Cognitive Neuroscience Robotics is the first introductory book on this new interdisciplinary area. This book consists of two volumes, the first of which, Synthetic Approaches to Human Understanding, advances human understanding from a robotics or engineering point of view. The second, Analytic Approaches to Human Understanding,
addresses related subjects in cognitive science and neuroscience. These
two volumes are intended to complement each other in order to more
comprehensively investigate human cognitive functions, to develop
human-friendly information and robot technology (IRT) systems, and to
understand what kind of beings we humans are.
Volume A describes
how human cognitive functions can be replicated in artificial systems
such as robots, and investigates how artificial systems could acquire
intelligent behaviors through interaction with others and their
environment.
