Why our best theories of perception lead to Anti-reductionism

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig

Basic percepts and observation sentences, such as "the voltmeter is at 7A", provide the ground truth for realistic theories. Reduction is the second backbone of these theories linking, for example, neuroscience to physics. First, we will show, by mathemati ...

Bayesian estimation of visual discomfort

Nicolas Morel

A method is proposed to estimate objectively occupants' visual discomfort in small office rooms as a function of the illuminance at one or more locations. Expressed as a visual discomfort probability, it is based on an analysis of the past history of the u ...
