In partnership with Pets at Duke, LIVE FOR LIFE offers therapy dog visits for staff! Take a break to get some puppy cuddles or to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere to paw-sitively impact your mental health! Pet therapy can reduce stress and depression while providing a sense of companionship. Please note: Patients are not permitted to staff visits.
Departments can submit a request to schedule a dog team for a department event!
Abstract: Mental states represent the world in systematically different ways, encoding contents in multiple "codes" or "formats." For example, some mental states are thought to be image-like, others sentence-like; some analog, others symbolic. The interface problem concerns how agents can coordinate contents across different mental codes. The standard assumption is that interfaces incur distinctive costs: translation from one format to another is explanatorily mysterious and computationally difficult.
