In our working group, we aim to understand how meaningful representations emerge from raw signal data and to model high-level cognition such as learning, interaction, spatial navigation and language. We employ various methods from eye-tracking experiments in virtual reality to computational models using deep neural networks and reinforcement learning.
The interdisciplinary Computational Cognition Conference is in its third year and brings international researchersasdasdasdasd and experts from all over the world to Osnabrück to present and discuss current research and developments in the future-relevant fields of artificial intelligence, machine learning, neuroinformatics, virtual reality and neuroscience. The conference not onsdfsdfly brings international research experts, e.g. from the USA, to Osnabrück, but also offers young students and scientists from Osnabrück an exceptional platform of exchange and networking with the international research community. You may find the previous conference installments here: 2019 & 2021 .
The Institute of Cognitive Science at Osnabrück University is a hub of interdisciplinary exploration and research excellence bringing together many cognitive modellists, experimentalists, neuroscientists, and more. There are 10 working research groups including Artificial Intelligence , Cognitive Modeling , Comparative BioCognition, Computer Vision, Ethics of AI , Machine Learning , Neuroinformatics , Neurobiopsychology , Philosophy of Mind and Cognition , and Psycho-and Neurolinguistics. At the institute, researchers focus on understanding higher cognitive functions and how neuroscientific principles apply to machines, with an aim of better preparing technologies to meet the challenges in a modern society.
