Lose control, gain influence - Concepts for Metacontrol
نویسنده
چکیده
The ideas explored here are based on questioning some common assumptions in the usual conceptual models of hybrid (NIME-style) instrument design, and thinking and playing through the implications of these alternate strategies in theory and implementation. They include: varying the mappings between controller input and changing them on the fly in performance, e.g. by gradually entangling or disentangling process parameters; recording instrument parameter state presets and control data (gesture) loops, and reusing them as flexible performance material; and creating networks of cross-influence between gestural input from multiple human players, other gestural sources, and multiple sound generating processes, which can be modified as part of the performance. In effect, this can be described as ’Lose Control, Gain Influence’ (LCGI): gracefully relinquishing full control of the processes involved, in order to gain higher-order forms influence on their behavior. These heuristics may lead both to finding non-obvious but interesting mapping strategies which can be built into more traditionally well-controlled instruments, and to new concepts for playing single-person instruments or multiplayer instrument ensembles based on networks of influence. Many of these ideas can be played with using software libraries written in SuperCollider.

Emotional metacontrol of attention: Top-down modulation of sensorimotor processes in a robotic visual search task
Emotions play a significant role in internal regulatory processes. In this paper, we advocate four key ideas. First, novelty detection can be grounded in the sensorimotor experience and allow higher order appraisal. Second, cognitive processes, such as those involved in self-assessment, influence emotional states by eliciting affects like boredom and frustration. Third, emotional processes such...
متن کاملInfluence of Permethrin and Cypermethrin on Behavior in the Mouse
Permethrin and Cypermethrin are synthetic pyrethroids, belonging to a group of insecticides with low mammalian toxicity and high insecticidal activity. The present study evaluated sub-acute toxicity of dermally administrated permethrin and cypermethrin in mice. Behavioral examination included assessments of lethality, weight gain, grooming, analgesymetry, anxiety, grasping, motor activity, and ...
متن کاملThe social transmission of metacontrol policies: Mechanisms underlying the interpersonal transfer of persistence and flexibility.
Humans often face binary cognitive-control dilemmas, with the choice between persistence and flexibility being a crucial one. Tackling these dilemmas requires metacontrol, i.e., the control of the current cognitive-control policy. As predicted from functional, psychometric, neuroscientific, and modeling approaches, interindividual variability in metacontrol biases towards persistence or flexibi...

This research paper investigation concerned with understanding the mechanisms and designing a rules of Metacontrol and Metacognition. This work investigated the concept of metacognition as a powerful catalyst for control, unify and self-reflection. Metacontrol is a part of the Metacognition task. Metacontrol rules decides which deliberative agents are to be learned and ready to perform in diffe...
متن کاملMaximizing Flow as a Metacontrol in Angband
Flow is a psychological state that is reported to improve people’s performance. Flow can emerge when the person’s skills and the challenges of their activity match. This paper applies this concept to artificial intelligence agents. We equip a decision-making agent with a metacontrol policy that guides the agent to activities where the agent’s skills match the activity difficulty. Consequently, ...
