Recognition without identification, erroneous familiarity, and déjà vu

Déjà vu is characterized by the recognition of a situation concurrent with the awareness that this recognition is inappropriate. Although forms of déjà vu resolve in favor of the inappropriate recognition and therefore have behavioral consequences, typical déjà vu experiences resolve in favor of the awareness that the sensation of recognition is inappropriate. The resultant lack of behavioral modification associated with typical déjà vu means that clinicians and experimenters rely heavily on self-report when observing the experience. In this review, we focus on recent déjà vu research. We consider issues facing neuropsychological, neuroscientific, and cognitive experimental frameworks attempting to explore and experimentally generate the experience. In doing this, we suggest the need for more experimentation and amore cautious interpretation of research findings, particularly as many techniques being used to explore déjà vu are in the early stages of development.PostprintPeer reviewe

Could Cryptocurrencies be an Extension of our Self? A Study on Post-Purchase Behavior

Dissertation presented as the partial requirement for obtaining a Master's degree in Information Management, specialization in Marketing IntelligenceCryptocurrencies have been a trending topic for a couple of years, and we either fear it or want to know more about it. A post on Bitcoin surfaces on social media every three seconds, 28,866 posted online daily (Finder, 2021). Bitcoin alone accounts for $6 billion of daily online transactions, which is surpassed only by two of America’s top payment networks – Visa Card and MasterCard (News Logical, 2021). This study analyzes the post-purchase behavior focusing on Cryptocurrencies, the consumer perceptions and motivations that contribute to a purchase decision, analyzing to what extend does that impact the extension of the Self. The Extended Self, by Belk, is the main theory to support the study’s literature review, as it defines the sum of our possessions, memories, experiences, people we know as an Extension of our Self. This study compares the differences between Investors and Non-Investors and analyzes the point of view and consumer perceptions during all the purchase phases, focusing on the post-purchase behavior. One of the main findings of this study is that Cryptocurrencies can become an extension of the self, and the feelings that derive from a purchase can contribute to future purchases and self-extension.As Criptomoedas têm sido um tema de tendência nos últimos anos, o qual tememos ou queremos saber mais sobre ele. Um post sobre Bitcoin aparece nas redes sociais a cada três segundos, 28.866 postados online diariamente (Finder, 2021). Só a Bitcoin representa 6 mil milhões de dólares de transações em linha diárias, sendo apenas ultrapassada por duas das principais redes de pagamento dos EUA - Visa Card e MasterCard (News Logical, 2021). Este estudo analisa o comportamento pós-compra com foco nas Criptomoedas, as perceções e motivações do consumidor que contribuem para uma decisão de compra, analisando até que ponto isso tem impacto no nosso Extended Self. O Extended Self, por Belk, é a principal teoria para apoiar a revisão bibliográfica do estudo, uma vez que define a soma dos nossos bens, memórias, experiências, pessoas que conhecemos como uma Extensão do nosso Eu. Este estudo compara as diferenças entre Investidores e Não Investidores e analisa o ponto de vista e as perceções dos consumidores em todas as fases de compra, concentrando-se no comportamento pós-compra. Uma das principais conclusões deste estudo é que as Criptomoedas podem tornar-se uma Extensão no nosso Eu, e os sentimentos que derivam de uma compra podem contribuir para futuras compras e para essa mesma extensão

Well-Being Analysis vs. Cost-Benefit Analysis

Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is the primary tool used by policymakers to inform administrative decisionmaking. Yet its methodology of converting preferences (often hypothetical ones) into dollar figures, then using those dollar figures as proxies for quality of life, creates significant systemic errors. These problems have been lamented by many scholars, and recent calls have gone out from world leaders and prominent economists to find an alternative analytical device that would measure quality of life more directly. This Article proposes well-being analysis (WBA) as that alternative. Relying on data from studies in the field of hedonic psychology that track people\u27s actual experience of life-data that have consistently been found reliable and valid-WBA is able to provide the same policy guidance as CBA without CBA\u27s distortionary reliance upon predictions and dollar figures. We show how WBA can be implemented, and we catalog its advantages over CBA. In light of this comparison, we conclude that WBA should assume CBA\u27s role as the decisionmaking tool of choice for administrative regulation

High-Density Solid-State Memory Devices and Technologies

This Special Issue aims to examine high-density solid-state memory devices and technologies from various standpoints in an attempt to foster their continuous success in the future. Considering that broadening of the range of applications will likely offer different types of solid-state memories their chance in the spotlight, the Special Issue is not focused on a specific storage solution but rather embraces all the most relevant solid-state memory devices and technologies currently on stage. Even the subjects dealt with in this Special Issue are widespread, ranging from process and design issues/innovations to the experimental and theoretical analysis of the operation and from the performance and reliability of memory devices and arrays to the exploitation of solid-state memories to pursue new computing paradigms

Application of advanced technology to space automation

Automated operations in space provide the key to optimized mission design and data acquisition at minimum cost for the future. The results of this study strongly accentuate this statement and should provide further incentive for immediate development of specific automtion technology as defined herein. Essential automation technology requirements were identified for future programs. The study was undertaken to address the future role of automation in the space program, the potential benefits to be derived, and the technology efforts that should be directed toward obtaining these benefits
