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
