Ancient and contemporary theories of cognitive functions of music, its origins, and evolution
are reviewed. A hypothesis is presented that promises to unify the field and a theory is …

In this work, we propose a computational approach to the triadic model of Peircean semiosis
(meaning processes). We investigate theoretical constraints about the feasibility of simulated …

Simple Summary Detour behavior refers to the ability to reach a goal object that is not
directly accessible due to an obstacle (opaque or transparent) by circumventing it. It varies …

Modern robots have arrived at a very matured state both in their mechanical/control aspects
and their mental aspects. An Introduction to Robophilosophy explores the philosophical …

How to model meaning processes (semiosis) in artificial semiotic systems? Once all
computer simulation becomes tantamount to theoretical simulation, involving …

Music composition is a complex, multi-modal human activity, engaging faculties of
perception, memory, motor control, and cognition, and drawing on skills in abstract …

The paper presents color as a case study for the analysis of phenomena that pertain to
several levels of reality and are typically framed by different sciences and disciplines. Color …

Neste trabalho, apresenta-se um apanhado das novas fronteiras de pesquisa criadas a
partir da confluência entre as áreas de Inteligência Artificial e Robótica. Dentre outros …

The thesis presents a multi-agent computational model to explore a key question in
language emergence, ie, whether syntactic abilities result from innate, species-specific …

The purposes of this chapter are to introduce “spatial constraint theory” to archaeology and
to suggest that it is relevant to understanding prehistoric adaptations to caves and …
