A recent book by Jaime Gomez on foundations of representation for autonomous agents:
A New Foundation for Representation in Cognitive and Brain Science. Category Theory and the Hippocampus by Jaime Gómez. ISBN 978-94-007-7737-8, Springer Series in Cognitive and Neural Systems, Vol. 7, 2013.
From the introduction of the book:
The book is based on Gomez's research at the UPM Autonomous Systems Laboratory. It offers a proposal towards the deep understanding of brain function by defining a general framework for representation based on category theory. The idea is to bring this mathematical formalism into the domain of neural representation of physical spaces, setting the basis for a theory of mental representation, able to relate empirical findings, uniting them into a sound theoretical corpus.
