© British Telecommunications plc, Invited Speakers Owen Holland (University of Essex) - History of Grey Walter Michael Arbib (University of Southern California, Los Angeles) - Neuroethology of language evolution Luc Steels (Sony Computer Science Laboratories, Paris) - Language, representations, situated games Randall Beer (Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland) - Modelling intelligence Gerald Edelman (The Neurosciences Institute, La Jolla) - Brain based animats Rolf Pfeifer (University of Zurich) - The role of animat morphology in adaptive behaviour Mandyam Srinivasan (Australian National University, Canberra) - Insect vision & neural nets Rodney Brooks (MIT, Boston) - History and future
© British Telecommunications plc, Michael Arbib A computational Neuroethology of Language Evolution Seeks to understand real neuronal mechanisms incrementally: Spatial navigation Hippocampus Rapid eye movements to visual targets & grasping Parietal & frontal cortex, mirror system Language ready brains
© British Telecommunications plc, Luc Steels Evolving and sharing representations through situated language games Focuses on external representations - language drawings, gestures Establishes communication system - by exchanging symbolic representations

© British Telecommunications plc, Randall Beer Frictionless Brains Look at dynamics of relationship between adjacent sub-models What happens if we add X to the simple model Environment Body Nervous System
