A Study of Cognitive Orbits Based on Man-machine Interactions

ABSTRACT

Representation-Computation is one of the topics consistently focused by researchers in the field of cognitive science. The representation of cognitive structures in the advanced cognition is an important part of research. How to observe and empirically validate the cognitive structures is meaningful. Based on man-machine interaction environments, a novel "Brain cognitive body - coupling Situations - information Manifolds (BSM)" cognition observation platform has been created, which allows users to observe and analyze cognitive processes and structures, selecting tree-based networks and other networks to represent low-dimensional cognitive topological manifolds, and to re-structure the cognitive structures and processes. Based on cognitive manifolds and cognitive dynamics, a cognitive process can be abstracted as a dynamical orbit in a low-dimensional cognitive manifold. The behaviors of the cognitive orbit are observed, related data are collected and the process is restructured in a low-dimensional cognitive manifold. The cognition is also analyzed by introducing mathematical methods, such as calculus and topology.
