Time Perception Science

Translator A AI

Summary

Time Perception Science explores the fascinating ways our brains construct our subjective experience of time. It examines how neural mechanisms and cognitive processes work together, influencing everything from planning to social interactions. One intriguing fact is that our perception of time isn't passive; it's actively shaped by factors like attention and emotion. This book uniquely emphasizes the dynamic interplay of various brain regions, rather than pinpointing a single "time center."

 
The book progresses systematically, first laying the groundwork with historical and philosophical perspectives. It then delves into the neuroscience of time perception, exploring brain regions and neural oscillations. Next, it examines cognitive and psychological influences, such as how conditions like Parkinson's disease can alter time perception. By integrating findings from neuroscience, psychology, and cognitive science, Time Perception Science offers a comprehensive understanding of how we experience time, including how our brains process temporal information.

The Coming Singularity

Gary A. Freitas

As we approach 2050, it is projected that human consciousness will encounter a superior intelligence for the very first time: artificial machine intelligence. It is important for us to understand the evolutionary impact of this event, but also that we are being altered from the inside out for the singularity to arise. 
Are we ready? 
Will we be adaptive? 
How will we change? 
The Coming Singularity explores the psychological impact of the changes coming our way and the many adaptations we will have to make. 
We are transitioning to a world of one degree of separation, with only the illusion of privacy, autonomy and anonymity. All of us are undergoing a transition to an electronic identity, one that can reach back and change the real you. The question going forward will be, who is the real you? 
A cluster of psychological symptoms are evolving from our technology interface––Identity Diffusion. Its key feature is the de-realization of life. 
Direct brain-to-technology interfaces will soon render our brains an open-source forum. We need to discuss who is in there and why! 
The impact of e-technology on human identity will be profound, but it is also a prerequisite for machine intelligence to arise. We need to discuss this. 
We humans reside in complex, dynamical networks. The goal of artificial intelligence will be to evolve and stabilize these networks. And we may not be the priority.
