The use of immersive virtual reality technologies in education has demonstrated an improvement in the learning process of professional level students; nevertheless, mostly limited to the fields of science and engineering. In this study, the NeurohumanitiesLab was introduced as a semi-immersive space where, differences in electroencephalography and...

Even if to mainstream psychologists fear is one of the seven universal emotions, discrete, measurable and with clearly distinct features, in the humanities we consider fear as a widespread concept we associate with more complex prompts than the physiological response to a hazard. This research explores various ways we describe FEAR in Spanish. For...

The relevance of the interaction between Humanities-enhanced learning using immersive environments and simultaneous physiological signal analysis contributes to the development of Neurohumanities and advancements in applications of Digital Humanities. The present dataset consists of recordings from 24 participants divided in two groups (12 particip...

The paradigm of human flourishing proposes to direct efforts in all fields to achieve the development of people at the individual, community, and systemic levels. At the individual level, in recent years, there have been several proposals in the field of health sciences that recognize, among others, two indispensable dimensions for human well-being...

Within the field of Humanities, there is a recognized need for educational innovation, as there are currently no reported tools available that enable individuals to interact with their environment to create an enhanced learning experience in the humanities (e.g., immersive spaces). This project proposes a solution to address this gap by integrating...

La relación del pensamiento con lo artificial, lo inorgánico y la tecnología en general es una característica natural del mismo, que nos conduce desde la filosofía de Platón hasta los retos actuales de relación entre el pensamiento y la inteligencia artificial.

Background Neuroscientific approaches have historically triggered changes in the conception of creativity and artistic experience, which can be revealed by noting the intersection of these fields of study in terms of variables such as global trends, methodologies, objects of study, or application of new technologies; however, these neuroscientific...

While the exact sciences have an extensively contrasted laboratory, there is not something like a laboratory of human sciences, where skills such as comprehension, emotions, spatiality or historical awareness are tested. Supported by neurotechnologies (such as EEG) and AI emergent technologies, there is a chance to create such a space where the sub...

The power of social media in spreading the idea of wellbeing has already been addressed by several psychologists and scholars through the analysis of the vocabulary; however, the use of the human flourishing (HF) concept in such platforms has not yet been analyzed. This study addresses such a topic by analyzing more than 600 thousand Twitter messag...

This article addresses the philosophical debate between Hegelian idealism and Nietzschean vitalism that arises within the framework of modern philosophy. It is a transition in which the conception and use of language and grammar come to have fundamental ontological connotations, which can be appreciated very well in the contrast of the main texts o...

Human flourishing is a thriving concept, whose use has greatly increased among academic researchers from a variety of fields, from the arts and humanities and psychology to the social and environmental sciences and economics. To better understand the concept’s success, this work proposes a bibliometric review, in which statistical methods and data...

Technology-enhanced learning has received a lot of attention through the creation of smart environments to improve learning.

Acco...

An analytical review of the historic academic production over Digital Humanities is proposed. The analysis was performed over the academic database Scopus, from where there were downloaded a total of 3237 documents replying to the query “digital humanities”. The collected database was analyzed with R programming tools, mainly with packages such as...

Tema principal del artículo: Siendo la hermenéutica una de las corrientes más importantes en la investigación y estudio de las ciencias humanas, se la contrapone a la corriente hermética, de menos prestigio académico y, supuestamente, menor rigor científico. Sin embargo, el artículo muestra un gran número de autores y estudios que avalan un acercam...

Cuando comenzó la pandemia de COVID 19, las plataformas sociales tuvieron un rol central en la producción y acceso a la información. Este estudio identifica los tópicos de mayor interés y sus sentimientos asociados en Twitter en la conversación pública en lengua española en ese periodo. Asimismo, analiza el rol de Twitter como plataforma social inv...

El artículo aborda el análisis computacio-nal de varios textos clave de la moderni-dad filosófica, especialmente autores que tratan la voluntad y el deseo: Spinoza, Hegel, Schopenhauer y Nietzsche. A tra-vés de un estudio comparativo de medi-das de frecuencia de términos, redes de relaciones entre palabras, modelado de tópicos y análisis de sentimi...

Nietzsche usa frases más cortas, un estilo más directo frente a muchas frases complejas de 50 tokens y más en Hegel. Hegel utiliza más nombres, determinantes y adposiciones, frente a verbos y adverbios en Nietzsche: entifica más la realidad #philosophy #computationalTurn #digitalHumanities #NLP #rstats Hegel vs. Nietzsche La conciencia de la realid...

