- Abstract summary: In psychophysics, a researcher parametrically varies some aspects of a stimulus, and measures the resulting changes in a human subject's experience of that stimulus.
This approach is used heavily in perceptual domains, including signal detection, threshold measurement, and ideal observer analysis.
Machine perception that is guided by behavioral measurements, as opposed to guidance restricted to arbitrarily assigned human labels, has significant potential to fuel further progress in artificial intelligence.

- Abstract: {G}{ustav} Fechner's 1860 delineation of psychophysics, the measurement of
sensation in relation to its stimulus, is widely considered to be the advent of
modern psychological science. In psychophysics, a researcher parametrically
varies some aspects of a stimulus, and measures the resulting changes in a
human subject's experience of that stimulus; doing so gives insight to the
determining relationship between a sensation and the physical input that evoked
it. This approach is used heavily in perceptual domains, including signal
detection, threshold measurement, and ideal observer analysis. Scientific
fields like vision science have always leaned heavily on the methods and
procedures of psychophysics, but there is now growing appreciation of them by
machine learning researchers, sparked by widening overlap between biological
and artificial perception \cite{rojas2011automatic,
scheirer2014perceptual,escalera2014chalearn,zhang2018agil,
grieggs2021measuring}. Machine perception that is guided by behavioral
measurements, as opposed to guidance restricted to arbitrarily assigned human
labels, has significant potential to fuel further progress in artificial
intelligence.

I argue that psychometric measures of intelligence, such as the g-factor or IQ, indirectly approximate the extent of conscious experience.
Based on a broader source of both scientific and metaphysical theories of consciousness, I argue that all systems possess a degree of consciousness of ascertainable psychometrically.

Exploration of the physical environment is an indispensable precursor to data acquisition and enables knowledge generation via analytical or direct trialing.
This work links human behavior and artificial agents to endorse self-development.
A study is subsequently designed to mirror previous human trials, which artificial agents are made to undergo repeatedly towards convergence.
Results demonstrate causality, learned by the vast majority of agents, between their internal states and exploration to match those reported for human counterparts.

In social robotics, endowing humanoid robots with the ability to generate bodily expressions of affect can improve human-robot interaction and collaboration.
We implement a deep learning data-driven framework that learns from a few hand-designed robotic bodily expressions.
The evaluation study found that the anthropomorphism and animacy of the generated expressions are not perceived differently from the hand-designed ones.

We show that it is possible to replicate human behavioral data in both individual and social task settings by modifying the precision of prior and sensory signals.
An analysis of the neural activation traces of the trained networks provides evidence that information is coded in fundamentally different ways in the network in the individual and in the social conditions.

We present a benchmark consisting of procedurally generated 3D animations, AGENT, structured around four scenarios.
