Artificial Cognitive Systems

Here are some links to to resources that are relevant to my course on Artificial Cognitive Systems on my main website. I keep this material here on the wiki to make sure it is current and up-to-date.

Educational Resources

• MIT Open Courseware: Computational Cognitive Science
• Cognitive Systems Outreach coordinated by Joanna Bryson, University of Bath, UK.

Definitions of Cognition

• Over 40 Definitions of Cognition (it has proved difficult to define cognition and some argue that it isn't worth trying).
• A definition of a cognitive system from the Springer Reference Guide to Computer Vision.

White Papers

• Action selection for Intelligent Systems by Cyril Brom, Charles University, Prague, and Joanna Bryson, University of Bath, UK.

Tutorials and Resources

• Tutorial on Embodiment: a wide-ranging summary of the main aspects of this discipline, from cognitivist AI right through to embodied emergent cognition, by Matej Hoffmann, Dorit Assaf, and Rolf Pfeifer at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory Department of Informatics, University of Zurich
• Books and articles related to embodiment
• Situated / Embedded / Extended Cognition Resources: material provided by William Rapaport, University at Buffalo - State University of New York, for a course on cognitive science.
