2. 1. Unleashing Animal-Computer Interaction : A Theoretical Investigation of the “I” in ACI

   Author : Fredrik Aspling; Oskar Juhlin; Clara Mancini; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Animal-Computer Interaction; Multispecies Ethnography; Theory; Theoretical Pluralism; Actor-Network Theory; Ethnomethodology; Rhetorics; Kinesthetic Empathy; Man-Machine-Interaction MMI ; människa-maskin-interaktion MMI ;

   Abstract : Non-human animals have had a long co-existence and relationship with human culture and society, and we interact with them in a number of ways, and for various reasons. Their involvement in technology can be traced back more than half a century, initially restricted to scientific contexts, for example, for the study of animal behavior, cognition, or language learning abilities.

5. 3. Nonhuman Moral Agency: A Practice-Focused Exploration of Moral Agency in Nonhuman Animals and Artificial Intelligence

   Author : Dorna Behdadi; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; moral agency; moral responsibility; artificial intelligence; nonhuman animal; moral psychology; practice-focused; blame; social norm; Strawson; participant stance; consciousness; moral status; moral patient; machine ethics; animal ethics;

   Abstract : Can nonhuman animals and artificial intelligence (AI) entities be attributed moral agency? The general assumption in the philosophical literature is that moral agency applies exclusively to humans since they alone possess free will or capacities required for deliberate reflection. Consequently, only humans have been taken to be eligible for ascriptions of moral responsibility in terms of, for instance, blame or praise, moral criticism, or attributions of vice and virtue.

6. 4. Computer Simulation of the Neural Control of Locomotion in the Cat

   Author : Nalin Harischandra; Örjan Ekeberg; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Locomotion; Computer simulation; Central pattern generator; Muscle activation; Linear transfer functions; Sensory feedback; Neural control; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

   Abstract : Locomotion is one of the most important behaviours and requires interaction between sensors at various levels of the nervous system and the limb muscles of an animal. The basic neural rhythm for locomotion in mammals has been shown to arise from local neural networks residing in the spinal cord and these networks are known as central pattern generators (CPGs).

7. 5. The puzzle of social activity : the significance of tools in cognition and cooperation

   Author : Tarja Susi; Tom Ziemke; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cognition science; social interactions; subject-object relationship; human-computer; Cognitive science; Kognitionsvetenskap;

   Abstract : This dissertation addresses the role of tools in social interactions, or more precisely the significance of tools in cognition and cooperation, from a situated cognition perspective. While mainstream cognitive science focuses on the internal symbolic representations and computational thought processes inside the heads of individuals, situated cognition approaches instead emphasise the central role of the interaction between agents and their material and social environment.
