    Undecidability in the imitation game
    with T. Ikegami
    Minds and Machines 14 (2): 133-43. 2004.
      This paper considers undecidability in the imitation game, the so-called Turing Test. In the Turing Test, a human, a machine, and an interrogator are the players of the game. In our model of the Turing Test, the machine and the interrogator are formalized as Turing machines, allowing us to derive several impossibility results concerning the capabilities of the interrogator. The key issue is that the validity of the Turing test is not attributed to the capability of human or machine, but rather…Read more

    Authors' Response: From Bodily Extension to Bodily Incorporation
    with H. Iizuka and T. Ikegami
    Constructivist Foundations 9 (1): 89-92. 2013.
    Upshot: In the model simulation and the human experiment, we observed that attention shifted from a tool to a task. This was accompanied by bodily extension. However, our experiments lack a sense of bodily incorporation (the sense of ownership. Based on the valuable commentaries, we would like to discuss the necessary conditions for possible bodily incorporation in terms of redundant degrees of freedom, synchronous visual tactile stimulation, and 1/f noise

    Investigating Extended Embodiment Using a Computational Model and Human Experimentation
    with H. Iizuka and T. Ikegami
    Constructivist Foundations 9 (1): 73-84. 2013.
    Context: Our body schema is not restricted to biological body boundaries (such as the skin), as can be seen in the use of a cane by a person who is visually impaired or the “rubber hands” experiment. The tool becomes a part of the body schema when the focus of our attention is shifted from the tool to the task to be performed. Problem: A body schema is formed through interactions among brain, body, tool, and environment. Nevertheless, the dynamic mechanisms underlying changes in the body schema …Read more
