IEEE TCDS Special Issue on “Prediction and Perception in Humans and Robots”
A call for papers for a Special Issue on “Prediction and Perception in Humans and Robots”, which I am co-editing with Alejandra Ciria, Bruno Lara, Emily S. Cross and Angelo Cangelosi in IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems, is open! Call available here: IEEE TCDS – special issue.
Experimental research, robotics implementations, and interdisciplinary works are particularly welcome, as well as theoretical contributions in the form of original research articles, reviews, and commentaries. This special issue invites researchers investigating topics related, but not limited, to:
- Attentional and gating mechanisms for action and sensory
information processing - Context- and task-dependent perceptual optimization
- Sensory attenuation/cancellation and sensory enhancement/facilitation
- Interplay of predictive and attentional mechanisms for prediction error minimization
- Multimodal integration and/or cross-modal interactions
- State representation learning
- Constrained innate priors that drive learning
- Prediction in language learning and comprehension
- Prediction error dynamics monitoring
- Dreaming, non-conscious perception, hallucination, altered perceptual phenomena
