BIS Publishers B.V. The Divergent and Convergent Thinking Notebook:
Book SynopsisCreativity research shows that dividing thinking into divergent and convergent forms improves and increases idea production; this leads to unexpected thoughts and original solutions. Divergent thinking is used to generate ideas; convergent thinking helps in selecting the best ideas. The concept of divergent and convergent thinking is so integral to the creative process and innovative thinking that it is known as ‘the heartbeat of creativity’. It is the underlying rhythm of creative thinking. This book is an introduction to divergent and convergent thinking and includes guidelines to enhance innovative thinking, as well as hands-on exercises to strengthen creativity. The concept of the book is supported by its triangular shape, illustrating divergent and convergent thinking: the top half of the book communicates divergent thinking, while the bottom half communicates convergent thinking. This principle remains the same throughout the book.

BIS Publishers B.V. Little Creative Thinker’s Connection Dominoes
Book SynopsisAs with the Little Creative Thinker’s Exercise Book, this wonderfully simple children’s game is built on the tried and tested theory that by enhancing your ability to see connections, you can enhance your creativity. Based on the same basic rules as dominoes – it’s all about matching the bricks you’re dealt with the bricks on the table. The winner is the one who is quickest to place all of their bricks. The difference is, this version is not played with numbers, it’s purely visual. The bricks can be matched in a number of fun ways but always with a connection. It could be a pattern, a shape or a concept that connects the two dominoes. Although you might think you’re just having fun with your kids, you’re actually teaching yourselves to be better at thinking creatively by strengthening the underlying mechanism of creativity itself. So, go for it, play yourselves more creative!

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Emotions, Qualia, And Consciousness
Book SynopsisThe experience of emotion is a ubiquitous component of the stream of consciousness; emotional qualia interact with other contents and processes of consciousness in complex ways. Recent research has supported the hypothesis that important functional aspects of emotion can operate outside the conscious awareness. Primary types of emotions are found in animals, while secondary, more complex types are involved in interpersonal relationships. Emotions both influence genetic repair mechanisms of individuals and are responsible for group behavior. Many scholars and scientists believe that no scientific or philosophic account of consciousness can be complete without an understanding of the role of emotion.Table of ContentsEmotion and consciousness - current research and controversies, A.W. Kaszniak; the nature of typical emotions, A. Ben-Ze'ev; emotions associated to cognitive revision as a basis for values, P. Livet; neuro-affective processes and the brain substrates of emotion - emerging perspective and dilemmas, J. Pankseep; imagery and emotion - information networks in the brain, P.J. Lang; hemispheric asymmetries in representation and control of emotions - evidence from unilateral brain damage, G. Gainotti; hierarchical organization of emotional experience and its neural substrates, R. Lane; metal representations, the reticular activating system and emotions, B. Cabott; antecedents and functions of emotion episodes, N.H. Frijda; the communication of emotion, U. Hess; the mental representation of romantic jealousy - a blended emotion (and more), D.J.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Cultural Patterns And Neurocognitive Circuits:
Book SynopsisOur age is characterized by global access to information, places and cultures: we can gain more and more knowledge about 'the others': other people and their cultures by 'indirect knowledge' — learning about them via the global information net assisted by electronic and other high-tech communication channels, as well as by 'direct knowledge': personally visiting various parts of the world and meeting local people in their own natural and social environments.East and West, two major worlds of aspirations, cultures, world-views, theoretical and practical approaches to life and death, have come closer by personal experiences of both Westerners and Easterners. But do we really understand the similarities and differences between the cultural-cognitive-behavioural-emotional patterns of the East and the West, with special regard to their neurobiological underpinnings in the human brain?The contents of this book focus on cultural patterns and cognitive patterns in the East and West, with special regard to those patterns which are determined by our natural-genetic endownments in contrast to those patterns which are influenced by our cultural ('East-West') influences, and within this context a unique flavour is given to the 'good life' aspects of adapting to this global community.Published in collaboration with Institute Para Limes.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Principles And Applications Of Spatial Hearing
Book SynopsisHumans possess a remarkable ability to extract rich three-dimensional information about sound environments simply by analyzing the acoustic signals they receive at their two ears. Research in spatial hearing has evolved from a theoretical discipline studying the basic mechanisms of hearing to a technical discipline focused on designing and implementing increasingly sophisticated spatial auditory display systems. This book contains 39 chapters representing the current state-of-the-art in spatial audio research selected from papers presented in Sendai, Japan, at the First International Workshop on the Principles and Applications of Spatial Hearing.Table of ContentsR&D engineers of audio engineering; acoustics researchers; audiology researchers; R&D engineers of hearing aids; educators in audio, audiology and acoustics; virtual and augmented reality researchers; audio engineering enthusiasts; cognitive scientists; multimedia information processing researchers; multimodal information processing researchers; 3D image displays researchers.
