We all have a dream, an idea, a deep burning desire within us waiting to be expressed and fulfilled. However, for many of us our dreams, ideas and desires will never be realised. Regardless of how good our intentions are our fears, doubts and inner stories hold us back. It could be that others have mocked, ridiculed or discredited our dreams. Whatever the story, it has played with our confidence and self belief. It has filled our mind with doubt, fear and stopped us from reaching our potential. We need to learn to develop qualities of inner strength, courage, fearlessness, focus, creativity and determination. To trust in ourself and never stop, no matter what anyone says or tells us, until we have accomplished it. To do this we will need to change the pictures and images of our mind and start building faith, trust, belief in ourself and take action to move in the direction of our dreams, ideas, and desires. For we live in a visual world, and our unconscious mind only understands images, pictures, and feelings. We need to consciously communicate visually and change the pictures of our mind and create ones that empower us to move forward. Mindshaping Art - Say Hello to the Story of "I am following my Dream" provides a powerful collection of images inspired by the animal kingdom. These pictures allow us to transform them into our own personal and visual art work and to use them as powerful tools to reinforce, encourage, and support our story of following our dream. By creating and reflecting on your artwork you can change the pictures of your mind and take action in pursuing the life you want.

A proposal that human social cognition would not have evolved without mechanisms and practices that shape minds in ways that make them easier to interpret. In this novel account of distinctively human social cognition, Tadeusz Zawidzki argues that the key distinction between human and nonhuman social cognition consists in our complex, diverse, and flexible capacities to shape each other's minds in ways that make them easier to interpret. Zawidzki proposes that such "mindshaping"—which takes the form of capacities and practices such as sophisticated imitation, pedagogy, conformity to norms, and narrative self-constitution—is the most important component of human social cognition. Without it, he argues, none of the other components of what he terms the "human sociocognitive syndrome," including sophisticated language, cooperation, and sophisticated "mindreading," would be possible. Challenging the dominant view that sophisticated mindreading—especially propositional attitude attribution—is the key evolutionary innovation behind distinctively human social cognition, Zawidzki contends that the capacity to attribute such mental states depends on the evolution of mindshaping practices. Propositional attitude attribution, he argues, is likely to be unreliable unless most of us are shaped to have similar kinds of propositional attitudes in similar circumstances. Motivations to mindshape, selected to make sophisticated cooperation possible, combine with low-level mindreading abilities that we share with nonhuman species to make it easier for humans to interpret and anticipate each other's behavior. Eventually, this led, in human prehistory, to the capacity to attribute full-blown propositional attitudes accurately—a capacity that is parasitic, in phylogeny and today, on prior capacities to shape minds. Bringing together findings from developmental psychology, comparative psychology, evolutionary psychology, and philosophy of psychology, Zawidzki offers a strikingly original framework for understanding human social cognition.

This edited volume takes a new look at an old question: what is the relationship between beauty and monstrosity? How has the notion of beauty transformed through the years and how does it coincide with monstrous ontologies? Contributors offer an interdisciplinary approach to how these two concepts are interlinked and emphasize the ways the beautiful and the monstrous pervade human experience. The two notions are explored through the axis of human transformation, focusing on body, identity, and gender, while questioning both how humans transform their body and space as well as how humans themselves are gradually transformed in different contexts. The pandemic, gender crisis, moral crisis, sociocultural instability, and environmental issues have redefined beauty and the relationship we have with it. Exploring these concepts through the lens of human transformation can yield valuable insights into what it means to be human in a world of constant change. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, archaeology, philosophy, architecture, and cultural studies.

This book, written by academics across a range of disciplines, including healthcare and social sciences discusses the increasing use of the arts in healthcare research, which often stems from the recognition that for some topics of investigation, or when dealing with sensitive issues, the usual qualitative or quantitative paradigms are not appropriate. While there is undoubtedly a place for such approaches, arts-based research paradigms (ABR) offers, not only additional study and data-collection tools, but also provides a new and enjoyable experience for those involved. The use of the arts as a medium to improve health and wellbeing was well documented by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 2019, with over 3,000 studies conducted around the globe on the value of the arts in the prevention of ill health and promotion of health across the life span. This book examines how the arts, in a variety of forms, can be used by those working directly in healthcare settings as well as those involved in research across all health or patient settings. Covering a range of ABR genres, including literature (such as narrative and poetic inquiry); performance (music, dance, play building); visual arts (drawing and painting, collage, installation art, comics); and audio-visual and multimethod approaches, this user- friendly book will appeal to nurses, researchers in nursing and allied healthcare professions, as well professionals in the social sciences, psychosociology, psychology, literature and arts.

