Research Colloquium: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Episodic Memory

This research colloquium covers the range of topics in the interdisciplinary research unit FOR 2812 "Constructing scenarios of the past: A new framework in episodic memory". Presentations will focus on the cognitive and neuronal mechanisms underlying scenario contraction in episodic memory. The discussed studies employ and integrate approaches from philosophy, psychology, as well as experimental and computational neurscience.  The colloquium hosts talks by leading international experts and local researchers as well as presentations by doctoral and master students. In addition, students will read journal articles and book chapters related to the topics of the talks.

About the INI

The Institut für Neuroinformatik (INI) is a research unit of the Faculty of Computer Science at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Its scientific goal is to understand the fundamental principles through which organisms generate behavior and cognition while linked to their environments through sensory and 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 psychology and neurophysiology as well as machine learning, neural artificial intelligence, computer vision, and robotics.
