Hot Topics in Intelligence Research

Foraging complexity and competitive social challenges are considered key drivers of human cognition. Yet, we still have a poor understanding of the decision-making mechanisms underlying foraging behavior, especially in social

From the daily movement of primate troops to the mesmerizing murmurations of starling flocks in the sky, the dynamics of animal groups on the move fascinate us with the mystery

Embodiment is critical for intelligence; however, the traditional concept of embodiment as movement in 3-dimensional space covers only a small slice of the way biology exploits embodiment. In this talk,

Abstract Understanding the computational principles of embodied intelligence is central to advancing robotic systems that perceive and act in complex environments. This talk explores key principles—low power consumption, robustness, and

In this talk Jens Krause will discuss the adaptive value of collective behaviour from different perspectives. One perspective is the potential ability of groups or collectives to make better and

Martina Poletti's talk will focus on active foveal vision. Vision is an active process even at its finest scale in the 1-deg foveola, the visual system is primarily sensitive to

Artificial intelligence and robotics have been making great progress in recent years but how close are we to emulating human intelligence?  This talk will explore the similarities and differences between

Andrew King is a scientist driven by curiosity, exploring questions across species, contexts, and methods. His research group investigates how and why individuals engage in collective behaviour, using a wide

Jennifer Groh (Duke University) Hearing works in concert with vision, such as when we watch someone’s lips move to help us understand what they are saying.  But bridging between these two
