This PhD thesis explores the way multiple and tenuous links connect collective memory and space in the contemporary city. It does so through a field enquiry carried out in Rome, Italy. This palimpsest-city has a particular relationship to the past, which c ...
Continuous attractor models of working-memory store continuous-valued information in continuous state-spaces, but are sensitive to noise processes that degrade memory retention. Short-term synaptic plasticity of recurrent synapses has previously been shown ...
In 2012, a project proposed by local authorities aimed to revitalize, after a century of interruption, the use of Beijing’s Bell and Drum Towers and the social traditions associated with it. As a result, more than one hundred households living in 66 tradit ...
Parietal cortex and adjacent parts of the temporal cortex have recently been associated with bodily self-consciousness (BSC). Similarly, growing evidence suggests that the lateral parietal cortex is crucial for the subjective aspects of episodic autobiogra ...
In the celebrated coded caching problem studied by Maddah-Ali and Niesen, the peak-traffic network load is to be reduced by first caching some information about contents into individual memories of end users during the off-peak hours and then upon user req ...
While science fiction has disseminated the Cyborg's concept in an vein of epic heroism, its literary history, from Cordwainer Smith to Martin Caitlin and Frederik Pohl, shows that it challenges constantly its ideal of continuity. From the start, the space ...

Cognitive neuroscience has been examining consciousness associated with the subject, that is the self of the conscious experience and its related multisensory processing of bodily signals, the so-called bodily self-consciousness. Different line of research ...
Today, institutionalised discourses surrounding heritage have social and physical impacts, with the potential to lead to a break between inhabitants' collective memory of popular neighbourhoods, and their transforming territories. In this context, the acti ...
For decades, neuroscientists and psychologists have observed that animal performance on spatial navigation tasks suggests an internal learned map of the environment. More recently, map-based (or model-based) reinforcement learning has become a highly activ ...
