Abstract: Learning - here defined as knowledge acquisition and behavioral changes caused by experiences - is a central prerequisite for the development of humans, animals, and some artificial agents. Against

Reward-based Learning and Decision Making under Risk Reinforcement learning provides a framework for making agents learn policies through feedback signals (“rewards”), which provide information about whether their actions or action

Abstract: I would like to give a personal perspective of the scientific motivation and framing of SCIoI and relate them to the research of my lab, the Robotics and Biology

Collective Information Processing - From Simple Flocking Models to Real Ecological Systems Abstract: Collective systems such animal groups or cellular ensembles represent fascinating examples of self-organization in biology. In contrast

Experimenting with Intelligence Abstract. Within just 7 years, behavioral decision research in psychology underwent a dramatic change. In 1967, Peterson and Beach (1967a) reviewed more than 160 experiments concerned with

Visual perception is shaped by the input from our physical environment and by expectations derived from our sensory experience with the visual world. But is what we see also influenced

Abstract: Oliver Brock will talk about these five things: 1) Is intelligence non-decomposable? 2) Does intelligence require multiple computational paradigms? 3) To neuroscience or not to neuroscience? 4) A principle

Abstract: Oliver Brock will continue exploring about these five things: 1) Is intelligence non-decomposable? 2) Does intelligence require multiple computational paradigms? 3) To neuroscience or not to neuroscience? 4) A

Abstract Actions affect perception directly and in multiple ways, exerting their influence (1) by modifying parts of the external world, (2) through internal processes accompanying movement preparation, and (3) through

Reasoning (or planning, rational decision making) seems a core aspect of intelligence -- but what exactly does that mean? If we observe clever behavior in an animal, can we claim
