Illusions in modal reasoning.

Sound-induced Flash Illusions as a Paradigm of Multisensorial Integration: a Review Article

Sound-induced flash illusions, first described in 2000, provide a valid example of perception as a multisensorial experience where all sensorial modalities work together. Audio-visual illusions can be classified in “fission” and “fusion” illusions. Whether one flash is accompanied by two or three auditory stimuli (or beeps), it’s often perceived as multiple flashes (fission illusion), by contra...

Illusions in reasoning about consistency.

Reasoners succumb to predictable illusions in evaluating whether sets of assertions are consistent. We report two studies of this computationally intractable task of "satisfiability." The results show that as the number of possibilities compatible with the assertions increases, the difficulty of the task increases, and that reasoners represent what is true according to assertions, not what is f...

No Fool ' s Cold : Notes on Illusions of Possibility 1

A lot of philosophers are pessimistic about conceivability evidence. They think it doesn't prove, or even go very far towards justifying, interesting modal conclusions. A number of other philosophers are optimistic; they think it does justify, and perhaps even establish beyond a reasonable doubt, that lots of interesting things are possible. Nothing very surprising there. What is slightly surpr...

A Modal Characterization of Granular Reasoning Based on Scott – Montague Models

Granular reasoning proposed by Murai et al. is a mechanism for reasoning using granular computing, and the concept of “focus” has been proposed as a key concept of granular reasoning. On the other hand, the authors have proposed another concept of granularity, called “visibility”. In this paper, we try to capture the concepts of visibility and focus as modalities of modal logics by introducing ...
