[4.6.22] Frontiers in Psychology has accepted our article, “Embodied Intelligence: Smooth Coping in the Learning Intelligent Decision Agent Cognitive Architecture.” In this article, we at the Cognitive Computing Research Group (CCRG) develop a realization of what phenomenologists call ‘smooth coping’ in an embodied artificial intelligence, LIDA. Smooth coping refers to the ongoing low-level attunement we have to situations, such as when we walk without thinking or drive a car.

[12.1.21] Frontiers in Psychology has accepted my article, “A relativistic theory of consciousness,” coauthored with Dr. Nir Lahav, a physicist from Bar-Ilan University. In it, we propose a solution to the hard problem of consciousness based on relativistic physics and phenomenology.

[5.28.21] Adaptive Behavior has now published my article, “Smooth coping: An embodied, Heideggerian approach to dual-process theory.” Dual-process theory recognizes (at least) two different categories of cognitive processes: slow, deliberative, and conscious Type 2 processes, and fast, intuitive, and nonconscious Type 1 processes. I argue for an expansion of Type 1 processes to include embodiment. See it here.

[5.11.21] The Journal of Artificial Intelligence and Consciousness will be publishing our CCRG research on goal-oriented behavior and narratives. See it here.

[2.2.21] The Journal of Artificial Intelligence and Consciousness is publishing my research with the CCRG on the body schema. We view the body schema as having three separate functions. See it here.
