Science of Intelligence, the Berlin School of Mind and Brain and the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience are happy to invite to the Berlin Winter School "Ethics of Neuroscience and AI" 2025. The Winter School is a five days conference which covers a broad field of topics from philosophical ethics to ethics of research and

Decision making strategies in the face of conflicting or uncertain sensory input have been successfully described in many different species. Here we analyze large behavioral datasets of larval zebrafish engaged in a ‘coherent dot’ optomotor assay. We find that animal performance is bimodal and can be separated into two ‘states’, an engaged state where performance
Scalability is often lauded as one of the advantages of decentralized multi-robot systems and robot swarms. Theory and many experimental works predict that with increasing swarm density, we will observe a gradual decay of performance. In our work, we have taken a closer look at the scalability of robot swarms in different settings and we
What can AI systems do? Answering this question requires us to model their capabilities, but this first demands a clear conception of what capabilities are and which tools we can use to measure them. I advance a dispositional account of capabilities, understanding them as a system’s propensity to behave in certain ways under certain conditions.
Far-reaching perspectives in swarm robotics consider robots that are minimalist in their sensing, communication and computation, but are deployed in thousands to collaborate towards the accomplishment of tasks distributed in space and time. Generally speaking, future robot swarms might face harsh operating conditions where little communication is possible and no external infrastructure is available. These
This event brings together a wide range of speakers to discuss the challenges and opportunities in Embodied Intelligence research. The conference is structured with a morning session and afternoon session each day to accommodate different time zones. Each session includes plenary talks, panel discussions (including flash talks by leading researchers), and breakout sessions. The conference
What is intelligence, and how can research contribute to improving current technologies with insights from this work? At the Girls' Day with the Excellence Cluster Science of Intelligence, you'll find out how scientists from various disciplines research the topic of intelligence. Through interactive exchanges, you can learn how researchers work to understand intelligence from different
