Unconscious modulation of the conscious experience of voluntary control

Linser, Katrin 05 June 2007 (has links) (PDF)
How does the brain generate our experience of being in control over our actions and their effects? Here I argue that the perception of events as self-caused emerges from a comparison between anticipated and actual action-effects: if the representation of an event that follows an action is activated before the action, the event is experienced as caused by one’s own action, whereas in the case of a mismatch it will be attributed to an external cause rather than to the self. In a subliminal priming paradigm I show that participants overestimated how much control they had over objectively uncontrollable stimuli, which appeared after free- or forced-choice actions, when a masked prime activated a representation of the stimuli immediately before each action. This prime-induced control-illusion was independent from whether primes were consciously perceived. Results indicate that the conscious experience of control is modulated by unconscious anticipations of action-effects.

Zeit-Kritik als Form der Templation durch Medien des 21. Jahrhunderts

Lorenz, Hans Christopher 05 March 2015 (has links)
Wie können Theodor W. Adornos medienkritische Thesen – als wohl prominentester Beitrag gilt das in Zusammenarbeit mit Max Horkheimer entstandene Kapitel „Kulturindustrie. Aufklärung als Massenbetrug (1944)“ – in ihrer Gesamtheit mit heute auf Basis algorithmischer Transformationen prozessierenden zeitkritischen Medien in Bezug gesetzt werden? Wo lässt sich der Begriff der „Manipulation“ erweitern, oder neu verorten, wenn Mediensysteme als „nicht-menschliche Akteure“ (Bruno Latour) im mikrotemporalen Bereich prozessieren, entscheiden und im technikepistemologisch orientierten medienwissenschaftlichen Diskurs eine Akzentverschiebung und gar Aktualisierung des Begriffs „Medien-Kritik“ beziehungsweise „Zeit-Kritik“ anregen? Und mit welchen Abhandlungen hat womöglich Adorno selbst bereits ein Denken eröffnet hinzu der Erörterung von Funktions- und Zeitwe(i)sen von Medien als Basis von Manipulation menschlicher Wahrnehmung auf subliminaler Ebene? / How can the aggregate of Theodor W. Adornos media-critical hypotheses be relativised to todays time-critical media which effect processes on the basis of algorithmic transformations – the most prominent contribution arguably being constituted by the chapter “The Culture Industry. Enlightenment as Mass Deception” (1944), formulated in collaboration with Max Horkheimer? Within which sphere can the concept of “manipulation” be expanded, or re-contextualised, if media systems – essentially “non-human actors” (Bruno Latour) – effect processes and decisions in the micro-temporal sphere and, thus, trigger a shift in emphasis and a re-definition of the concept of “critique of media” or “critique of time” even within technologically and epistemologically orientated scholarly media discourse? And which are the treatises by means of which Adorno may have himself already opened up a school of thought, supplementing the debate on the methods (and systems) of media functioning and media-specific temporal considerations as the basis for the manipulation of human perception at a subliminal level?

A Novel Approach to Youth Crime Prevention: Mindfulness Meditation Classes in South African Townships / A Novel Approach to Youth Crime Prevention : Mindfulness Meditation Classes in South African Townships

Kneip, Katharina January 2020 (has links)
Children growing up in poor areas with high crime rates are shown to easily get involved in violent actions and criminal gangs. In South Africa, despite considerable efforts to reduce youth delinquency, youth crime rates are still disturbingly high – specifically, in the townships of the Cape Flats. This paper points out an important aspect previously unaddressed by most youth crime prevention: the subconscious roots of youth crime. What if we could develop youth crime prevention programs that manage to impact the subconscious behavioral patterns of youth in high crime areas? This paper proposes a  promising and cost-effective approach that has great potential to affect multipe causes of crime: mindfulness meditation. Built upon newest findings in Neuroscience, this paper suggests that mindfulness meditation classes are associated with a reduction in aggressive behavior, a risk factor for youth crime, and an increase in self-efficacy, a protective factor. The impact of mindfulness classes at a high school in Khayelitsha, a poor and violent-stricken township of Cape Town, is analyzed. Self-reported aggression and self-efficacy are measured via a psychometric survey questionnaire created from two well-tested and validated scales. Regression analyses of 384 survey answers provided mixed results. Whilst novice meditators were not associated with higher self-efficacy and lower aggression, long-term meditators performed better in several dimensions of self-efficacy and aggression, yet no significant relationship was found. Further research specifically needs to investigate the moderating effect of age (a proxy for psychological development) on meditation. This study aims to bridge the gap between the outdated paradigms of youth crime prevention and ancient wisdom via ground-breaking new evidence from the field of Neuroscience. This study furthermore hopes to point policy makers toward developing new, integrative and sustainable approaches to youth crime prevention – approaches that give back agency to our youth. / <p>Anders Westholm har inget med betygssättningen att göra annat än i rent formellt hänseende (examinator). Det är han som rapporterar in och skriver under men i sak är det seminarieledaren som har beslutet i sin hand. Statsvetenskapliga institutet har som princip att skilja på handledning och examination vilket innebär att handledaren inte får vara seminarieledare.
