Cartography of the Mental Topography of Free-Energy Minimization: A Computational Approach Based on Narrative Trajectory Analysis Using Large Language Models (LLMs)

How does the brain protect its beliefs from contradictory facts? Neuroscience answers: through free-energy minimization (FEP, K. Friston), but it does not know the content of these defenses. Linguistics is able to analyze text topics but does not see the dynamics of cognitive tri...

Measuring Digital Amnesia: Psychometric Validation of the Turkish Digital Amnesia Scale with Exploratory Network Analysis

The widespread integration of digital technologies has increased reliance on digital systems for storing and retrieving information, a phenomenon referred to as digital amnesia. Digital amnesia reflects technology-mediated cognitive offloading within human-computer interaction. T...
