The role of cognitive memory in ‘becoming’ of the complexly organised systems is briefly considered from the viewpoint of the general systems theory; the role of Georgian neurophysiologists in emphasising cognitive aspects of memory role in animal behaviour is underlined. This book examines the aspects of cognitive visual memory in cats.

The challenge of creating a real-life computational equivalent of the human mind requires that we better understand at a computational level how natural intelligent systems develop their cognitive and learning functions. In recent years, biologically inspired cognitive architectures have emerged as a powerful new approach toward gaining this kind of understanding (here "biologically inspired" is understood broadly as "brain-mind inspired"). Still, despite impressive successes and growing interest in BICA, wide gaps separate different approaches from each other and from solutions found in biology. Modern scientific societies pursue related yet separate goals, while the mission of the BICA Society consists in the integration of many efforts in addressing the above challenge. Therefore, the BICA Society shall bring together researchers from disjointed fields and communities who devote their efforts to solving the same challenge, despite that they may "speak different languages". This will be achieved by promoting and facilitating the transdisciplinary study of cognitive architectures, and in the long-term perspective – creating one unifying widespread framework for the human-level cognitive architectures and their implementations. This book is a proceedings of the Third Annual Meeting of the BICA Society, which was hold in Palermo-Italy from October 31 to November 2, 2012. The book describes recent advances and new challenges around the theme of understanding how to create general-purpose humanlike artificial intelligence using inspirations from studies of the brain and the mind.

Fault Diagnosis and Prognostics Based on Cognitive Computing and Geometric Space Transformation


Free Download Fault Diagnosis and Prognostics Based on Cognitive Computing and Geometric Space Transformation
English | 2024 | ISBN: 9819989167 | 893 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 157 MB
This monograph introduces readers to new theories and methods applying cognitive computing and geometric space transformation to the field of fault diagnosis and prognostics. It summarizes the basic concepts and technical aspects of fault diagnosis and prognostics technology. Existing bottleneck problems are examined, and the advantages of applying cognitive computing and geometric space transformation are explained. In turn, the book highlights fault diagnosis, prognostic, and health assessment technologies based on cognitive computing methods, including deep learning, transfer learning, visual cognition, and compressed sensing. Lastly, it covers technologies based on differential geometry, space transformation, and pattern recognition.

Ambiguity in Mind and Nature Multistable Cognitive Phenomena


Free Download Ambiguity in Mind and Nature: Multistable Cognitive Phenomena By G. Roth (auth.), Dr. Peter Kruse, Professor Dr. Michael Stadler (eds.)
1995 | 493 Pages | ISBN: 3642784135 | PDF | 16 MB
Ambiguity in Mind and Nature is the result of cognitive multistability, the phenomenon in which an unchanging stimulus, usually visual, gives rise in the subject to an oscillating perceptual interpretation. The vase/face picture is one of the most famous examples. In this book scientists from many disciplines including physics, biology, psychology, maths and computer science, present recent progress in this fascinating area of cognitive science. Using the phenomenon of multistability as a paradigm they seek to understand how meaning originates in the brain as a consequence of cognitive processes. New advances are achieved by applying concepts such as self-organization, chaos theory and complex systems to the latest results of psychological and neurophysical experiments.

Cognitive Wireless Networks Concepts, Methodologies and Visions Inspiring the Age of Enlightenment of Wireless Communications


Free Download Marcos D. Katz, "Cognitive Wireless Networks: Concepts, Methodologies and Visions Inspiring the Age of Enlightenment of Wireless Communications"
English | 2007 | pages: 725 | ISBN: 1402059787 | PDF | 79,1 mb
In the Age of Enlightenment the German philosopher Immanuel Kant encouraged people to use their own mind as the basis for reasoning instead of following dogmatic religious rules – Sapere aude! (dare to know!) – Today wireless communication networks are increasingly becoming aware of the conditions of its their component parts and surrounding environment. Cognition, a continuous process involving sensing, reasoning, understanding and reacting, can be applied to wireless networks in order to adapt the system to the highly dynamic wireless ecosystem. The ultimate goals are to enhance the efficiency in the use of radio resources as well as to improve both link and network performance. This book presents a detailed overview of a rapidly emerging topic in modern communications: cognitive wireless networks. The key aspects of cognitive and cooperative principles in wireless networks are discussed in this book. Furthermore, Cognitive Wireless Networks advocates the concept of breaking up the cellular communication architecture by introducing cooperative strategies among wireless devices. Cognitive wireless networking is the key to success in handling the upcoming dynamic network configurations and exploiting this cross-over to the fullest extent.
