... age, confounding any interpretation of perceptual maturation. Further, the infant’s gaze duration, an assumed cue to stimulus detection, may lengthen or shorten nonlinearly with infant age. Infant psychophysics investigators have neglected the role of the observer, resulting in an accumulation...

... were scrutinized. Findings Anthropomorphization arose because single neurons were cast as “observers” who “identify”, “categorize”, “recognize”, “distinguish” or “discriminate” the stimuli, using math-based algorithms that reduce (“decode”) the stimulus-evoked spike trains to the particular stimuli...

... a hidden element in neuroscientists’ use of Shannon Information Theory, namely, Homunculus. Almost 50 years’ worth of computations are recognized as irrelevant, mandating fresh approaches to understanding “discriminability.” Information theory Brain Homunculus Neuron Observer Symmetry...

... and digital not as properties of observed phenomena but as properties of observers, I ask not what is digital or analog, but what I do when I use these terms. I analyze introspectively, and report on, what I think my assumptions are when using the two terms. Findings I develop...

... findings. First, an understanding that context is constructed by the observer. Second, the need to implement a meta‐model to permit circularity between the model and the modelled. Research limitations/implications This paper presents the conceptual underpinning for a project and design strategy...
