Daniel M. Wolpert (Columbia University), “Contextual Inference Underlies the Learning of Sensorimotor Repertoires”
Abstract: Humans spend a lifetime learning, storing and refining a repertoire of motor memories. However, it is unknown what principle underlies the way our continuous stream of sensorimotor experience is
Jan De Houwer (Ghent University), “Learning in Individual Organisms, Genes, Machines, and Groups: A New Way of Defining and Relating Learning in Different Systems”
MAR 2.057Abstract: Learning is a central concept in many scientific disciplines. Communication about research on learning is, however, hampered by the fact that different researchers define learning in different ways. In
Peter Neri (Laboratoire Des Systèmes Perceptifs, CNRS, Paris), “The Unreasonable Recalcitrance of Human Vision to Theoretical Domestication”
Abstract: We can view cortex from two fundamentally different perspectives: a powerful device for performing optimal inference, or an assembly of biological components not built for achieving statistical optimality. The
Ingmar Posner (University of Oxford), “Learning to Perceive and to Act – Disentangling Tales from (Structured) Latent Space”
Abstract: Unsupervised learning is experiencing a renaissance. Driven by an abundance of unlabelled data and the advent of deep generative models, machines are now able to synthesise complex images, videos
POSTPONED: Richard McElreath, “The Cultural and Ecological Nature of Intelligence”
Abstract: How do we reconcile the extraordinary success of the human species with the apparent stupidity of people and organizations? How can we understand the transformation of humans from foraging

Onur Güntürkün is regarded as a pioneer of biologically based psychology. The aim of his work is to find out how perception, thought and action arise in the brain. He
Michael Beetz (Universität Bremen), “Empowering Robots with Digital Mental Models: Filling the Cognitive Gap for Everyday Tasks”
In this talk I introduce Digital Mental Models (DMMs) as a novel cognitive capability of AI-powered and cognition-enabled robots. By combining digital twin technology with symbolic knowledge representation and embodying
Serge Belongie (University of Copenhagen), “Searching for Structure in Unfalsifiable Claims”
Abstract: While advances in automated fact-checking are critical in the fight against the spread of misinformation in social media, we argue that more attention is needed in the domain of
Asifa Majid (University of Oxford), “Establishing Human Universals”
Abstract: Psychology, the "science of mental life", aims to provide models and theories that apply universally. However, there is a growing concern that what we gather from studying humans in
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
