Development of a Dynamical Model for Retina-based Control of an RC Monster Truck

At the Institute of Neurinformatics (INI), a shared institute of the University of Zurich (UZH) and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETHZ), a dynamic vision sensor for fast visual processing has been developed. The dynamic vision sensor uses a silicon retina to detect contrast changes in a scene. An ongoing project is to develop a controller based on a silicon retina for a smal...

Monster Analogies

tion. Over the centuries, it has become reified in that analogical reasoning has sometimes been regarded as a fundamental cognitive process. In addition, it has become identified with a particular expressive format. The limitations of the modern view are illustrated by monster analogies, which show that analogy need not be regarded as something having a single form, format, or semantics. Analog...
