Tools for thought University of Antwerp
In deze thesis verken ik de filosofie van de cognitiewetenschappen.

Het VEP voorziet ons van een formalisme waarmee we de activiteit ...

Nowhere is this made clearer than in the context of mental causation, where the denial of downward causation has led to the proliferation of epiphenomenalist ...
A highly accurate portable electrochemical sensor for cocaine University of Antwerp
Illicit drugs are everywhere in our society. The clandestine market is growing faster than ever before, with record breaking seizures in Europe (and particularly Belgium) concerning cocaine. Cocaine is singled out as a major substance of interest, in Europe and Belgium in particular. Currently used field tests for cocaine detection have several downfalls. They lack specificity, leading to false positive results, and are also easily bypassed by ...

By incorporating the experience of real audiences into the discussion of “on-demand culture” (Tryon, 2018), this research contributes to the theorization of the concept of “internet television” from an experiential point of view. It explores the ...
