Perception as an active process

Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (MATCOM), 1982, vol. 24, issue 6, 535-539

Abstract: A somewhat different view of sensory perception is presented. It is supposed that the perceptual process consists of two phases: the establishment of uncertainty about some feature of the environment, and the progressive removal of this uncertainty. The first phase demands active participation by the perceiving system; the second phase is largely a passive one. A preliminary mathematical structure for the passive phase is sketched, and some consequences of the active phase are anticipated.