Mobile Brain–Body Imaging and the Neuroscience of Art, Innovation and Creativity is a trans-disciplinary, collective, multimedia collaboration that critically uncovers the challenges and opportunities for transformational and innovative research and performance at the nexus of art, science and engineering. This book addresses a set of universal and timeless questions with a profound impact on the human condition: How do the creative arts and aesthetic experiences engage the brain and mind and promote innovation? How do arts–science collaborations employ aesthetics as a means of problem-solving and thereby create meaning? How can the creative arts and neuroscience advance understanding of individuality and social cognition, improve health and promote life-long learning? How are neurotechnologies changing science and artistic expression? How are the arts and citizen science innovating neuroscience studies, informal learning and outreach in the public sphere? Emerging from the 2016 and 2017 International Conferences on Mobile Brain–Body Imaging and the Neuroscience of Art, Innovation and Creativity held in Cancun, Mexico and Valencia, Spain to explore these topics, this book intertwines disciplines and investigates not only their individual products—art and data—but also something more substantive and unique; the international pool of contributors reveals something larger about humanity by revealing the state of the art in collaboration between arts and sciences and providing an investigational roadmap projected from recent advances. Mobile Brain–Body Imaging and the Neuroscience of Art, Innovation and Creativity is written for academic researchers, professionals working in industrial and clinical centers, independent researchers and artists from the performing arts, and other readers interested in understanding emergent innovations at the nexus of art, science, engineering, medicine and the humanities. The book contains language, design features (illustrations, diagrams) to develop a conversational bridge between the disciplines involved supplemented by access to video, artistic presentations and the results of a hackathon from the MoBI conferences.

This volume offers eleven philosophical investigations into our future relations with social robots--robots that are specially designed to engage and connect with human beings. The contributors present cutting edge research that examines whether, and on which terms, robots can become members of human societies. Can our relations to robots be said to be "social"? Can robots enter into normative relationships with human beings? How will human social relations change when we interact with robots at work and at home? The authors of this volume explore these questions from the perspective of philosophy, cognitive science, psychology, and robotics. The first three chapters offer a taxonomy for the classification of simulated social interactions, investigate whether human social interactions with robots can be genuine, and discuss the significance of social relations for the formation of human individuality. Subsequent chapters clarify whether robots could be said to actually follow social norms, whether they could live up to the social meaning of care in caregiving professions, and how we will need to program robots so that they can negotiate the conventions of human social space and collaborate with humans. Can we perform joint actions with robots, where both sides need to honour commitments, and how will such new commitments and practices change our regional cultures? The authors connect research in social robotics and empirical studies in Human-Robot Interaction to recent debates in social ontology, social cognition, as well as ethics and philosophy of technology. The book is a response to the challenge that social robotics presents for our traditional conceptions of social interaction, which presuppose such essential capacities as consciousness, intentionality, agency, and normative understanding. The authors develop insightful answers along new interdisciplinary pathways in "robophilosophy," a new research area that will help us to shape the "robot revolution," the distinctive technological change of the beginning 21st century.

"This volume considers how ideas were made visible through the making of art and visual experiences occasioned by reception during the long eighteenth century. Contributors consider the approach taken by individual artists and the material formation of concepts in different contexts by asking new questions of artworks that are implicated by the need to see ideas in painted, sculpted, illustrated, designed, and built forms. The first four essays work with ideas about material objects and identity formation, while the last four essays address the intellectual work that can be expressed through or performed by objects. Making Ideas Visible in the Eighteenth Century thus introduces new visual materials and novel conceptual models into traditional accounts of the intellectual history of the Enlightenment."--Cover page 4.

In the quiet solitude of a picturesque countryside, where rolling hills meet the azure sky, lies a tale of rediscovery, love, and the transformative power of art. In our story, we meet Nicole, a once-successful artist, whose heart now bears the weight of disillusionment and aching memories. Seeking solace and inspiration, she flees the bustling city life to this serene haven, hoping that the whispering winds and dancing fields will heal her broken spirit. Little did Nicole know that fate had something extraordinary in store for her. Amidst the tranquil landscape, she stumbles upon an enigmatic art restorer named Dariel, living a secluded life shrouded in mystery. Drawn together by a shared passion for art, they form an unlikely alliance, embarking on a journey that will not only revive a forgotten masterpiece but also transform their lives in ways they could never have imagined. As they collaborate on restoring the ancient painting, Nicole and Dariel unravel layers of emotions, not only within the artwork but also within themselves. Through their artistic endeavors, they find a conduit to express their deepest fears, regrets, and desires. In the midst of their vulnerable exchange, an unexpected bond blossoms between them, born from the power of understanding and shared healing. Amidst the breathtaking beauty of the countryside, the curious gaze of the locals, and the serendipitous encounters that mark their path, Nicole and Dariel navigate the complexities of love, forgiveness, and letting go of the past. With every stroke of the brush and each carefully chosen color, they learn that the act of creation can be a form of catharsis, a way to mend the cracks in their souls and reignite the spark of inspiration. As the forgotten masterpiece is unveiled, it reveals not only its hidden secrets but also the innermost struggles of our protagonists. The painting becomes a metaphor for their journey, a reflection of their own transformation and the profound impact of their collaboration on each other's lives. In 'The Art of Serendipity,' we invite you to join Nicole and Dariel on their artistic odyssey, where the lines between restoration and redemption blur, and the canvas of their lives becomes a testament to the power of love and art. In this tale of two souls finding solace, we will witness how the beauty of the countryside and the transformative magic of creativity combine to create a masterpiece of serendipity.
