Hot Topics in Intelligence Research Ralf Kurvers (MPI for Human Development), “Individual, Social and Ecological Drivers of Human Collective Foraging”
SCIoI, Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057Foraging 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 contexts. In this talk, I will combine immersive lab experiments, field work using high-resolution tracking, and computational and agent-based models to uncover the mechanisms guiding

Thursday Morning Talk Adrien Doerig (Freie Universität), “High-Level Visual Representations in the Human Brain Are Aligned With Large Language Models”
SCIoI, Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057The human brain extracts complex information from visual inputs, including objects, their spatial and semantic interrelations, and their interactions with the environment. However, a quantitative approach to capture this information remains elusive. I will present work where we show that LLM embeddings of scene captions successfully characterise brain activity evoked by viewing the natural scenes.

Hot Topics in Intelligence Research Marina Papadopoulou (Tuscia University), “Across the Swarm-Verse: The Self-Organization of Animal Collectives on the Move”
SCIoI, Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057From 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 of their underlying social interactions. In this talk, I will first showcase how we combine empirical data and computational models based on self-organization to understand

Hot Topics in Intelligence Research Michael Levin (Tufts University), “Communication With Intelligence in Unconventional Embodiments: Bioelectricity as a Case Study”
SCIoI, Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057Embodiment 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, I will present a framework for understanding intelligence more broadly, and show how the multiscale competency of bodies navigates many different kinds of spaces. I

Distinguished Speaker Series J. Kevin O’Regan (CNRS Paris), “How To Make a Machine That Is Conscious and Really Feels”
SCIoI, Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057Despite current advances in artificial intelligence, many people remain convinced that machines are still far from being able to really experience, for example, the redness of a sunset, the pain of a pinprick, or what it's like to be sad. This "phenomenal" or "felt" aspect of consciousness seems outside the realm of science and impossible

Thursday Morning Talk Anne Jaap, Friedrich Schüßler, and Paul Mieske (Science of Intelligence): “Big mouse data: Characterizing mouse behavior through temporal statistics”
SCIoI, Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057The study of animal behavior is rapidly changing due to recent advances in long-term recording and automated analysis. Here we use these new developments to characterize mouse behavior via their temporal statistics. We analyzed positional data (RFID detections) of groups of mice housed in complex environments over many months. We found that behavior spanning seconds
