Mental acts of perception, reasoning, action and adaptation of humans beings

From the real World arises processes such as sensation, perception, action, cognition, emotion and interaction.
Of this, the most important is cognition, the seat of which is believed to reside in the cerebral cortex.
IoST concerns the main mental acts of perception, reasoning, action and adaptation of humans beings.
"Sensing events" provide us with useful information about our environment which complements that provided by other senses.
The sense world is essentially transparent; artificial and natural beings can perceive many different sensing events simultaneously.
Sensing events are easy to generate and manipulate, and so provide an excellent means for communication and understanding.
However, it is the very aspects which make senses useful that pose difficult problems for sensing processing.
How does the sensing system disentangle signals from different sensing sources?
How does the brain form representations which allow it to link intermittent sensing events from the same source through time?
How does it deal with ambiguity?
And how are our expectations molded both by previous experience and the current listening context?
The aims of my research are to understand sensing cognition using perceptual experiments and computational models, and to apply this understanding in the development of computationally efficient implementations for practical technological applications, and in the creation of novel intelligent sensing entities and sensing events detection (SED) processing units.
