Part of the book series: Cognitive Systems Monographs ((COSMOS,volume 22))

Abstract

This collection of chapters looks at a diverse set of topics in the study of cognition. These topics do not of course, despite their broad range, include all the pieces needed for a whole mind. However, what this collection provides is explorations of how some very different research topics can be brought together through shared themes and outlook.
