Unveiling the Biological Blink: Insights from MIC Research Showcase

Delve into the biological signal of insight through embodied cognition, exploring epistemic actions and somatic markers. This research showcase highlights modular processing, leaky cognition, and the subtleties of the blink rate in cognition analysis. Draw from notable studies by Kirsh & Maglio (1994), Damasio (1994), Yu et al. (2009), and others to unravel the complexities of cognitive processes. Discover the link between creativity and dopamine, heart rate fluctuations in chess, and the dynamics of representational change. Explore active information selection and the role of visual attention in cognition. Join us in this journey of understanding cognition in a holistic perspective.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Blink if you're thinking In search of a biological signal for the moment of insight MIC Research Showcase 2013

  2. Embodiment Kirsh & Maglio(1994) “Epistemic actions” Yu et al (2009) Arms and attention Damasio (1994) Somatic markers

  3. Modular processing and output? The caricature: function-specific modules Embodiment suggests processing expressed holistically ...but things are a little messier than that Leaky cognition

  4. Stephen & Dixon (2009) Chermahini & Hommel(2010) Leone et al (2012)

  5. 45 Apparatus Participants Convenience sample Shelf End Read Materials Age Mile Sand Sore Shoulder Sweat

  6. Procedure Falling Actor Dust Please type your response... Correct t(39) = 0.86 p = 0.40 Results

  7. Discussion Cognition not everywhere after all? Blink signal more subtle than analysis? Blink rate appears resilient
