Of Models and Machines: Implementing Bounded Rationality.

Isis; an international review devoted to the history of science and its cultural influences
This essay explores the early history of Herbert Simon's principle of bounded rationality in the context of his Artificial Intelligence research in the mid 1950s. It focuses in particular on how Simon and his colleagues at the RAND Corporation transl...

Neuromodelling based on evolutionary robotics: on the importance of motor control for spatial attention.

Cognitive processing
Mainstream approaches to modelling cognitive processes have typically focused on (1) reproducing their neural underpinning, without regard to sensory-motor systems and (2) producing a single, ideal computational model. Evolutionary robotics is an alt...

Evolutionary game dynamics of controlled and automatic decision-making.

Chaos (Woodbury, N.Y.)
We integrate dual-process theories of human cognition with evolutionary game theory to study the evolution of automatic and controlled decision-making processes. We introduce a model in which agents who make decisions using either automatic or contro...

Self-organizing neural networks integrating domain knowledge and reinforcement learning.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
The use of domain knowledge in learning systems is expected to improve learning efficiency and reduce model complexity. However, due to the incompatibility with knowledge structure of the learning systems and real-time exploratory nature of reinforce...

Intrinsic excitability state of local neuronal population modulates signal propagation in feed-forward neural networks.

Chaos (Woodbury, N.Y.)
Reliable signal propagation across distributed brain areas is an essential requirement for cognitive function, and it has been investigated extensively in computational studies where feed-forward network (FFN) is taken as a generic model. But it is s...

Do post-stroke patients benefit from robotic verticalization? A pilot-study focusing on a novel neurophysiological approach.

Restorative neurology and neuroscience
BACKGROUND: Tilt-table equipped with the dynamic foot-support (ERIGO) and the functional electric stimulation could be a safe and suitable device for stabilization of vital signs, increasing patient's motivation for further recovery, decreasing the d...

Effects of pyridostigmine bromide on in-flight aircrew performance.

Human factors
The effects of a chemical defense pretreatment drug, pyridostigmine bromide (PB), on in-flight aircrew performance were assessed using the Total In-Flight Simulator (TIFS) aircraft. TIFS was used to supply appropriate control dynamics, handling chara...
