Currently reading the collection «Practicing Embodied Thinking in Research and Learning» edited by Donata Schoeller, Sigridur Thorgeirsdottir, and Greg Walkerden and it is really very good! Not only does the concept of «embodied critical thinking» resonate with everything I’ve been working towards in my own research, but it also offers a really simple and common-sense antidote to AI in higher education, based on the notion of bringing our own embodied experiences and felt sense to critical t…

Practicing Embodied Thinking in Research and Learning | Donata Schoell
This book delves into the embodied ground of thinking, illuminating the transition from theorising about the embodied mind to actively practising embodied

Zi Teng Wang, a magician and molecular biologist in Missouri had the idea:
implant a computer chip in his hand and do magic tricks with it.
— Too bad he forgot the password.
It sounds like a joke but it really happened

Effective medium theory for embedded sound-soft obstacles in an anisotropic inhomogeneous medium with applications
This paper investigates the problem of time-harmonic acoustic scattering in an inhomogeneous medium with a complex topological structure. Specifically, the medium is anisotropic and contains several disjoint sound-soft obstacles. This model commonly arises in the inverse scattering problem of simultaneously recovering the embedded obstacles and the surrounding medium. We propose a novel theoretical framework that demonstrates how embedded obstacles can be effectively approximated by an isotropi…

Stochastic Embedding of Digraphs into DAGs
Given a weighted digraph $G=(V,E,w)$, a stochastic embedding into DAGs is a distribution $\mathcal{D}$ over pairs of DAGs $(D_1,D_2)$ such that for every $u,v$: (1) the reachability is preserved: $u\rightsquigarrow_G v$ (i.e., $v$ is reachable from $u$ in $G$) implies that $u\rightsquigarrow_{D_1} v$ or $u\rightsquigarrow_{D_2} v$ (but not both), and (2) distances are dominated: $d_G(u,v)\le\min\{d_{D_1}(u,v),d_{D_2}(u,v)\}$. The stochastic embedding $\mathcal{D}$ has expected distortion $t$ if…

Embedded Deep Learning for Bio-hybrid Plant Sensors to Detect Increased Heat and Ozone Levels
We present a bio-hybrid environmental sensor system that integrates natural plants and embedded deep learning for real-time, on-device detection of temperature and ozone level changes. Our system, based on the low-power PhytoNode platform, records electric differential potential signals from Hedera helix and processes them onboard using an embedded deep learning model. We demonstrate that our sensing device detects changes in temperature and ozone with good sensitivity of up to 0.98. Daily and …

Low-Complexity Wireless Multi-Port Sensing by Multiplexed De-Embedding of an Over-the-Air Fixture
Wireless multi-port sensing remotely retrieves the scattering matrix of a multi-port device under test (DUT) connected to a set of not-directly-accessible (NDA) antennas that couple over-the-air (OTA) to a set of accessible antennas. If (i) the OTA fixture characteristics are known, and (ii) the number of independent measurements at the accessible antennas is sufficient, the OTA fixture can be de-embedded to recover the DUT characteristics. In recent prior work, we solved (i) by connecting the …
