Representations of Space and Time in the Maximization of Information Flow in the Perception-Action Loop
(2007)
Sensor evolution in nature aims at improving the acquisition of information from the environment and is intimately related with selection pressure toward adaptivity and robustness. Our work in the area indicates that ...
Solving the correspondence problem in robotic imitation across embodiments: synchrony, perception and culture in artifacts
(Cambridge University Press, 2007)
The narrative construction of our (social) world: steps towards an interactive learning environment for children with autism
(2007)
Children with autism exhibit a deficit in narrative comprehension which adversely impacts upon their social world. The authors’ research agenda is to develop an interactive software system which promotes an understanding ...
Information-Theoretic Modeling of Sensory Ecology: Channels of Organism-Specific Meaningful Information
(MIT Press, 2007)
Information theory developed by C. Shannon and his followers in the mathematical theory of communication surprisingly but successfully abstracted away from two questions: (1) the origin and maintenance of information ...
Sexyloop: Self-Reproduction, Evolution and Sex in Cellular Automata
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007)
We created a simple evolutionary system, sexyloop, on a deterministic ten-state five-neighbour cellular automaton (CA) where self-reproducing loops have the capability of sex. With this ability, the loops are capable of ...
Grounding Action-Selection in Event-Based Anticipation
(2007)
Anticipation is one of the key aspects involved in flexible and adaptive behavior. The ability for an autonomous agent to extract a relevant model of its coupling with the environment and of the environment itself can ...
Creating a software to promote understanding about narrative in children with autism: Reflecting on the design of feedback and opportunities to reason
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007)
