An application of formal concept analysis to semantic neural decoding. (2009)
Journal Article
Endres, D., Foldiak, P., & Priss, U. (2009). An application of formal concept analysis to semantic neural decoding. Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, 57, 233-248. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10472-010-9196-8

This paper proposes a novel application of Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) to neural decoding: the semantic relationships between the neural representations of large sets of stimuli are explored using concept lattices. In particular, the effects of neu... Read More about An application of formal concept analysis to semantic neural decoding..

Mental models, magical thinking and individual differences. (2009)
Journal Article
Turner, P., & Sobolewska, E. (2009). Mental models, magical thinking and individual differences. Human technology an interdisciplinary journal on humans in ICT environments, 5, 90-113

Broadly, there are two mutually exclusive accounts of how people (non-specialist users) reason about and conceptualize interactive technology. The first is based on classical cognitive psychology and is characterized by the term mental model. The sec... Read More about Mental models, magical thinking and individual differences..
