Sensors research covers creating sensors suitable for artificial life, able to capture and transfer externally originated information in realtime using limited resources, as well as clarifying nature of sensor inputs, outputs and sensor auto-adoption to aHuman intentions and environment conditions.

Terms

sensor - capture and passive feedback element
external property - property of external world captured by sensor
capture area - part of external world, perceived by sensor
capture resolution - set of external world properties, captured by sensor
attention - energy amplifier, factor, by which external energy is multiplied in sequence
sensor control state - sensor state, defining current capture area, capture resolution and attention
exposed property - sensor property available to perception by external world, generated by sensor control state
sensor stream - output items streamed to other areas of mind
sensor sequence - part of sensor stream representing one capture area snapshot
sequence length - number of items in sensor sequence
sequence width - number of variables in sensor sequence item vector
sensor variable - value of output of sensor neuron
