BISCA-98 - Bolzano International School in Cognitive Analysis=20

UNFOLDING PERCEPTUAL CONTINUA
>From ecology of perception to cognition

Recent problems raised by artificial intelligence and cognitive sciences
such as the perception of forms, the recognition of natural languages, the
problems of common sense, naive physics, and consequently the need for
direct and non-propositional reference to the objects of experience (as
cited, for example by scientists working in robotics) have opened new
areas of inquiry for psychophysics.

BISCA-98 will analyze the morphogenesis of the perceptive fields of vision,
sound and touch, starting from the microstructure of intuitive continua, and
therefore from a semiology of primitives as boundaries, points, angles,
blobs, pointers, denotators, local signs, etc.

The lectures, which from a general point of view will adopt an ecological
perspective on perception, will proceed along the parallel tracks of
psychophysical experimental research and the conceptual development of a
theory of the intentionality of consciousness
