Sommario/riassunto |
|
Despite popular opinions of the 'dark Middle Ages' and a 'gloomy early modern age,' many people laughed, smiled, giggled, chuckled, entertained and ridiculed each other. This volume demonstrates how important laughter had been at times and how diverse the situations proved to be in which people laughed, and this from late antiquity to the eighteenth century. The contributions examine a wide gamut of significant cases of laughter in literary texts, historical documents, and art works where laughter determined the relationship among people. In fact, laughter emerges as a kaleidoscopic phenomenon reflecting divine joy, bitter hatred and contempt, satirical perspectives and parodic intentions. In some examples protagonists laughed out of sheer happiness and delight, in others because they felt anxiety and insecurity. It is much more difficult to detect premodern sculptures of laughing figures, but they also existed. Laughter reflected a variety of concerns, interests, and intentions, and the collective approach in this volume to laughter in the past opens many new windows to the history of mentality, social and religious conditions, gender relationships, and power structures. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
"Brain signal processing spans a broad range of knowledge across engineering, science and medicine, and this book brings together the disparate theory and application to create a comprehensive resource on this growing topic. It will provide advanced tools for the detection, monitoring, separation, localizing and understanding of brain functional, anatomical, and physiological abnormalities. The focus will be on advanced and adaptive signal processing techniques for the processing of electroencephalography and magneto-encephalography signals, and their correlation to the corresponding functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Multimodal processing of brain signals, the new focus for brain signal research, will also be explored. The book covers the broad remit of neuro-imaging, ensuring comprehensive coverage of all issues related to brain signal processing. Topics such as mental fatigue, brain connectivity and new recording techniques will also be covered.This book will be a progression/follow on from Dr Sanei's first book with Wiley, EEG Signal Processing"-- |
