This so-called mirror image cognition is based on artificial nerve cell groups built into the robot's computer brain that give it the ability to recognize itself and acknowledge others. The ground-breaking technology could eventually lead to robots able to express emotions." There is Slashdot discussion here.

Thu, 28 Jul 2005 21:33:40 -0500 http://www.greatmindsworking.com/pn/Article342.html Slashdot has coverage of this Cornell University news article comparing mental processing to computer processing. From the article, "The theory that the mind works like a computer, in a series of distinct stages, was an important steppingstone in cognitive science, but it has outlived its usefulness, concludes a new Cornell University study. Instead, the mind should be thought of more as working the way biological organisms do: as a dynamic continuum, cascading through shades of grey." Wed, 29 Jun 2005 20:54:03 -0500
