@mi3lab
Social cognition lab promoting better interactions between brains/minds/machines | Cognitive science: AI, behavioural science, theory of mind, philosophy | PIs: @opheliaderoy.bsky.social, Bahador Bahrami | LMU Munich | 👉 mi3.info/
We'd like to welcome another addition to Mi3’s labs! Doctoral researcher Mert Yorulmaz's current research area is philosophy of mind. He is visiting Mi3 as a guest researcher, focusing on the effects of social interactions on our phenomenal experiences. Great to have you with us, Mert!
We’d like to welcome our latest addition to Mi3’s labs! Postdoctoral researcher Aial Sobeh focuses on the neurocognitive mechanisms of collective decision-making and social alignment. He joins Mi3 to collaborate on research on collective intelligence, and human–AI systems. Great to have you with us!
Why do smart people sometimes make dumb choices in groups? That’s the question we asked researchers at our social cognition labs Mi3 (we're part of the @lmu.de). Mi3's @justinsulik.bsky.social tackles the subject in the latest episode on YouTube here: youtu.be/Eb_jzuAhprU
Summer school: Reasoning and agency in AI, 15-19 June, Venice. This week-long programme co-organised by Mi3 brings together leading philosophers and the next generation of researchers. On the programme: discussions of agency on AI and the philosophy of agency, and political implications.
Is sharing the key to consciousness? That’s the question we asked researchers at our social cognition labs Mi3 (we're part of the @lmu.de) for our video series 'Interactive Minds' - full episode on YouTube here: youtu.be/NwpH3VBBdWI #philosophy #consciousness
What can make science more accepted in society? While trust in scientists worldwide is at a relatively high level, researchers should be more open to public dialogue, found a study. So we asked researchers at our social cognition labs Mi3 what more can be done. Full video: youtu.be/cDk3wdpJYyk
Do crowds see the world more clearly than individuals — or just more confidently? That’s the question we asked researchers at our social cognition labs Mi3 (we're part of the @lmu.de) for our video series 'Interactive Minds' - full episode on YouTube here: youtu.be/LXDq23cnjCY #SocialCognition
If you’ve ever clicked “I agree” on data privacy forms without reading them, you’re not alone. Students tend to do the same thing over data collected about their learning. What happens when they talk about it? A study co-authored by Mi3’s @louislongin.bsky.social explores this: tinyurl.com/ywc7rejd
Imagine your study app knows when you’re struggling - this kind of data-driven tool promises more personalised education. The catch: it relies on collecting student data. How do students feel about that? A new study co-authored by Mi3’s @louislongin.bsky.social explores this: tinyurl.com/mwrfenm8
Can we understand how AI thinks? That’s the question we asked researchers at our social cognition labs Mi3 (we're part of the @lmu.de) for our video series 'Interactive Minds' - full episode on YouTube here: youtu.be/2_MJkAS7imQ #AI #SocialCognition
When should we trust AI agents? That’s the question we asked researchers at our social cognition labs Mi3 (we're part of the @lmu.de ) for our video series 'Interactive Minds' - full episode on our YouTube channel here: youtu.be/KBqMVNIZw04 #AI #AIAgents #SocialCognition
Our brains do not just care about what we see, but also whether others are also seeing it. A new study led by Mi3's Mustafa Yavuz reveals that even when no one is interacting with you, your brain shifts into a more alert state the moment something you see becomes shareable: tinyurl.com/mwxp7tb4
Do we each live in our own reality? That’s the question we asked researchers at our social cognition labs Mi3 (we're part of the @lmu.de) for our video series 'Interactive Minds' - full episode on our YouTube channel here: youtu.be/mMWTRsG0tz0 #philosophy #perception
Can talking sharpen your sense of smell? Mi3 researcher Mustafa Yavuz asks a simple but surprisingly unexplored question: can two people actually get better at smelling things by discussing them? Video on YouTube: youtube.com/shorts/0vEOw... (Mi3 is part of the @lmu.de) #perception #cognition
Why do we struggle to describe our own experiences to others?That’s the question we asked researchers at our social cognition labs Mi3 (we're part of the @lmu.de) for our video series 'Interactive Minds' - full episode on our YouTube channel here: youtu.be/3fs789uznHU #PhilosophyOfMind #SciComm
Can we understand what infants think? That’s the question we asked researchers at our social cognition labs Mi3 (we're part of the @lmu.de) for our video series 'Interactive Minds' - full episode on our YouTube channel here: youtu.be/EDX-2x2f44Y #PhilosophyOfMind #behaviour #SciComm
Do face-to-face interactions matter? That’s the question we asked researchers at our social cognition labs Mi3 (we're part of the @lmu.de ) for our new video series 'Interactive Minds' - full episode on our YouTube channel here: youtu.be/3gOrwzVHYdQ #philosophy #behaviour #SciComm
Why do we make group decisions? That’s the question we asked researchers at our social cognition labs Mi3 (we're part of the @lmu.de) for our new video series 'Interactive Minds' - full episode on our YouTube channel here: youtu.be/TaK9SxUvIJM #DecisionMaking #behaviour #SciComm
Do people trust science less today? And if so, why? That’s the question we asked researchers including @justinsulik.bsky.social at our social cognition labs Mi3 (we're part of the @lmu.de) for our video series 'Interactive Minds' - episode on YouTube: youtu.be/1qD1bnzxbVI #behaviour #SciComm
Would you interact with AI as you would with a human? That’s the question we asked researchers at our social cognition labs Mi3 (we're part of the @lmu.de) for our new video series 'Interactive Minds' - full episode on our YouTube channel here: youtu.be/oyGruwRt6M4 #AI #philosophy #behaviour
Here's the latest from "Overhead in the Lab" - offering a glimpse into what it's like here at Mi3’s social cognition labs! 🧠 Anything that has caught your ear at your labs? 👂💬 Mi3 is part of the @lmumuenchen.bsky.social, and our researchers focus on areas including social cognition and philosophy.
We’d like to welcome our latest addition to Mi3’s labs! Postdoctoral researcher David Zapero's current project explores the role that commonsense notions can play in philosophical reflection about perception. Great to have you with us, David! #philosophy #perception #cognition
