The Perception-Action-Cycle is revisited within a biological systems approach and considers gesture in the context of Dynamic Systems Theory. A partial descriptive feature based model of Spatial Cognition in Action (SCA) is developed by the examination of children’s embodied gestures that are rooted in action. The model brings together ecological and corporeal paradigms with evidence from neuro...

Fading in wireless channels, the limited battery energy available in wireless handsets, the changing user demands and the increasing demand for high data rate and low delay pose serious design challenges in the future generations of mobile communication systems. It is necessary to develop efficient transmission policies that adapt to changes in network conditions and achieve the target delay an...

This paper presents a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the elementary building blocks of neurally inspired architectures for cognitive robotics. It provides a brief outline of the fundamental principles by which biological nervous systems link to the environment 5 in terms of perception, cognition, and behavior. We describe a class of dynamic neural activation variable based on these prin...

This paper analysis performance of energy detection technique for cognitive radio which implies spectrum sensing. Main objective is to reduce interference occur in the cognitive radio systems. Spectrum detection schemes are based on fixed threshold these are sensitive to noise; the energy detection based on dynamic threshold can improve the resistance of noise and get a good performance of dete...

Spectrum sensing is identified as one of the enabling technologies for spectrum opportunities detection in cognitive radio systems. Although the latest developments in cognitive radio regulation favor the database approach, spectrum sensing can provide reliable opportunistic spectrum access in dynamic and unpredictable environments [1]. Under these circumstances, the efficiency and reliability ...

One perspective in communication systems is to increase the spectrum utilization using cognitive radios. A cognitive radio is a network of intelligent co-existing radios which senses the environment to find the available frequency slots, white spaces, or the spectrum holes as noted in Akyildiz et al. (2008); Haykin (2005). Then, it modifies its transmission characteristics to use that particula...

in this article the methodology proposed by li and wang for mixed qualitative and quantitative modeling and simulation of temporal behavior of processing unit is reexamined and extended to more complex case. the main issue of their approach considers the multivariate statistics of principal component analysis (pca), along with clustered fuzzy digraphs and reasoning. the pca and fuzzy clustering...

algal growth and the water quality effects were studied and modeled in the lower reaches of the colusa basin drain as a stream system. statistical techniques such as the correlation matrix and the stepwise multiple regression are performed on such variables as algal biomass, ammonia, nitrate, orthophosphate, temperature, and the solar radiation intensity in deriving an algae statistical model. ...

Dynamicism has provided cognitive science with important tools to understand some aspects of “how cognitive agents work” but the issue of “what makes something cognitive” has not been sufficiently addressed yet, and, we argue, the former will never be complete without the later. Behavioristic characterizations of cognitive properties are criticized in favor of an organizational approach focused...
