To understand and quantify their emergence, we examined the nested underlying processes that contribute to observable behavior using three dynamical systems analyses: multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MFDFA), recurrence quantification analysis (RQA), and wavelet coherence analysis (WCT). As a technical demonstration of how to utilize multiple nonlinear analyses to probe multivariate data, we explain the appropriateness of each analysis for each stage of discovery, the information each provides, and the application of that information to driving. Results revealed that driving behaviors are influenced by both long-range (e.g., decision-making) and short-range (e.g., reaction time) processes whose relative contribution differs for the easier straight sections and more challenging S-curve sections of the track. The discussed methods provide information about (a) the timescale at which driving behaviors are being coordinated with environmental and automation considerations and (b) the time points where peak coordination is localized.

We investigate a progressive autonomy strategy supported by advanced artificial cognition techniques to improve decision-making in unforeseen situations and in the face of unknown conditions. We highlight the importance of these systems in performing essential safety functions through a three-dimensional approach: advanced perception for detailed environmental analysis; decision making based on robust algorithms for logical assessment of risk scenarios; and precise action and control to perform essential autonomous tasks. Additionally, we present a conceptual modeling that illustrates the progression of autonomy levels from total dependence to completely autonomous operation, highlighting the evolution of HRI systems through artificial cognitive autonomy. This article argues that decision-making optimization in HRI can be significantly improved through a detailed and incremental understanding of autonomy. By adopting enabling technologies, we enable autonomous agents to not only evolve within their environments, but also learn, understand and fulfill their responsibilities effectively. This theoretical approach promotes a systematic evolution of autonomy, as well as ensuring that robotic systems adapt and respond appropriately to the complex and dynamic demands of the environments in which they operate.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55242,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Systems Research","volume":"91 ","pages":"Article 101336"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143611618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we suggest that this problem may be overcome by taking inspiration from the brain where neurons operate as autonomous agents, each capable of adjusting its synaptic connections and internal states based on local information. Currently, typical artificial neurons are static nodes, which is in striking contrast to the rich, dynamic computations performed by biological neurons. In this review, we propose redesigning artificial neurons as self-regulating, agent-like units, making actions to maximize future energy/reward. Similarly, as single-celled organisms which can autonomously navigate in complex environments in search for food, neurons can also be viewed as autonomous decision-makers, seeking to maximize their own energy resources. Thus, neurons could be operating similarly like reinforcement learning (RL) agents, which make actions to obtain maximum future reward. Here first we review literature illustrating that biological neurons perform complex computations and employ local, predictive learning rules to anticipate future activity to maximize metabolic energy. Next, we provide examples of recent biologically inspired learning algorithms where artificial neurons are empowered with computational flexibility, similarly to autonomous agents. Networks with neurons using such local learning rules can in some examples outperform current AI algorithms. We also discuss how this can improve scalability of current multi-agent systems (MAS) and energy efficiency. Therefore, designing neurons as autonomous agents may provide an important step toward building human-like cognition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55242,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Systems Research","volume":"90 ","pages":"Article 101338"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143479106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Large language models (LLMs) can accelerate the development of comprehensive, extensive solutions that support mental health. However, the LLMs’ capability to generate and comprehend human-like conversations is one of the main challenges faced by psychiatric counselling. This work proposes a mental health counselling LLM-based conversational agent that relies on the integration of Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and Reinforcement learning. RAG provides the proposed LLM-based conversational agent with contextually relevant and accurate responses through useful information extracted from a curated dataset of psychological questions and answers pooled from mental health forums. Reinforcement Learning Integrated reward Model trained with Human feedback has also been used in the proposed framework to ensure contractually of the responses generated with moral and human values. By setting up a reward mechanism that considers variables like user feedback and empathetic scores of responses, the proposed Conversational Agent learns to prioritize empathetic answers and the ones that are user preferable. With the utilization of reward-based training, the agent was able to show substantial improvements in response quality. Improved emotional alignment, steady training dynamics, decreased hallucination rates with responses having less distress and increased empathy values were the significant outcomes. The proposed methodology ensures that the conversational agent remains attentive to the emotional requirements of people seeking for mental health care and provide improved relevance and accuracy in its responses.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55242,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Systems Research","volume":"90 ","pages":"Article 101337"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143510955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
