Information Adaptation: The Interplay Between Shannon Information and Semantic Information in Cognition

Meer over het boek

Exploring the relationship between Shannon and semantic information, this monograph reveals how both types of information influence cognition. It introduces the concept of information adaptation, where the mind/brain adjusts to environmental information through its quantitative variations and meanings. The authors illustrate their theories mathematically and conceptually, focusing on three cognitive processes: pattern recognition, face learning, and moving object recognition, demonstrating the dynamic interplay between information types in cognitive development.
