My interests in cognitive science
I have a strong interest in music-related perception and cognition,
and "psychoacoustics", with my background in contemporary and
experimental music.
I took the basic courses in Software Engineering at Carnegie-Mellon
University back in the 1970's, including Artificial Intelligence with
Dr. Raj Reddy. But the landscape has changed significantly since then
since the return of neural networks and other advances in related
fields, and the (debatable) failure of symbolic oriented systems to
meet some of their ambitious goals.
Recently I have been doing a lot of armchair reading, in philosophy
related to AI and cognition (starting with lots of Daniel
Dennett), cognitive linguistics (Lakoff), also various "popular"
books (not too technical although not exactly bestsellers either :-)
on neuroscience, etc.
Links concerning music perception and cognition
this is just a placeholder, I will try and make a decent list
here as a resource to the CogSci mailing list
Links to Cognitive Science pages around the Net
