Leibovitz, D. P. (2011) Vision, Spiders & Time. Talk presented at Carleton University, pp. 1-34, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. [doi: 10.13140/RG.2.1.4201.9047]
Abstract: How is vision perception related to imagination and planning? What is the role of attention (saccades)? Can smart spiders shed light on human cognition?
- They have severe engineering restrictions
- They take a long time to think
- How does that affect cognition
I will relate spider time to practical matters. Hopefully, you will also come to appreciate spiders as well :).
