Embodying “twoness in oneness” in Diana Evans’s26a

Social familiarity affects Diana monkey (Cercopithecus diana diana) alarm call responses in habitat-specific ways.

Male Diana monkeys produce loud and acoustically distinct alarm calls to leopards and eagles that propagate over long distances, much beyond the immediate group. Calling is often contagious, with neighbouring males responding to each other's calls, indicating that harem males communicate both to local group members and distant competitors. Here, we tested whether male Diana monkeys responding t...

The Degree of Oneness

This paper investigates the use of diploid structures and the possibility of using diploidy in non-standard, non-binary Genetic Algorithms. Unlike the conventional implementation of diploidy in GAs, which typically involves the use of dominance operators, the diploid schemes presented in this paper avoid the use of dominance altogether, while still being rooted firmly in natural biology. The us...

Embodying Self in Virtual Worlds

Players project their intentions, expressions and movements into virtual worlds. A dominant reference point for this projection is their avatar. We explore the transfer of a player's own body movements onto their virtual self, drawing on cognitive science's common coding theory as a model for understanding their self-recognition. This chapter presents the results of two sets of self-recognition...
