Katja Liebal (Universität Leipzig), “Comparative Approach to Human Cognition: Possibilities and Challenges”
MAR 2.057Aiming to understand human psychology and what makes humans “unique” benefits from a frame of reference against which to assess it. Comparing human psychology with that of other animals, particularly our closest relatives, nonhuman primates, can provide such a frame of reference and thereby contribute to identifying the defining characteristics of the human species. Studying
Caleb Weinreb (Harvard Medical School), “A seconds-long timescale in naturalistic behavior structures neural dynamics”
A core task of animal cognition is to carve the world up into relevant contextual states – based on sensory input, internal drives, and awareness of one’s own recent behavior – and then hold these state assignments in working memory as guides for action and anchors for learning. By training animals to perform asks with
Marta Halina (University of Cambridge), “Intuitive Physics in Nonhuman Animals”
Abstract: Comparative psychologists have spent the last few decades examining whether nonhuman animals understand the physical world in a way that is similar to humans. Broadly, human intuitive physics is thought to include a collection of abilities, such as knowing that solid objects continue to exist even when no longer perceived and that objects tend

Ralf M. Haefner (University of Rochester, NY), “How we move our eyes to collect information”
MAR 2.057Abstract Collecting new information about the outside world is a key aspect of brain function. In the context of vision, we move our eyes multiple times per second to accumulate evidence about a scene. Prior studies have suggested that this process is goal-directed and close to optimal. Here, we show that this process of seeking
Berlin Summer School of Artificial Intelligence and Society
Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057Berlin is currently facing numerous challenges, ranging from the modernization of public administration to the adaptation to climate change, from traffic planning to the regulation of the housing market, the implementation of an efficient health care system and creating incentives for a more sustainable lifestyle with the involvement of citizens. In this context, the effective
Berlin University Alliance’s Open Space Event on AI and Ethics (in German)
Our members Dafna Burema and Jonas Frenkel will take part at "THE OPEN KNOWLEDGE LAB" Berlin as speakers, which thrives on active exchange between science, business, politics, and urban society. The BUA OPEN SPACE salon series provides a platform for dialogue on current social issues and networking: impulses from science and subsequent discussions provide deeper
Berlin Brains – Restless gaze, stable vision: SCIoI members Martin Rolfs and Nina Hanning @Zeiss Grand Planetarium Berlin
Zeiss-Großplanetarium, Prenzlauer Allee 80, 10405 BerlinLive Event at Zeiss-Großplanetarium (Zeiss Grand Planetarium), Berlin with SCIoI memebers Martin Rolfs and Nina Hanning, titled "Restless gaze, stable vision: The camera work of our eyes." About: Our eyes are restless; they constantly orient themselves toward new aspects of the environment. If they were cameras, the recorded film would be dizzying. And yet our

Jörg Raisch (Science of Intelligence), “Efficient and Privacy-Preserving Consensus in Multi-Agent Systems”
SCIoI, Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057Achieving consensus, i.e., agreeing on objectives and on relevant aspects of the environment, is a prerequisite whenever a group of individuals (“agents”) attempt to cooperatively solve a task. This requires information exchange between agents. In technical scenarios, information exchange is via wireless communication channels, which exhibit interference. Standard implementations aim at avoiding interference by resorting
