Extrasensory Perception

Extrasensory Perception

Extrasensory perception, or ESP, suggests the ability to perceive events beyond the conventional senses of sight, hearing, and touch. Parapsychologists, who research ESP and related psychic phenomena, categorize ESP into three main types: precognition, telepathy, and clairvoyance.
Precognition involves foreseeing future events, such as predicting an accident before it happens. An example of precognition could be someone dreaming about a specific event, like a car crash, which then occurs...

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

Group Polarization

Group Polarization

Group polarization is the strengthening of an original group attitude following the discussion of views within a group (Teger & Pruitt, 1967). That is, if a group initially favors a viewpoint, after discussion the group consensus is likely a stronger endorsement of the viewpoint. Conversely, if the group was initially opposed to a viewpoint, group discussion would likely lead to stronger opposition.

Depth Perception and Spatial Vision

Depth Perception and Spatial Vision

Depth perception is the ability to perceive objects three-dimensionally. It relies on two types of cues: binocular and monocular. Binocular cues depend on the combination of images from both eyes and how the eyes work together. Since the eyes are in slightly different positions, each eye captures a slightly different image. This disparity between images, known as binocular disparity, helps the brain interpret depth. When the brain compares these images, it determines the distance to an object.

Area of Science:

Cognitive Science
Philosophy of Mind
Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

Extended mind theory posits that cognitive processes can extend beyond the brain.
The Internet offers a vast environment for potential cognitive extension.
Existing criteria for cognitive extension may need re-evaluation in light of new technologies.

Purpose of the Study:

To advance the understanding of Internet-extended knowledge.
To illustrate a real-world application (HoloArt app) of Internet-extended knowledge.
To support philosophical inquiry into extended knowledge and the extended mind.

Main Methods:

Conceptual analysis of extended mind theory applied to the internet.
Description of the HoloArt application's functionality.
Integration of mixed reality, cloud computing, and machine intelligence.

Main Results:

The HoloArt app serves as a putative case of Internet-extended knowledge.
Technological advancements can facilitate cognitive extension.
The HoloArt app challenges universality of criteria for cognitive extension.

Conclusions:

Internet-extended knowledge is a viable concept.
Advanced technologies like mixed reality and AI can enable cognitive extension.
Re-evaluation of extended mind criteria is necessary given technological progress.
