Social cognition lab for better interactions between brains/minds/machines | No longer active here on X - follow us instead on Bluesky mi3lab.bsky.social
We're now Munich Interactive Intelligence Initiative researching interactivity in brains/minds mi3.info/
We began in 2017 as CVBE Lab to study sensory human interactions; 4 yrs ago we teamed up with @CrowdCognition focusing on cog-neuro-bio of interactive decisions
In our everyday lives, we often feel a sense of control—or lack thereof—over the decisions we make. But what shapes this feeling? That’s what Mi3 doctoral researcher Mustafa Yavuz and collaborators wanted to explore in a study just published in #Cognitiontinyurl.com/25nn8uty
What can eye-tracking reveal about your mind? Our #CognitiveScience lab's studies are beginning to uncover the hidden logic of your gaze. Using a modern #DataScience technique called Dynamic Time Warping, we visualise these unique variations. Full video: tinyurl.com/5ytsp8kp

In the video below, EMERGE partner Jurgis Karpus talks about differing perspectives on what awareness entails, and on developing a shared framework to explore these ideas and operationalize awareness in artificial systems.
Mi3 hosted an interdisciplinary workshop exploring innovative ways to counteract #HateSpeech - this initiative highlights Mi3's commitment to bridging academic and civil society efforts to address pressing social challenges. Here's our video round-up: mi3.info/blog-post/exploring…
Charting the future of #CognitiveScience - Mi3’s Professor @OpheliaDeroy on embracing the field’s interdisciplinary nature: “Cognitive science thrives not by forcing unity but by embracing this pluralism.” tinyurl.com/bp83n9yc
How touch-based tech could be a game-changer for digital learning - in a new study, Mi3’s Wenhan Sun and collaborators including @ConTaktLab@6gLife found touch, often overlooked in tech, may be the secret to faster responses without sacrificing accuracy tinyurl.com/5epjjvy5
To kick off 2025, we’re launching our Overhead in the Lab series - to offer a little glimpse into life here at Mi3’s labs! The quotes may be funny, surprising, quirky - in any case, they’re an insight into everyday chat among our researchers and staff 👀💬

Do we need AI to have general intelligence or consciousness? Mi3 researchers, with collaborators, say we don’t. Instead, they call for specialised AI systems, which they say are more energy-efficient and ethically-manageable than general-purpose AI. Paper: tinyurl.com/2f3e7w3b
Are we going to interact with AI like in Star Wars? 🤖 Mi3 doctoral researcher @RGSocialC explores the question of how human-like #AI
design plays a big role in how we interact with it 👉 tinyurl.com/2wpamtk2
Mi3's doctoral researcher @nadinemeertens said: "I had a great time discussing new developments in ethics across all the projects. It was a pleasure to reconnect with everyone—and meet some new faces along the way!" #AI#AIEthics
This week, EMERGE partner @nadinemeertens joined the 2nd @EUeic Portfolio Workshop 'Inside the Ethics of AI Awareness' in Uppsala, Sweden, to discuss the challenges in policy, testing, and research in designing aware artificial multi-agent systems.
Check out the new video! EMERGE’s collaborative awareness will allow robotic systems to adapt to the unstructured conditions found in the real world, decreasing deployment and maintenance costs.

Developing #AI systems for specific tasks can be more effective, and ethical, than artificial general intelligence, and may help calm fears of machines gaining human-like consciousness - this is what Mi3’s @OpheliaDeroy and others from @EIC_EMERGE argue cordis.europa.eu/article/id/…
