Interdisciplinarity in Artificial Cognition Research
Interdisciplinary research provides inspirations and insights into how a variety of disciplines can contribute to the formulation of an alternative path to artificial cognition systems. The chapter suggests that results from ethology, evolutionary theory and epistemology can be condensed into four boundary conditions. They lead to the outline of an architecture for genuine cognitive systems, wh...
متن کاملDoing Science in Uncertain Times
A scientist living in Russia is often asked two questions: “Why haven’t you left?” and “Is it still possible to work there?” The best response to the fi rst question is, “Why should I?”—which either terminates the conversation or leads to a stimulating discussion about the fate of the world.

To my surprise, I also remain hopeful. Not a hope that everything will be fine. Not a hope that my cancer will be cure...
متن کاملThe evolution of interdisciplinarity in physics research
Science, being a social enterprise, is subject to fragmentation into groups that focus on specialized areas or topics. Often new advances occur through cross-fertilization of ideas between sub-fields that otherwise have little overlap as they study dissimilar phenomena using different techniques. Thus to explore the nature and dynamics of scientific progress one needs to consider the organizati...
متن کاملInterdisciplinarity in nursing education and research.
Multidisciplinarity differs from interdisciplinarity in regards to the level of mutual interaction assumed by the different disciplines involved. In multidisciplinarity, the disciplines work together while preserving their independence; in other words, the limits of the disciplines are preserved. In interdisciplinarity, there is a strong interdependence and each discipline uses a similar or the...
