The opening sequence of Stanley Kubrick’s science fiction masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey is set in a desolate arid region millions of years ago, where a group of hominids is first seen munching on bushes and meager green plants amid a herd of tapirs. After being driven away from their water hole by a rival tribe, the defeated apes huddle together in

Natural Language Semantics, 2014
Sign languages are known to display the same general grammatical properties as spoken languages (‘Universal Grammar’), but also to make greater use of iconic mechanisms. In Schlenker et al.’s ‘Iconic Variables’ (Linguist Philos 36(2):91–149, 2013), it was argued that loci (= positions in signing space corresponding to discourse referents) can have an ...

ICONER: A TOOL FOR EVALUATING ICONS
ACM SIGCHI Bulletin, 1990Icons are becoming a popular component in the design of user interfaces. Finding icons which are most meaningful and clear to end-users poses a challenge to designers. To help with this challenge, "Iconer" was created as a tool that interface designers can use to quickly test icons with end-users.

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1983
Investigations of the processing of brief visual displays, and the explanation of such processing in terms of iconic memory, are reviewed. It is concluded that the concept of a pre-categorical sensory memory for visual material remains tenable. The ability to report material from brief visual displays is seen as depending upon parallel (and perhaps ...

During the development of computing and information processing over the last twenty years, the number of functions offered to the user has exponentially increased. This increase has resulted in two main problems: one at the physical level, the other at the cognitive level.

Nature, 2005
Scientific celebrity has a relativity all of its own. Some scientists are celebrated by their peers, some are treasured by their students, while others are lionized by the public at large. But very few are given the burden of being a celebrity to everyone, everywhere, all the time. Albert Einstein achieved that universality.

Abstract Students of animal communication use the word “ritualization” for the evolutionary process by which signals, such as a dog’s retracted lip, are built in as stereotyped hereditary traits. Ritualization takes a long time and it leads to a signal that requires little learning. A much faster way for a signal to become established is

Culture Shock — Patient as Icon, Icon as Patient
New England Journal of Medicine, 2008Dr. Abraham Verghese discusses the problem with a “chart as surrogate for the patient” approach. He believes that if one eschews the skilled and repeated examination of the real patient, then tests, consultations, and procedures that might not be needed are ordered, while simple diagnoses and new developments are overlooked.
