Institute of General Semantics

Thu, 09 Oct 2008 22:29:46 -0700

A non-profit organization established in 1938 by philosopher and futurist Alfred Korzybski, author of Manhood of Humanity and Science and Sanity: An Introduction to Non-Aristotelian Systems and General Semantics. Korzybski's general semantics involves the exploration of new systematic methods for evaluating and improving the ways individuals integrate their own worlds of symbols/language with non-verbal realities. Many noteworthy philosophers and futurists--from R. Buckminster Fuller to Alvin Toffler--have associated with the Institute over the years.

GS also publishes a quarterly journal, ETC: A Review of General Semantics.

PLoS ONE: Culture Shapes How We Look at Faces

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 21:31:04 -0700

"Face processing, amongst many basic visual skills, is thought to be invariant across all humans. From as early as 1965, studies of eye movements have consistently revealed a systematic triangular sequence of fixations over the eyes and the mouth, suggesting that faces elicit a universal, biologically-determined information extraction pattern."

"[Our] results demonstrate that face processing can no longer be considered as arising from a universal series of perceptual events. The strategy employed to extract visual information from faces differs across cultures."
