Extended bodies. Cognitive processes, aesthetic experience, and ethical issues related to the use of material and digital tools and prostheses

This certificate program explores the complex relationship between the human body, cognitive processes, aesthetic experiences, and ethical considerations arising from the use of both material and digital tools and prostheses. It aims to demonstrate how the human body, with attention to gender specifics, acts as a cognitive agent deeply intertwined with its material and digital environments. The program will examine the neurological mechanisms and cultural habits that shape these interactions. Key themes include the nature of the relationship between people and the tools they use (with specific examples like thermal cameras, video games, augmented reality, and robots), the cultural, cognitive, aesthetic, and moral impact of these relationships, and how we can effectively manage this impact. The knowledge gained is applicable in professional fields such as museum curation, creative industries, product design (both material and digital), and professions focused on media interfaces, video games, and human-machine interaction.

Facility Management M.Eng.

Factor Analysis - Peking University

This program delves into Factor Analysis, a statistical method originating from early work on intelligence measurement. Its primary goal, similar to Principal Component Analysis, is to reduce the dimensionality of data by compressing information from multiple variables into a smaller set of derived variables called 'factors'. These factors are designed to represent underlying structures and group original variables, aiming for a more parsimonious and interpretable model. The course explores both R-type factor analysis, which reduces the number of variables while keeping observations constant, and Q-type factor analysis, which reduces the number of observations while preserving the variables. The curriculum covers the theoretical underpinnings of factor analysis, including the orthogonal factor model, its mathematical formulation, assumptions, and the interpretation of its components. Students will learn about factor loadings, commonalities, unique variances, and how these relate to the covariance structure of the observed variables. The program also examines the relationship between factor analysis and linear models, highlighting key differences in their coefficients and the nature of latent variables. Further modules address the estimation of factor models, including methods like Principal Component Method and Maximum Likelihood Estimation. Students will gain insights into the process of identifying and estimating factor loadings and unique variances, as well as techniques for rotating factors to achieve more meaningful interpretations. The course also draws comparisons with Principal Component Analysis, distinguishing their objectives, interpretations, and mathematical properties.
