...Kip Errett Patterson Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a theory that applies Miller et al.’s (1960) Test-Operate-Test-Exit (TOTE) concept to the psychophysiology involved in electroencephalographic (EEG) biofeedback (BFB). Design/methodology/approach Six components...

... so that a zero time interval quoted on the x′ axis can correspond to a nonzero time interval quoted on the x axis. Now, relativity has the following options. © MCB UP Limited 2003 Cybernetics Theory Time Space The crucial role of x=ct...

...Arthur Bolstein A physical process, the course of which according to the Lorentz transformations is impossible in the frame of reference in inertial motion, can be created in some inertial frame of reference. According to the theory, consider the body to be extremely contracted in the rest...

... was, as the “collapse of the wave function” in modern quantum theory, not separating the physical reality from the observation of instruments and human being. This paper attempts to bring back science from inside the “Ha–Ha” mirror to the common senses and rational study. This paper reflects some important viewpoints...

..., derived via observation and predictions of the quantum model, resolves Maxwell as well as Newton. The theory concludes that the Special Theory of Relativity, suitably modified to account for gravitational displacement within one particular frame, derives a precise relative model of gravitation within...

...Michel Bounias; Volodymyr Krasnoholovets Some necessary and sufficient conditions allowing a previously unknown space to be explored through scanning operators are reexamined with respect to measure theory. Some generalized concepts of distances and dimensionality evaluation are proposed, together...

... of experimental proofs proposed. © MCB UP Limited 2003 Structures Theory Cybernetics Part I of this study deals with some founding principles about how to assess more accurately, though in a general way how one can define the space of magmas (that is the sets, combination rules and structures...

... the families of fractal deformations give rise to families of particle‐like structure. The theory predicts the existence of classes of spin, charges and magnetic properties, while quantum properties associated with mass have previously been shown to determine the inert mass and the gravitational effects. When...

...George J. Klir Presents an overview of currently recognized theories of imprecise probabilities and their possible extensions. It is shown how the theories are ordered by their levels of generality. A summary of current results regarding measures of uncertainty and uncertainty‐based information...

...James Powell Here I pay tribute to Gordon Pask who through only a small intervention changed the whole nature of the way I undertook my future studies. © MCB UP Limited 2001 Theory Action learning I only actually met Gordon Pask on five occasions, but such was the presence...

...Lars Skyttner The ideas of information theory which underlie cybernetics and its information‐processing aspects still has a solid reputation to be both extremely abstract and highly mathematical. Furthermore, the tract has been accused of a slow development and not accentuating the difference...

...Lars Skyttner To enhance the generality and usefulness of classic communication theory, some complementary concepts and ideas have been introduced and commented against the background of General Living Systems Theory (GLS). The paper begins with an extended definition of the problem...

...Jon‐Arild Johannessen Questions the relationship between information science, the theory of science, and ethics. Defines the differences between the views of the theory of science used in information science and introduces the concept “The context of solution”, in addition to the entities...
