The fundamental cycle of concept construction underlying various theoretical frameworks (2005, background): “Such connections enables neuronal groups to operate in consort, forming a complex mental structure conceived as a single sophisticated entity that may in turn be an object of reflection to be operated on at a higher level (Crick, 1994; Edelman & Tononi, 2000).”
Seamful interweaving: heterogeneity in the theory and design of interactive systems (2004, background): “Contemporary neurophysiology is in strong accord with this view [9, 13], as is architecture and urban design [22], the field most obviously related to the theory and design of space.”
Abstraction as a natural process of mental compression (2007, background): “As a task to be learned is practiced, its performance becomes more and more automatic; as this occurs, it fades from consciousness, the number of brain regions involved in the task becomes smaller.
