The human cognitive system learns quickly, generalizes easily and robustly to new situations, enabling rapid decision-making even in critical situations. These amazing capabilities are driven by life-long learning on dynamic and multi-modal information coming from the different sensory inputs.
How is the brain able to learn and process such dynamic, multi-modal data given the massive amounts of input streaming from its sensors? Can we teach artificial cognitive systems similar capabilities? Once we do, how we align artificial intelligence systems better to humans from perceptual and cognitive as well as emotional aspects all the way to moral reasoning and decision-making?
In our lab, we enhance the understanding of the algorithms employed by the human cognitive system through the use of cutting-edge methods from machine learning (AI) and mixed reality coupled with neuroimaging and psychophysics experiments.
Our second research focus is on transferring this knowledge to implementations of intelligent, human-aligned artificial cognitive systems with applications in neuroscience, robotics, computer vision, as well as practical areas including clinical and commercial applications.
The Cognitive Systems Lab currently conducts research in four main areas - click to follow to a dedicated page: Social face processing (neuroimaging of face and facial expression processing, exploration of conversational facial expressions) Multisensory and multimodal object processing (combining vision and touch for object processing, shape representations in the brain, multisensory skills in robotics, mixed reality studies using vision and touch) Decision making (combining virtual/mixed reality and EEG experiments to investigate decision-making in challenging scenarios) Human-centered AI (evaluation, validation, and improvement of algorithms from computer graphics, computer vision, and visualization in human-centered applications, alignment)
