Article Synopsis
- A new proposal suggests that a computational understanding of the self involves recognizing one's own body in space and time, framing self-representation as a complex computational challenge for human-like agents.
- Researchers conducted 'self-finding' tasks using simple video games, where 124 players needed to identify themselves among multiple options to succeed.
- The study found that human players perform nearly perfectly at self-orientation, while popular deep reinforcement learning algorithms struggle, indicating that self-orientation enables humans to adapt effectively to new environments.
