The neurobiological nature of free willBjörn Brembs
Our own experience of our free will has been classified as either supernatural or an illusion because it is difficult to reconcile with macroscopic determinism as well as with microscopic quantum randomness. The former constituting a prison in which no freedom can exist, the latter signifying destructive chaos rather than creative action. Lost in this dichotomy is the demonstrated constructive combination of chance and necessity in complex systems, such as evolution. Recent converging evidence from neuroscience, ecology and genetics suggests that nervous systems, including human brains, have evolved neural circuits that harness (potentially quantum) chance events by embedding them in the controlling architecture of neuronal rules, in order to carefully inject them as creative components into ongoing goal-directed behavior. This presentation contains evidence that this form of behavioral variability may constitute a necessary neural mechanism for free will to evolve in humans.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

JMeter webinar - integration with InfluxDB and GrafanaRTTS
Watch this recorded webinar about real-time monitoring of application performance. See how to integrate Apache JMeter, the open-source leader in performance testing, with InfluxDB, the open-source time-series database, and Grafana, the open-source analytics and visualization application.
In this webinar, we will review the benefits of leveraging InfluxDB and Grafana when executing load tests and demonstrate how these tools are used to visualize performance metrics.
Length: 30 minutes
Session Overview
-------------------------------------------
During this webinar, we will cover the following topics while demonstrating the integrations of JMeter, InfluxDB and Grafana:
- What out-of-the-box solutions are available for real-time monitoring JMeter tests?
- What are the benefits of integrating InfluxDB and Grafana into the load testing stack?
- Which features are provided by Grafana?
- Demonstration of InfluxDB and Grafana using a practice web application
