{"product_id":"conversion-devices-alexandra-kraeler-corbin-9781547251346","title":"Conversion Devices: Turning Ideas Into Forms","description":"All art, in fact, any freestanding object (including music) that is intentionally crafted, originates as a thinking process. This means it is very unlikely to manifest as an unique imaginary and retrievable snap-shot. It is a complex process and ultimately an obvious gross motor activity as much as it is guided by ideations. But the conception would remain in the nether regions of pre-imagination were it not stimulated by a deep brain behavioral hub that programs for self-perception. Then it is further converted by way of neuro-psychological editing habits guiding our gross sensory-motor actions into plastic form (including sound). This small book proposes that the major components of these efforts to create stable records derive from our ability to self-identify and our related compulsion to mimic. There is nothing new in this. What is a bit new is specifying those cognitive conversion devices and what types of neurons predicate them. The devices we discuss are; novelty, intention, mirroring and recursion. No part of creative endeavor resulting in a unique and stable form of expression could come to be without these devices that convert cognitive processing towards executing a thing. Imagine converting the hues of a sunset into a physical chunk of coal. It is that farfetched but we manage to do it all the time when extracting an idea, capturing it by some means and isolating it as a free standing entity. We create in order to demystify the world and lend a helpful hand to ourselves both to self-nurture and culturally nurture others simply in order to survive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexandra Kraeler Corbin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1547251344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781547251346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/22\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Alexandra Kraeler Corbin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068547657983,"sku":"9781547251346","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_57385a3f-eb24-4b37-b860-eee977817b63.jpg?v=1685419638","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conversion-devices-alexandra-kraeler-corbin-9781547251346","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
