A richly illustrated overview of the work of Neri Oxman whose design redefines computer science, digital fabrication, material science, and synthetic biology. Mediated Matter is the first comprehensive overview of Neri Oxman's groundbreaking design work. Oxman has forged a singular career across design, science, and technology over the past twenty years that includes, notably, founding the field of material ecology. Trained as both a medical doctor and an architect, she brings to design a spirit of inquiry and experimentation that includes a future-forward approach to materials--from silkworm thread to automated microrobots to a water-based fabrication platform that prints structures made from biopolymers. In her work at the MIT Media Lab, she designed products and buildings as interactive entities that are environmentally informed, biologically augmented, computationally grown, and digitally manufactured. Through richly detailed diagrams, explanatory texts, process documents, and brea

In a world where it s easy to feel like everything is going wrong, world-renowned psychiatrist Paul Conti asks what s going right?Despite the increasing availability of mental health resources and freedom of people talking about it, the data around mental health shows a steady decline in happiness. Why are all the metrics heading the wrong way? With his characteristic warmth, optimism and expertise however, Dr Paul Conti wants you to flip the narrative and ask yourself the empowering question: how can we go right?Based on his Generative Drive framework, and as seen on the wildly popular podcast series on Andrew Huberman s Huberman Lab, What s Going Right will guide readers to understanding and assessing their mental health. Also informed by Paul s own journey and his decades of experience helping patients, this book will provide you with a simple, science-based framework for improving mental health, fortified with practical tools that you can tailor to yourself in the real world.With a

Anil Seth's quest to understand the biological basis of conscious experience is one of the most exciting contributions to twenty-first-century science. An unprecedented tour of consciousness thanks to new experimental evidence, much of which comes from Anil Seth's own lab. His radical argument is that we do not perceive the world as it objectively is, but rather that we are prediction machines, constantly inventing our world and correcting our mistakes by the microsecond, and that we can now observe the biological mechanisms in the brain that accomplish this process of consciousness. Seth's work has yielded new ways to communicate with patients previously deemed unconscious, as well as promising methods of coping with brain damage and disease. Being You sheds light on the future of AI and virtual/augmented reality, adds empirical evidence to cutting-edge ideas of how the brain works, and ushers in a new age in the study of the mystery of human consciousness. This book is a life-changin