Este trabajo intenta comprender el funcionamiento de las voces autorizadas en Twitter durante la pandemia de COVID-19 y su interacción con los usuarios ordinarios. Se define a las voces autorizadas como usuarios de perfil público que poseen gran cantidad de seguidores, y cuyos mensajes son diseminados masivamente en la plataforma por los usuarios o...

Si bien las denominadas Ciencias Exactas cuentan con un laboratorio extensamente contrastado durante siglos en donde se ponen a prueba, cuantitativamente, cualidades objetivas de diversos fenómenos del mundo, no pasa lo mismo con las Humanidades. El carácter relativo de su objeto -los sujetos humanos y sus formas de expresión artística y filosófica...

The concept of archiving as an object of study in the humanities is worked by approaches from the end of the 20th century, such as structuralism and post-structuralism. Distancing from the great modern theoretical constructions, these approaches understand communication and culture through the analysis of signs and their factual arrangement in reco...

There is a certain tendency to understand Deleuze under the label of connectivism, a philosophy of life that affirms constant flow, becoming and escaping, a thought that would give rise to an incessant nomadism and, at times, fanatical, constantly dependent on creativity. Sometimes, this is seen as if Deleuze was a victim of its own postulates of h...

The philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari is used both to encourage the current technological and cybernetic evolution of society and to the contrary: to proclaim the need for areas and opaque layers to interconnectivity. Probably this is because technology itself is neutral: it depends on our uses and applications, the type of social formations that...

Internet aparece en los años 90 como promesa de estado utópico sin fronteras ni restricciones burocráticas. Así lo propone Barlow (1996) en su Declaración de independencia del ciberespacio; o también lo recogen teóricos como Pierre Levy (1997) cuando reflexionan sobre las posibilidades del ciberespacio como espacio nómada hiperconectado del conocim...

The paper compares Gilles Deleuze philosophy with Data Mining techniques from an epistemological point of view. The approach is based on four epistemological correlations which although they are expressed in different languages, they share common purposes and motivations. I am talking about Gilles Deleuze concepts like «extra-being», the process of...

Our social interactions, increasingly mediated by technology, require subjectivity singularization spaces. The philosophy of Deleuze-Guattari gives us the keys of a machinic device that can counter-actualize the generic arrengement we suffer, derived from media and technology. This space is considered as a scenic space but also scientific and analy...

Resonant Theater begins as a teaching innovation project which seeks to implement teaching and cognitive processes serial and logocentric with processes of another order, more linked to the aesthetic, spatial , simultaneous body and intuitive. We refer, in the first foundations of the project, the division of powers brain regions-left brain / right...

La filosofía de Gilles Deleuze desarrolla la crítica nietzscheana al lenguaje y la gramática. “No nos libraremos de Dios mientras sigamos creyendo en la gramática” dice Nietzsche (El crepúsculo de los ídolos, 1889). Desde la crítica metafísica a la noción de sujeto y su dependencia del predicado como “accidente”, Deleuze propone un pensamiento basa...

Teoria da imagem é um ensaio que procura definir um momento da percepção e sua relação com o conhecimento. Embora a imagem seja cada vez mais comum, mesmo omnipresente em nossas sociedades, sobretudo nas últimas décadas, a sua relação com a lógica e o pensamento ainda pode não ter sido esclarecida e liberada de maneira suficiente. Desde a presença...

I would like to show that there are many problems in Data Mining that we could approach through Gilles Deleuze philosophy. These correlations will affect the manner in which we understand technology nowadays and in the future. I will try to show briefly how we need a philosophy to better define the problems of a Data Science Society where informati...

Philosophy can still making relevant questions in our epoch, even more, facing the new digital revolution. If the Artificial Intelligence and the Machine Learning are every time more able to replicate thinking and get closer to a formulation not just logic but even behavioral through complex and deep learning; maybe because of this comes to light t...

La cibernética ha cogido el relevo de las técnicas y tecnologías sociales disciplinarias que caracterizaron las máquinas sociales hasta el capitalismo productivista del S.XVIII y XIX. A través de un control simultáneo de lo individual y lo colectivo, singularizando la información y redistribuyendo los focos de control, observación y vigilancia ubic...
