Abstract: I will discuss research on a powerful biological model system, the natural clonal fish Amazon molly. Mothers in this female-only species produce genetically identical offspring, allowing us to employ

Abstract: Collective behavior, as exhibited by bird flocks, fish schools or insect swarms, is a fascinating example of self-organized behavior in biology. Mathematical models of flocking were key for the

Abstract:   Anthropomorphic robot features are intended to trigger the activation of social scripts from human-human interaction, thereby offering an intuitive approach to interact with robots. Whereas this seems to be

This Thursday 15 September (2-5pm) is SCIoI’s Open Day! On this day, SCIoI offers visitors the chance to catch a glimpse of our cluster, its activities, and open positions. During

Abstract The collective behaviour of animals has attracted considerable attention in recent years, with many studies exploring how local interactions between individuals can give rise to global group properties. The

Abstract: The brain is a complex dynamical system with processes operating on different spatial scales. At the macroscopic end one observes global dynamical phenomena, which are called „brain states“ and

Many claims have been made that machine intelligence could make humans superfluous in the near future. Today this claim is largely seen as overstated, but it is still important to

Abstract: Sense of agency (SOA) refers to the experience of controlling one’s own actions and corresponding effects. Social agency refers to SOA in situations where other social agents are involved.

Consensus algorithms are routinely employed in a variety of multi-agent scenarios. They require that each agent iteratively evaluates a multivariate function of its neighbours’ information states. If a wireless communication channel

We take varying perspectives to the state of the art in Computer Vision: e.g. from SCIoI, disciplinary and interdisciplinary viewpoints. Sampling from the multi-modal state vector distribution, we inspect currently
