Why Is Zenon Pylyshyn Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Zenon Walter Pylyshyn was a Canadian cognitive scientist and philosopher. He was a Canada Council Senior Fellow from 1963 to 1964. Pylyshyn's research generally involved the theoretical analysis of the nature of the human cognitive systems behind perception, imagination, and reasoning. He developed visual indexing theory which hypothesizes a pre-conceptual mechanism responsible for individuating, tracking, and directly referring to the visual properties encoded by cognitive processes. His very influential multiple object tracking experiment methodology emerged from this work.
