This summer semester 2020, all teaching and research meetings will be done in remote form using video conferencing, online teaching material, and email exchange. We ask students to find information about the online teaching arrangements for each course on the course’s homepage.
If you need to talk to a researcher or professor at the INI, please find his or her email address under “people” and we will set up a video meeting with you.
As the situation develops, we will update these arrangements, so please check back regularly on this homepage of the INI and the homepage of each course you take.
An algorithm developed by neuroinformatics engineers in Bochum estimates age and ethnic origin as exactly as humans do. The researchers are not yet sure which features it interprets. - Go to the RUB press release. (Image: RUB, Marquard)
The Institut für Neuroinformatik (INI) is a central research unit of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. We aim to understand the fundamental principles through which organisms generate behavior and cognition while linked to their environments through sensory systems and while acting in those environments through effector systems. Inspired by our insights into such natural cognitive systems, we seek new solutions to problems of information processing in artificial cognitive systems. We draw from a variety of disciplines that include experimental approaches from psychology and neurophysiology as well as theoretical approaches from physics, mathematics, electrical engineering and applied computer science, in particular machine learning, artificial intelligence, and computer vision.
