Hallucinations, perceptions in the absence of objectively identifiable stimuli, illustrate the
constructive nature of perception. Here, we highlight the role of prior beliefs as a critical …

The problem of common sense remains a major obstacle to progress in artificial intelligence.
Here, we argue that common sense in humans is founded on a set of basic capacities that …

Cognitive gadgets are distinctively human cognitive mechanisms–such as imitation, mind
reading, and language–that have been shaped by cultural rather than genetic evolution …

We analysed research that makes use of precocial species as animal models to describe the
interaction of predisposed mechanisms and environmental factors in early learning, in …

Biological nervous systems are created in a fundamentally different way than current
artificial neural networks. Despite its impressive results in a variety of different domains …

Humans spontaneously match information coming from different senses, in what we call
crossmodal associations. For instance, high-pitched sounds are preferentially associated …

" This book provides a framework for thinking about foundational philosophical questions
surrounding machine learning as an approach to artificial intelligence. Specifically, it links …

Equipped with an early social predisposition immediately post-birth, humans typically form
associations with mothers and other family members through exposure learning, canalized …

The AI chips increasingly focus on implementing neural computing at low power and cost.
The intelligent sensing, automation, and edge computing applications have been the market …

Neonates of different species are born with a set of predispositions that influence their early
orienting responses toward the first stimuli encountered in their life. Human neonates and …
