Speakers

Agnieszka Wykowska

I lead the Social Cognition in Human-Robot Interaction group at the Italian Institute of Technology.

My research bridges psychology, cognitive neuroscience, robotics and healthcare. I combine Cognitive Neuroscience methods with Human-Robot Interaction to understand the human brain mechanisms in interaction with natural (other humans) and artificial (robotics, assistive technologies). agents.

Pablo Lanillos

I lead the Neuro Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (NAIR) research group at CSIC (Madrid).

My research bridges neuroscience and technology to advance both artificial intelligence and our understanding of brain function. We investigate how humans perceive and act with their bodies to improve robotic systems and reveal the internal information processing mechanisms of the brain. We aim to achieve embodied intelligence in robots comparable to humans.

Simone Schütz-Bosbach

I am a Professor of Experimental Neuro-Cognitive Psychology at Ludwig-Maximilians Universität (LMU) München.

My research focuses on human sensation, perception and action by using a wide range of methodologies, including psychophysics and behavioural testing, fMRI, EEG and TMS. In particular, I am interested in the neurocognitive aspects of action and conscious intention, and the brain processes that allow the motor system to link actions to events that occur in the environment. I also study the role of body representation as a constituent element of self-identity.

Cristina Piazza

I am a tenure track assistant professor for Heathcare and Rehabilitation Robotics at the Technische Universität München (TUM).

My research focuses on the areas of rehabilitation and assistive robotics. My main research interests include the study of human movement, the design of artificial devices based on soft robotics technologies, and the development of innovative control algorithms to address different levels of amputation and their assessment for robotic and prosthetic applications.

Kai Vogeley

I am a Professor at the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the University Hospital of Cologne.

My research interest lies in the pathophysiological elucidation of psychiatric disorders by means of psychological, structural and functional brain imaging techniques. I am interested in social cognition, including differentiating between oneself and others, i.e. the ability to distinguish between one's own mental phenomena and those of other people, both in health and in psychiatrically relevant disease situations

Tony Prescott

I am a Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Sheffield, Director of Sheffield Robotics, Director of the Active Touch Laboratory, Co-Director of the Adaptive Behaviour Research Group and a visiting Fellow at Bristol Robotics Laboratory.

My research is concerned with understanding brain function using methods in the computational, neural, and behavioural sciences.

Bruno Berberian

I am a senior researcher in cognitive ergonomics.

My current research investigates the cognitive mechanisms involved in the control of complex systems, and their potential degradation in aeronautical context.

As illustration, my research deals with human automation interaction failure, spatial disorientation, the impact of stress and cognitive fatigue on cognitive flexibility. I aim to use tools and concepts from cognitive sciences to characterize and mitigate these different phenomenon.

Mateusz Wozniak

I am a Post Doctoral researcher at the Social Cognition in Human-Robot Interaction Lab at Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Genova, Italy.

My research interest is on social, psychological and neural mechanisms of self and identity. I focus on investigating how operating a robot can influence our self-representation.
