MASI BOOK
The Hidden Structure of Interaction: From Neurons to Culture Patterns. Edited by: L. Anolli, University of Milan-Bicocca, Milan, Italy. S. Duncan JR., University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA, M.S. Magnusson, University of Iceland, Reykjavik, Iceland and G. Riva, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore Milan, Italy.
MASI
MASI stands for Research Group on Methodology for the Analysis of Social Interaction. The group was founded in 1995 and the activities have been summarized in the book ‘The Hidden Structure of Interaction’ edited by Anolli et al, 2005. In the view of the MASI group social interaction is something very generic. It is not confined to traditional psychology or ethology. Its principles apply to vastly different areas like linguistics, media sciences, facial expression studies, and electrophysiology of neural tissues.
MASI 2012 - FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
The Seventh Meeting of the MASI Research Group on Methodology for the Analysis of Social Interaction will take place at the University of Guadalajara, Mexico, in the first or second week of November 2012. Abstracts should be submitted by 1st August by e-mail to gjonsson@hi.is.
Measuring Behavior 2012
The 8th International Conference on Methods and Techniques in Behavioral research, Measuring Behavior 2012, will take place on 28-31 August 2012 in Utrecht, The Netherlands. Stay updated on the latest news and updates and visit www.measuringbehavior.org for more information.
The Human Behavior Laboratory is dedicated to theoretical and methodological development concerning the spatio-temporal organization of human behavior and interactions.
The focus is on the development and testing of mathematical pattern types for the description and analysis of behavior as a complex process that takes place in real-time and space. A series of related patterns have already been defined and are now called the t-language or the t-system.
Special software,Theme, has been developed for the testing of the t-system and for its research application, but this software development is now in the hands of PatternVision Ltd.
The Theme software frequently detects complex hidden patterns that are missed by other available methods and software.
The focus is mainly on human behavior but behavior of other animals is also considered because of the important perspective it often provides on the human case.
