Thursday Morning Lectures Abstract: Implementation of neural control in the application of advanced robotic systems promises restoration of autonomy and quality of life in severe paralysis. Moreover, neurotechnologies that are capable of analyzing, interpreting and modulating brain activity in real-time promise to advance our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of human brain functions. But what

Thursday Morning Lectures Abstract: In educational psychology, the benefits and limitations of adaptive learning processes are currently under debate. In computer science, Intelligent Tutor Systems (ITS) exist that are adaptive to learners' level of skills and knowledge, but it is an open research question how novel user modelling approaches and feedback strategies in ITS incorporating

Prof. Bruno Lara (Cognitive Robotics, UAEM, Mexico) and Dr. Alejandra Ciria (Cognitive Psychology, UNAM, Mexico) will give a presentation on their research on internal models and predictive coding from a Robotics and Cognitive Science perspective. They are currently visiting researchers at the Adaptive Systems Group at HU Berlin with an Alexander-von-Humboldt Fellowship. Abstract: A cognitive

Symposium and Interviews for prospective (post)doctoral researchers.

SCIoI faculty member Miriam Kyselo and philosopher Joerg Fingerhut (Einstein Group „Consciousness, Emotions, Values“) take part in a discussion chaired by Andreas Sentker (the ZEIT-Wissen chief editor) about the role of the brain and the body, but also of cultural artifacts, in the creation of the world. The talk (in German) is part of the
