within the neuroscience and computational neuroscience communities, applications such as evaluating different cognitive responses of the brain, brain-computer interface (bci) systems and brain connectivity studies have increasingly been using eeg phase information during the past few decades. the utility of eeg phase can be directly linked to the neural propagation and synchronized firing of ne...

Many problem-solving tasks involve other people. Often, accomplishment of a task requires coordination with others, an enterprise that might be called cooperative problem solving. Unfortunately, however, we also face problems that require us t6 take into account the actions of opponents; this is adversarial problem solving (APS). Both kinds of social problem solving have been relatively neglect...

Since its definition by McCarthy in 1969, the Frame Problem (FP) has been one of the more heavily debated problems in AI. Part of the debate has been on the exact definition of what the FP really is. The computational aspect of the FP can be thought of as reasoning about what changes and what doesn’t change in a dynamic world. The “sleeping dog strategy” is considered to be a viable solution to...
