Reading: Jessica Bruder
No full textIn this audiovisual recording from Thursday, March 24, 2022, as part of the 53rd Annual UND Writers Conference: “Communities and the Individual,” Jessica Bruder reads excerpts from Nomadland. Bruder discusses what it means to be an immersion journalist and what brought her to write Nomadland. Bruder also responds to audience questions about the dynamic between author and those who share their stories for a novel like Nomadland, the connection between immersive journalism and the new journalism literary movement, the process of collecting, organizing, and transforming material into a novel, how faithful the film version of Nomadland was to the book, and if Linda ever got to build her Earthship.

Simulation as an engine of physical scene understanding
No full textIn a glance, we can perceive whether a stack of dishes will topple, a branch will support a child’s weight, a grocery bag is poorly packed and liable to tear or crush its contents, or a tool is firmly attached to a table or free to be lifted. Such rapid physical inferences are central to how people interact with the world and with each other, yet their computational underpinnings are poorly understood. We propose a model based on an “intuitive physics engine,” a cognitive mechanism similar to computer engines that simulate rich physics in video games and graphics, but that uses approximate, probabilistic simulations to make robust and fast inferences in complex natural scenes where crucial information is unobserved. This single model fits data from five distinct psychophysical tasks, captures several illusions and biases, and explains core aspects of human mental models and common-sense reasoning that are instrumental to how humans understand their everyday world.National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (5F32EY019228-02)United States.
