Cette étude artistique et technique s’inscrit directement dans une recherche entamée depuis des années, sur la question de la représentation sublimée de la mort, qui se retrouve pleinement transfiguré dans l’emblème de la Vanité et sur la recherche de nouvelles façons d’entretenir un dialogue en rétroaction avec l’œuvre. Sur le point artistique, la recherche analyse le processus de création, qui a mené de la représentation sublimée de la mort en vidéo, à la réalisation et l’expérimentation de Vanité au sein de tableaux virtuels interactifs et immersifs. Cette analyse apporte des réponses aux questionnements envers la signification des intentions liées à la création et l’utilisation de Vanité en 3D dans des installations conversationnelles. Elle met en lumière les enjeux de ce procédé innovant par rapport à l’histoire de la Vanité depuis son apparition.

  • Nord Brain Stimulation in Psychiatry
    Cambridge Textbook of Neuroscience for Psychiatrists Chapter title: Brain stimulation in psychiatry Name: Dr Camilla L Nord Affiliation: MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, University of Cambridge Email: [email protected] Phone: 01223767481 Address: MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, 15 Chaucer Road, Cambridge, CB2 7EF 1 Brain stimulation in psychiatry One of the best examples of translation from neuroscience to psychiatric treatment is brain stimulation, an array of techniques aimed at modulating the activity and/or plasticity of particular brain structures. Brain stimulation is not new: as far back as ancient Rome, the physician Scribonius Largus wrote of electrical stimulation to relieve migraine (although he employed a torpedo fish, a species of electric ray). Today, a number of invasive and non- invasive brain stimulation techniques show efficacy in treating psychiatric disorders. What these distinct approaches have in common is their ability to target specific neural regions more directly than traditional pharmacological or psychological approaches (see Figure 1). This capacity to influence the very circuits implicated in neuroscience studies has contributed to some transformative discoveries, but has faced key translational challenges, including response variability and inadequate placebos. 1. Non-invasive brain stimulation There are two chief forms of non-invasive brain stimulation: transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). TMS uses brief, high-current pulses to induce a magnetic field, indirectly activating neurons, and causing an increase or decrease in brain activity in a localised target region1. There is substantial evidence that repetitive high-frequency TMS pulses over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (L-DLPFC) are effective for major depressive disorder2, purportedly by restoring activity in the L-DLPFC, a commonly-described source of aberrant activation in neuroimaging studies in depression (often, but not always, showing hypoactivation)3.

Most would date its 10 inception to the year 2002, when conferences were held on the ethical implications of neu- 11 roscience at Penn and at Stanford-UCF and a few early papers appeared (Farah 2002 ; Illes 12 and Raffi n 2002 ; Moreno 2002; Roskies 2002 ). Initially neuroethics was a predominantly 13 anticipatory fi eld, focused on future developments in neuroscience and neurotechnology. In 14 his introduction to the Stanford conference, “Neuroethics: Mapping the Field,” William 15 Safi re explained the distinctiveness of neuroethics, compared to bioethics more generally, 16 by explaining that neuroscience “deals with our consciousness, our sense of self … our per- 17 sonalities and behavior. And these are the characteristics that brain science will soon be able 18 to change in signifi cant ways” (quoted in Marcus 2002, p. 7, emphasis added). 19 Neuroethics has developed rapidly since then, driven in large part by developments in 20 neuroscience. Th e anticipation and extrapolation that characterized its earliest years, which 21 some skeptics dismissed as science fi ction, has receded. In its place has grown a body of 22 neuroethics research and analysis focusing on actual neuroscience and neurotechnology. 23 What accounts for this change? Part of the shift refl ects the deepening neuroscience exper- 24 tise of many neuroethicists and the migration of neuroscientists to the fi eld of neuroethics.

  • Neurodata and Neuroprivacy: Data Protection Article Outdated?
    Neurodata and Neuroprivacy: Data Protection Article Outdated? Dara Hallinan Philip Schütz Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI, Germany. ISI, Germany. [email protected] [email protected] Michael Friedewald Paul de Hert Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium. ISI, Germany. [email protected] [email protected] Abstract There are a number of novel technologies and a broad range of research aimed at the collection and use of data drawn directly from the human brain. Given that this data—neurodata—is data collected from individuals, one area of law which will be of relevance is data protection. The thesis of this paper is that neurodata is a unique form of data and that this will raise questions for the application of data protection law. Issues may arise on two levels. On a legal technical level, it is uncertain whether the definitions and mechanisms used in the data protection framework can be easily applied to neurodata. On a more fundamental level, there may be interests in neurodata, particularly those related to the protection of the mind, the framework was not designed to represent and may be insufficiently equipped, or constructed, to deal with. Introduction Neurodata is the description of data directly representing the function of the human brain.1 Information allowing the possessor to peer into the processes of the human brain would be of significant value in a plurality of contexts where one party seeks influence or knowledge about another—especially when it would allow the more complete understanding and prediction of the actions of one, or a group, of individuals.

This qualitative study is about dispositions of emotional intelligence in school principals. The participants interviewed were novice school principals or principal coaches. The results showed that principals tend to address the needs of others more than their own. Strategies are shared on how to improve emotional intelligence. Additionally, the study provides recommendations that school districts can implement to ensure the success of school principals. Keywords: emotional intelligence, school principals, self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, social skill, Daniel Goleman, Dale Carnegie, anticipatory mindset DISPOSITIONS OF EI IN PRINCIPALS 5 Preface The feeling of pride when becoming a principal is not easy to describe.

Brain Imaging and Brain Privacy: A Realistic Concern? Abstract Functional neuroimaging has been used to study a wide array of psychological traits, including aspects of personality and intelligence. Progress in identifying the neural correlates of individual differences in such traits, for the sake of basic science, has moved us closer to the applied science goal of measuring them and thereby raised ethical concerns about privacy. How realistic are such concerns given the current state of the art? In this article, we describe the statistical basis of the measurement of psychological traits using functional neuroimaging and examine the degree to which current functional neuroimaging protocols could be used for this purpose.
