Abstract

The strong programme of research in the study and development of cognitive technologies today is based on the hypothesis that these technologies are not only technical means which enable us to enhance our calculating, memorising or perceptive abilities, but that they actually play a key role in the constitution of human experience. The aim of the article is to provide this hypothesis with experimental content through the study of a series of very specific technical devices usually referred to as "sensory substitution systems". After analysing some of the results achieved so far, we describe several experiments on the construction of a three dimensional perceptual space through technical means. We then demonstrate the role of human action, and therefore, of the "corps propre" (the body from the point of view of the subject), in the process of the construction of perception. These experiments will also enable us to discuss the conditions for conducting fundamental research in the field of technology, combining scientific method and phenomenological analysis. In conclusion we suggest various possible lines of future research on this subject.

技术与知觉:感觉替代系统的贡献

今天，认知技术研究和发展的强大研究计划是基于这样一种假设:这些技术不仅是技术手段，使我们能够提高我们的计算、记忆或感知能力，而且它们实际上在人类经验的构成中起着关键作用。本文的目的是通过研究一系列非常具体的技术装置，通常被称为“感觉替代系统”，为这一假设提供实验内容。在分析了迄今为止取得的一些结果之后，我们描述了通过技术手段构建三维感知空间的几个实验。然后，我们展示了人类行为的作用，因此，“自我军团”(从主体的角度来看的身体)，在感知的构建过程中。这些实验也将使我们能够结合科学方法和现象学分析，讨论在技术领域进行基础研究的条件。最后，我们提出了关于这一主题的各种可能的未来研究方向。
