Sommario/riassunto

"Although we spend more than ninety percent of our lives inside buildings, we understand very little about how the built environment affects our behavior, thoughts, emotions, and well-being. We are biological beings whose senses and neural systems have developed



over millions of years; it stands to reason that research in the life sciences, particularly neuroscience, can offer compelling insights into the ways our buildings shape our interactions with the world. This expanded understanding can help architects design buildings that support both mind and body. In Mind in Architecture, leading thinkers from architecture and other disciplines, including neuroscience, cognitive science, psychiatry, and philosophy, explore what architecture and neuroscience can learn from each other. They offer historical context, examine the implications for current architectural practice and education, and imagine a neuroscientifically informed architecture of the future. Architecture is late in discovering the richness of neuroscientific research. As scientists were finding evidence for the bodily basis of mind and meaning, architecture was caught up in convoluted cerebral games that denied emotional and bodily reality altogether. This volume maps the extraordinary opportunity that engagement with cutting-edge neuroscience offers present-day architects"--MIT CogNet.

Sommario/riassunto

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Symposium on Automated Technology for Verification and Analysis, ATVA 2020, held in Hanoi, Vietnam, in October 2020. The 27 regular papers presented together with 5 tool papers and 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 75 submissions. The symposium is dedicated to promoting research in theoretical and practical aspects of automated analysis, verification and synthesis by providing an international venue for the researchers to present new results. The papers focus on neural networks and machine learning; automata; logics; techniques for verification, analysis and testing; model checking and decision procedures; synthesis; and randomization and probabilistic systems.
