Embodied intersubjectivity, sedimentation and non-actual motion expressions

Enacting a social ecology: radically embodied intersubjectivity

Embodied approaches to cognitive science frequently describe the mind as "world-involving," indicating complementary and interdependent relationships between an agent and its environment. The precise nature of the environment is frequently left ill-described, however, and provides a challenge for such approaches, particularly, it is noted here, for the enactive approach which emphasizes this co...

Subtleties of facial expressions in embodied agents

Our goal is to develop a Believable Embodied Agent able to dialog with a user, but we aim at making an Agent that can also combine facial expressions in a complex and subtle way, just like a Human Agent does. We first review a taxonomy of communicative functions that our Agent is able to express non-verbally; but we point out that, due to the complexity of communication, in some cases different...

Gallese, V. & Cuccio, V. (2015). The Paradigmatic Body - Embodied Simulation, Intersubjectivity, the Bodily Self, and Language

In this paper we propose a way in which cognitive neuroscience could provide new insights on three aspects of social cognition: intersubjectivity, the human self, and language. We emphasize the crucial role of the body, conceived as the constitutive source of pre-reflective consciousness of the self and of the other. We provide a critical view of contemporary social cognitive neuroscience, argu...

Creating Emotions and Facial Expressions for Embodied Agents

under the supervision of my promoter, Anton Nijholt, and my daily supervisor , Dirk Heylen. As a Computer Science student, I had no problem with programming or any Computer Science related stuff. However, a big challenge had arrived-reading psychological literature. Psychology, a social subject, is much much different from mathematics or computer science. No more exact concepts, no more precise...
