We comment on a recent behavioral study in which we describe a human-like beckoning gesture in 2 groups of bonobos, used in combination with sexual solicitation postures. The beckoning gesture fulfils key criteria of deixis and iconicity, in that it communicates to a distant recipient the desired travel path in relation to a specific social intention, i.e., to have sex at another location. We d...

290 Abstract: Critical image processing tasks can be efficiently executed by fusion of images taken from range of distributed sensors. Advancements in digital image processing and communication technology with invent of new sensors experiencing the excessive need of effective image quality assessment of image fusion techniques. Various metrics have been discussed for quality measurement of fuse...

Comparative analysis of the gestural communication of our nearest animal relatives, the great apes, implies that humans should have the biological potential to produce and understand 60-70 gestures, by virtue of shared common descent. These gestures are used intentionally in apes to convey separate requests, rather than as referential items in syntactically structured signals. At present, no su...

Complexity science frequently addresses the self-referential aspects of complex adaptive systems. Recent research in organization theory similarly refers to these systems as autopoietic. This paper reformulates existing theories of organizational learning and knowledge in terms of autopoietic organization theory. Within this framework, communication is the basic organizational operation. Organi...

Referential ambiguity arises whenever readers or listeners are unable to select a unique referent for a linguistic expression out of multiple candidates. In the current article, we review a series of neurocognitive experiments from our laboratory that examine the neural correlates of referential ambiguity, and that employ the brain signature of referential ambiguity to derive functional propert...
