    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; AI; image processing; spontaneous activity; motion detection; knowledge acquisition; homunculus; evolutionary epistemology; evolution; cognition; noise; neural networks; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Sammanfattning : The brain is not silent. Even in the absence of stimuli are the neurons activated every now and then in what is called "spontaneous" or "background activity" which provides a noisy background to the operation of the brain. This work shows how this noise can be utilized in the cognitive process. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : In the group of people with whom I have worked most closely, we recently attempted to dress our visionary goal in words: “to learn enough about human face-to-face interaction that we are able to create an artificial conversational partner that is humanlike”. The “conversational homunculus” figuring in the title of this book represents this “artificial conversational partner”. LÄS MER
