Map cognition, on the other hand, involves mental (or brain) functions and capabilities that facilitate the acquisition and integration of spatial knowledge from maps through reasoning, intuition, and/or perception.
We apply all of the same brain power and capabilities used in our for-profit invention work and focus them on inventions to improve life in developing countries.
It also requires participants to use their brains and mental capability in a series of different ways, i.e., to individually generate new ideas, to silently assess the ideas of others, to jointly examine the implications of new ideas with others, and to formally evaluate a series of options.
While such an interpretation is rather speculative at this stage, we believe that the observed pattern of results is consistent with the importance of the cholinergic system and the wide range of changes it induces across both the brain and cognitive capabilities as a result of healthy aging and neurodegenerative processes.
Have you heard of the popular left brain/ right brain personality, interest and capability theory?
A featured article in the Fall 2012 YCCI newsletter, "PET Research Center Moves Beyond the Brain," explores how PET investigators are expanding research interests and capabilities beyond brain imaging to include studies in diabetes and cancer.
This chapter discusses the interplay of interests between natural and artificial cognitive systems in three sections: the biological computer and the artificial brain, characteristic capabilities, and motivations.
Other researchers are looking at ways to alter thoughts and capabilities once the brain has been hacked.
Imagining and building data-intensive brain science capabilities, neuroinformatics, computational neuroscience, and machine learning systems to analyze and model neuroscience datasets of all sizes.
