Eye blinks serve the purpose of maintaining healthy vision but during a blink visual information processing is interrupted. While a multitude of medical, cognitive, and psychological factors have been shown to influence blinking, the present study establishes quantitatively how human blinking behavior is dynamically adapted to environmental task demands.

Masashi Sugiyama (RIKEN / University of Tokyo, Japan) is visiting TU Darmstadt

Masashi Sugiyama, Director of the RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project (AIP) started official cooperatiion with TU Darmstadt / Centre for Cognitve Science in 2017. On April 6th he will give a lecture on “Machine Learning from Weak Supervision – Towards Accurate Classification with Low Labeling Costs”

The TU Darmstadt will offer both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Cognitive Science. Although we aim to complete these programs within 2018 to welcome first students of Cognitive Science in 2019, a first set of Q&A can already be provided.

14th Biannual Conference of the German Cognitive Science Society

KogWis 2018 invites submissions of extended abstracts on current work on cognitive science. Generally all topics related to cognitive science are welcome. Contributions that address the focus of this meeting, that is, computational cognitive science are particularly encouraged. Submissions will be sorted by topic and paradigms and will be independently reviewed. Notifications of acceptance will depend on the novelty of the research, the significance of the results, and the presentation of the work.
