Sinopse

"The Science Blink" explores the surprisingly complex world of blinking, a fundamental biological process essential for ocular health and linked to cognitive functions. This seemingly simple action is vital for lubricating the eyes, removing debris, and defending against irritants. Interestingly, blink rate is often suppressed during periods of high visual attention and increased during cognitive disengagement, suggesting a link between blinking and brain activity, offering insights into neurology and visual behavior. The book progresses from the anatomical and physiological foundations of blinking to its neurological underpinnings and the diverse factors that influence blink rates. Environmental conditions, individual factors, and even diseases like Parkinson's can affect how often we blink. "The Science Blink" presents this information in an accessible manner, drawing from peer-reviewed literature, clinical studies, and statistical data from fields like ophthalmology and physiology. It emphasizes real-world applications for improving eye care habits and understanding the impact of screen time on eye health, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the biology of vision and cognitive science.

If P Then Q - Why Philosophy Can...

Russell Hasan

This short paper on logic argues that logic and science can go hand in hand, and that, by taking observations of perceptions and sensations, and applying logical analysis to them, you have the power to build conceptual models and frameworks that you can use in order to predict what you should do in the future and to reason how to solve the problems in your life. Examples from hard science, and examples of the use of science and logic in the courtroom to understand legal arguments, are presented, as well examples of how to figure out the answers to the mundane ordinary problems that we humans have in our lives. 
Mandatory must-read for anyone who wants to think and live using logic.
