Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Cognition
  • Cognitive science

His primary scientific interests are in Cognition, Cognitive psychology, Visual perception, Cognitive science and Mental image. His Cognition research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Perception and Embodied cognition. Zenon W. Pylyshyn combines subjects such as Vision science, Artificial intelligence, Object and Visual Objects with his study of Visual perception.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Mental representation and Representation in addition to Cognitive science. His Mental image study incorporates themes from Tacit knowledge, Focus, Mental rotation and Interpretation. His research in Computer vision tackles topics such as Communication which are related to areas like Subitizing.

His most cited work include:

  • Connectionism and cognitive architecture: a critical analysis (2767 citations)
  • Tracking multiple independent targets: Evidence for a parallel tracking mechanism* (1421 citations)
  • What the Mind’s Eye Tells the Mind’s Brain: A Critique of Mental Imagery (1257 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Zenon W. Pylyshyn spends much of his time researching Artificial intelligence, Computer vision, Cognitive psychology, Cognitive science and Video tracking. The various areas that Zenon W. Pylyshyn examines in his Artificial intelligence study include Subitizing, Visual attention, Communication and Pattern recognition. His research in Computer vision intersects with topics in Visual Objects and Eye movement.

His work carried out in the field of Cognitive psychology brings together such families of science as Visual perception, Perception and Cognition, Mental image. His Cognitive science research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Mental representation, Connectionism, Philosophy of mind, Cognitive architecture and Representation. His Video tracking study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Correspondence problem and Deep-sky object.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Artificial intelligence (40.00%)
  • Computer vision (31.72%)
  • Cognitive psychology (25.52%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2014)?

  • Artificial intelligence (40.00%)
  • Computer vision (31.72%)
  • Video tracking (19.31%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Artificial intelligence, Computer vision, Video tracking, Tracking and Cognitive psychology. His Artificial intelligence research includes themes of Communication and Pattern recognition. In general Computer vision, his work in Tracking system is often linked to Occlusion and Locus linking many areas of study.

His Video tracking study incorporates themes from Singular term and Deep-sky object. His Cognitive psychology research incorporates elements of N2pc and Perception. The concepts of his Perception study are interwoven with issues in Mental representation, Meaning, Content and Semantic property.

Between 2008 and 2014, his most popular works were:

  • Minds Without Meanings: An Essay on the Content of Concepts (33 citations)
  • Do objects in working memory compete with objects in perception (28 citations)
  • A simple proximity heuristic allows tracking of multiple objects through occlusion (27 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Cognition
  • Cognitive science

Zenon W. Pylyshyn mainly investigates Artificial intelligence, Computer vision, Video tracking, Object and Communication. His research integrates issues of Discrimination learning, Visual attention and Numerosity adaptation effect in his study of Artificial intelligence. His work on Tracking as part of general Computer vision study is frequently linked to Locus, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Working memory, Cognitive psychology, Speech recognition and Visual memory. His Cognitive psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cognition and Perception. The Communication study combines topics in areas such as Subitizing, Pattern recognition, Small set and Space perception.
