In Exploring Robotic Minds: Actions, Symbols, and Consciousness as Self-Organizing Dynamic Phenomena, Jun Tani sets out to answer an essential and tantalizing question: How do our minds work? By providing an overview of his "synthetic neurorobotics" project, Tani reveals how symbols and concepts that represent the world can emerge in a neurodynamic structure--iterative interactions between the top-down subjective view, which proactively acts on the world, and the bottom-up recognition of the resultant perceptual reality. He argues that nontrivial problems of consciousness and free will could be addressed through structural understanding of such iterative, conflicting interactions between the top-down and the ...

Reviews for Exploring Robotic Minds
Jun Tani . . . has taken neurorobotics (and perhaps neurophilosophy) to the next level; through the creation (or perhaps tutelage) of robots that show true intentionality and can engage with us (through mimicry), much like a small child. This book is a beautifully articulated review of his work and offers some compelling conclusions about the nature of mind. It ... Read more
