Sensory Synergy: Understanding the Role of Environmental Feedback in Octopus Communication and Cognition

EasyChair Preprint 15043

Abstract

The octopus, a highly intelligent cephalopod, utilizes a remarkable combination of sensory inputs to navigate its complex underwater environment. This article explores the role of environmental feedback in octopus communication and cognition, highlighting how these creatures integrate sensory information from their surroundings to inform behavior and decision-making. By examining the mechanisms of sensory synergy—where multiple sensory modalities work together—we gain insights into the cognitive processes of octopuses. These findings not only enhance our understanding of cephalopod intelligence but also offer valuable lessons for the development of advanced artificial intelligence systems.
