Engineering culture: logics of optimization in music, games, and apps by Morris, JW, Prey, R, Nieborg, DB

“…We hope our comparative approach reveals different conceptions of the term optimization, and that this term—in all its digital, financial, and cybernetic connotations—might prompt new ways of thinking about the interactions between content, (meta)data, platforms, and culture that have long shaped the circulation of cultural goods.…”

A function-based mapping of sensory integration along the cortical hierarchy by Wei, W, Benn, RA, Scholz, R, Shevchenko, V, Klatzmann, U, Alberti, F, Chiou, R, Wassermann, D, Vanderwal, T, Smallwood, J, Margulies, DS

“…This dimension identifies differences between brain states and emphasizes how sensory integration changes flexibly in response to varying cognitive demands. Furthermore, meta-analytic functional decoding with our model highlights the close relationship between cognitive functions and sensory integration, showing its potential for future research of human cognition through sensory information processing.…”
