Já se cansou de ler sobre a consciência?

Nem pense nisso. Leia esse artigo:

Self as Symbol
The loopy nature of consciousness trips up scientists studying themselves
By Tom Siegfried
February 11th, 2012; Vol.181 #3 (p. 28)

Bão, esse artigo, ao terminar, nos remete a outro que também é excelente:

Emblems of Awareness
Brain signatures lead scientists to the seat of consciousness
By Laura Sanders

A linguagem incorporada

The Embodied Language. Why language should not be conceived of in abstraction from the brain and body, why there is more to it than sensorimotor and semantic resonance, and the consequences for robotics
Michał B. Paradowski 2012
Institute of Applied Linguistics,
University of Warsaw
http://arxiv.org/pdf/1111.7190

Magnífico artigo, com seis páginas de texto e oito de referências - boa parte delas bastante recentes, e todas à propos. A "robótica" do título não ocupa nem um vigésimo da história - os holofotes estão sobre o cérebro e o corpo e comportamento humanos e o processamento de linguagem. Escrito em inglês perfeito (o autor é polonês, mas é Mestre em filologia inglesa), é tão denso que requer umas três leituras consecutivas para que possamos ter uma boa idéia geral de tudo que está sendo esmiuçado.

Aprendizagem e Cognição

This collection of 58 articles from the recently-published third edition of the International Encyclopedia of Education focus on learning, memory, attention, problem solving, concept formation, and language. Learning and cognition is the foundation of cognitive psychology and encompasses many topics including attention, memory, categorization, etc. Most books in the area either focus on one subtopic in-depth (e.g. an entire book on memory) or cover the gamut of subjects in a series of long, technical handbook-like chapters. This concise reference offers researchers and professors teaching in the area a new take on the material that is comprehensive in breadth, but lighter in depth - focusing on main findings, established facts, and minimizing the amount of space taken up by large, multi-volume references. An introduction to a complex field via summaries of main topics in this discipline. Contains contributions from the foremost international researchers in the field. Makes content available to individual cognitive psychology researchers.
