Persuasion. Philosophers have worried about it. Political and economic actors have weaponised it. Psychologists have measured it. Prose writers have required it. We’re all subjected to it. And some have even mastered it. Of them, we are often very suspicious. Why is that? Persuasion: A Key Idea for Business and Society asks the disciplines of philosophy, politics, psychology, and prose analysis – the 4 Ps of persuasion – to answer this important question.The book is written for students and teachers of business and marketing but will also guide researchers across the social sciences and humanities.

Human-computer confluence refers to an invisible, implicit, embodied or even implanted interaction between humans and system components. New classes of user interfaces are emerging that make use of several sensors and are able to adapt their physical properties to the current situational context of users.A key aspect of human-computer confluence is its potential for transforming human experience in the sense of bending, breaking and blending the barriers between the real, the virtual and the augmented, to allow users to experience their body and their world in new ways. Research on Presence, Embodiment and Brain-Computer Interface is already exploring these boundaries and asking questions such as: Can we seamlessly move between the virtual and the real? Can we assimilate fundamentally new senses through confluence? The aim of this book is to explore the boundaries and intersections of the multidisciplinary field of HCC and discuss its potential applications in different domains, including healthcare, education, training and even arts.

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are devices that enable people to communicate via thought alone. However, BCIs are now becoming practical tools for a wide variety of people, in many different situations. This book, written by many of the top BCI researchers and developers, reviews the latest progress in the different components of BCIs.
