Hebbian Learning - Fundamentals and Applications for Uniting Memory and Learning

Fouad Sabry

Sinopsis

What Is Hebbian Learning

The Hebbian theory is a neuropsychological theory that asserts that an improvement in synaptic efficacy results from the repetitive and persistent stimulation of a postsynaptic cell by a presynaptic cell. This is an effort to explain synaptic plasticity, which refers to the process through which neurons in the brain change in response to learning. It was first presented in Donald Hebb's book titled The Organization of Behavior, which was published in 1949. Hebb's rule, Hebb's postulate, and the cell assembly hypothesis are all names for the same body of thought. The way that Hebb expresses it is as follows: Let us assume that the persistence or repetition of a reverberatory action tends to create long-lasting cellular modifications that add to its stability. ... When an axon of cell A is close enough to excite a cell B and takes part in firing it repeatedly or consistently, a growth process or metabolic change takes occur in one or both of the cells, which results in an increase in cell A's efficiency as one of the cells firing cell B. This can happen in either cell.

Saying NO to a Farm-Free Future...

Chris Smaje

A defense of agroecological, small-scale farming and a robust critique of an industrialized future.  
As a breakdown of the climate, state power and globalized markets pushes us toward an epochal transition, Chris Smaje offers us a hopeful vision of a relocalized, self-sufficient world.—David Bollier  
One of the few voices to challenge The Guardian's George Monbiot on the future of food and farming (and the restoration of nature) is academic, farmer and author of A Small Farm Future Chris Smaje. In Saying NO to a Farm-Free Future, Smaje presents his defense of small-scale farming and a robust critique of Monbiot’s vision for an urban and industrialized future.  
Responding to Monbiot’s portrayal of an urban, high-energy, industrially manufactured food future as the answer to our current crises, and its unchallenged acceptance within the environmental discourse, Smaje was compelled to challenge Monbiot’s evidence and conclusions. At the same time, Smaje presents his powerful counterargument – a low-carbon agrarian localism that puts power in the hands of local communities, not high-tech corporates.  
In the ongoing fight for our food future, this book will help you to understand the difference between a congenial, ecological living and a dystopian, factory-centered existence. A must-read!

Silence - The Psychology and the...

Olga V. Lehmann

In Silence: The Psychology and the Craft for Emotional Wellbeing, the author―a psychotherapist, university professor, educator, and researcher―takes the listener into a thought-provoking and heartfelt journey. She offers original perspectives and vulnerable stories from her clients, students, and personal life. Drawing on, among others, ethnographic and autoethnographic accounts, Lehmann serves the listener with psychological insights, offering a timely, critical, and thorough viewpoint to contrast with an overload of misinformation about what silence is and how people should feel when quiet. The listener will be challenged to aspire to balance when communicating or connecting with themselves, with others, with nature, or with art, or, for some, as part of a spiritual path. Whether in nature, at work meetings, on the road, in a classroom, in the therapy room, or at the dinner table, silences appear as coordinates, and this book is the missing map for surviving and thriving when navigating toward well-being.
