Joseph Wakeling's Neural Systems Research Page
Research papers and information on biologically inspired neural networks, brain modelling, AI and related topics. A crossdisciplinary site mixing information from physics, neuroscience, cognitive science and other fields.

Extractions: Denmark jwakeling@webdrake.net Neural Systems Research home . papers source code books links What's new? A new paper is available, Adaptivity and 'Per learning' , written for a special issue of Physica A in memory of Per Bak. Work at the Niels Bohr Institute is being very productive and hopefully before too long there should be some new material for this site! This site is eternally, always, under construction. It describes results in neural systems research by me (Joseph Wakeling). At the time of writing I am pursuing a PhD in Theoretical Physics at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, after graduating from Imperial College, London, with an MSci in Mathematics. As well as my own research, you can find here links and information on other related papers and subjects that I feel are interesting or relevant, including AI, cognitive science and related physics research. What do physicists have to contribute to the understanding of neural systems? The aim is to gain an understanding of the fundamental mechanics that are at work. Neuroscientists have identified the 'macro' regions of the (human) brain responsible for many aspects of behaviour and/or experience - vision, hearing, touch, smell etc. - but macro regions of the brain differ from organism to organism. What is it that links the brain of a human with that of an octopus, that of a lobster, that of a lizard? In particular, what is it about the basic interactions of individual neurons that produces the overall behavioural patterns that we see?
Towards A Cognitive Science Of Science - Structural Cognition
Towards a cognitive science of Science. I will attempt here to show some of these mechanisms and to reveal the bases of a cognitive approach to science.
http://www.arxia.com/florian/cog/

Extractions: Towards a Cognitive Science of Science by Razvan V. Florian Note : This paper was written during spring 1999. I see now a bit differently some of the issues discussed in this paper; however I still hold with the implications and applications proposed at that time. I plan to post here soon an updated version of this paper. Music search engine 1. Foreword Up to our times, the mastering of sciences (especially those considered 'hard' ones, like mathematics and physics) remains reserved to a elite. In school, the students who feel comfortable with those sciences are considered somehow gifted by the others and the failure rates are extremely high. On the other hand, the teaching of science is still done almost empirically. The examples of the powerful results of the science and technology are legion around us. However, we have basically the same genetic material as the our ancestors who lived some millenniums ago, when the world was much simpler and the notion of mathematics barely existed. The brains that we have are made (from an evolutionary point of view) not for physics and mathematics, but for survival in the savanna. This means that behind the complexity of the science of our days, there are some basic cognitive mechanisms that are accessible to everyone. The unraveling of these mechanisms would not only ease a lot the teaching of science and democratize it, but even explain why we could have a science at all and open new ways of doing it.
UH CogSci Lexicon: Compositionality
From the University of Houston cognitive science Lexicon.
http://www.hfac.uh.edu/cogsci/lang/Entries/compositionality.html

Extractions: Compositionality is a feature of language in virtue of which the meaning of a sentence is a function of the meanings of its constituent parts. For example, the meaning of the sentence 'John thought the dog fetched the stick' is a function of the meanings of the component phrases 'the dog fetched the stick' and 'John thought,' whose meanings are in turn a function of their parts. Compositionality is related to the semantic theory of truth, developed by Alfred Tarski (1902-83), which maintains that a sentence's truth is a function of the satisfaction conditions of its parts. A satisfaction condition of, for example, the predicate 'is greater than seven' is any number which is greater than seven. See Also:

General Philosophy (Wittgenstein, Dretske, Nagarjuna, Heidegger, and others.) Films and Popular Culture (Film reviews, principles of criticism, and other resources.) One of the principal claims of this site is that mental images exist on a continuum of modalities: from instances that may be described as clearly due to physical causes to those that seem to have only mental causes. The diagram below suggests this continuum, indicating several types of images. The properties of mental images change according to their type. The more we move in the direction of mental causation, the more involved images seem to be with language, and the less important their visual properties become. For example, the deduction (depicted below) "B is taller than A is taller than C, so B is taller than C"
Damjan Bojadziev: Self-reference In Phenomenology And Cognitive Science
Damjan Bojadziev. Selfreference in phenomenology and cognitive science. in E. Baumgartner et al (ed.), Handbook of Phenomenology
http://nl.ijs.si/~damjan/phen.html

Extractions: More generally, we cannot see our heads with our own eyes, as noted by the man who "lost" his head in Harding 's story (Hofstadter, D. and Dennett, D. 1981, p. 23); more specifically, and more necessarily, we cannot see our own eyes with our own eyes. This limitation of vision as a basic phenomenological, or meta-phenomenological fact is not made much of in phenomenology itself; buddhism seems more susceptible to it, along with traditional metaphysics, which regards the self as the origin of the perceptual field, or a point of view on the world (Evans, G. 1982, p. 222). In representationist cognitive science, the irreflexivity of vision could be related to the postulated lowest level of representation, at which the physical carrier of representations is not itself represented, "does not exist" (Perry, J. 1985). Comparing the limitation of self-reflection in a formal system with our inability to see our own eyes (faces, heads, ...) seems to suggest an obvious remedy: just as we use

Extractions: The Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (BCS) supports research to develop and advance scientific knowledge focusing on human cognition, language, social behavior and culture, as well as research on the interactions between human societies and the physical environment. BCS programs consider proposals that fall squarely within disciplines, but they also encourage and support interdisciplinary projects, which are evaluated through joint review among Programs in BCS, as well as joint review with programs in other Divisions, and NSF-wide multi-disciplinary panels, as appropriate. All programs in BCS consider proposals for research projects, conferences, and workshops. Some programs also consider proposals for doctoral dissertation improvement assistance, the acquisition of specialized research and computing equipment, group international travel, and large-scale data collection. BCS participates in special initiatives and competitions on a number of topics, including the human dimensions of global change, cognitive science and intelligent systems, and infrastructure to improve data resources, data archives, collaboratories, and centers.
