NEURAL NETWORKS: 2009 SPECIAL ISSUE - What it Means to Communicate

S. Wermter, M. Page, M. Knowles, V. Gallese, F. Pulvermüller and J. Taylor.

Elsevier, Volume 22, Number 2, March, 2009.

The general aim of this special issue is to focus on "What it means to communicate" and to understand the neural, cognitive, formal, computational and developmental features that have led to communication differences between humans and animals.

A number of interesting and successful research directions have been explored including learning by imitation, examining the origin of human rule based reasoning, studying the neural origins of language, exploring the evolutionary origins of the human mind, researching into verbal and nonverbal communication, using and interpreting signs, characterising human language by structural complexity, and representing abstract concepts. To complement this, computation and neural robotics aims to explore a multimodal understanding of verbal and visual communication for embodied action understanding leading towards formal models of knowledge representation and reasoning.
