, according to which odors are proper parts of concrete objects. We distinguish between object solid core and gaseous periphery; the odor is the periphery and plays a role in olfactory perception similar to the role played by surfaces in visual and tactile perception. Some epistemological and metaphysical ...

Le roman Vacuum (2003) de Christian Mistral se fait l’écho à notre époque de deux obsessions majeures : celle de la technologie et celle de se dire. Nous allons montrer que dans ce texte, qui a pris d’abord la forme d’un journal (éponyme) en ligne, l’utilisation du dispositif informatique (outil de communication privilégié en ce début de nouveau mi...

Graham Harman’s Object-Oriented Ontology has employed a variant of occasionalist causation since 2002, with sensual objects acting as the mediators of causation between real objects. While the mechanism for living beings creating sensual objects is clear, how nonliving objects generate sensual objects is not. This essay sets out an interpretation o...

Drawing is a powerful tool that can be used to convey rich perceptual information about objects in the world. What are the neural mechanisms that enable us to produce a recognizable drawing of an object, and how does this visual production experience influence how this object is represented in the brain? Here we evaluate the hypothesis that produci...

The world health organization has predicted that by 2030, depression will cause more early deaths and disability than cancer, stroke, or accidents. The number of burnouts has been increasing during the past years since we are so focused on our materialistic needs, educating ourselves in managing our devices. Meanwhile, we have not learned how to ma...
