✦ Synopsis

This book has been inspired by the portfolio of recent scientific outputs from a range of European and national research initiatives in cognitive science. Its aim is to compile the various emerging research strands within a single text as a reference point for progress in the field and as a guide for new researchers on the breadth of the field and the interconnections between the various research strands identified here. This compliation will be of interest not only to those working in the fields of computer science and AI but also to psychologists, neural scientists and engineers involved in the development of advanced robotics, mechatronic and HCI systems. CONTENTS The embodiment paradigm and the emerging cognitive architecture; Cognitivism versus Emergentism; Humanoid robotic development; Interaction with symbolic systems; Understanding bodily anticipation; Understanding and modelling chaotic behaviour; Modelling dynamic social complexity; Understanding speech production; Realistic behaviour in game playing; The effect of music on emotional reactions; Diversity in cognitive models. RELATED TITLES Flexible Robot Manipulators: Modelling, simulation and control. 978-0-86341-448-0. 2008 Motion Vision: Design of compact motion sensing solutions for navigation of autonomous systems. 978-0-86341-453-4. 2005 Programming Industrial Control Systems Using IEC 1131-3. 978-0-85296-950-2. 1998.The Institution of Engineering and Technology is one of the world's leading professional societies for the engineering and technology community.
