Muller et al.: Retinal motion statistics during natural locomotion. Pretty cool! elifesciences.org/articles/82410

Me and Jami Pekkanen 🐋 looking forward to engaging & enlightening discussions on the philosophical foundations of CogSci at the PaMoSa conference next week. Delivering a keynote on the role of Direct Perception in ecological theory... let's see how the 4E people take to it... 🧐

So many “Es”! Otto Lappi

On the spectrum between batshit enactivism and batshit cognitivism

There's SO MUCH going on in just a small piece of natural expert performance! 🔥 And *definitely* going to have to adopt poly-nerding in all my lectures as an alternative term for an ecological approach to CogSci & understanding the differences that make a difference!!!🤓 🧠⏱️

Imagine people arguing about whether artificial hearts pump blood. “It’s only blood-pumping if meat hearts do it.” “Hearts don’t pump blood, people pump blood.” “‘Pumping’ is an outdated mechanical metaphor that cannot do justice to the complexities of biogenic fluid transport.”

We are thrilled to share our groundbreaking paper published today in nature: "Champion-Level Drone Racing using Deep Reinforcement Learning." We introduce "Swift," the first autonomous vision-based drone that beat human world champions in several fair head-to-head races! PDF

Nature did amazing work putting up this 5-minute video explanation of how our Swift AI drone works and how it combines data from simulation and the physical world to train the AI controller, and why simulation alone is not enough. It features an interview with drone-racing world
