The project will provide fundamental insights into physical and conceptual spaces and develop applications in robotics and information systems.
The project brings together national and international researchers to study how humans and other animals navigate: how trajectories through space are used to build maps, the neural bases of these mapping processes and how to use maps to achieve goals.
The project will develop a new generation of robots that can learn about the physical spaces they work in, and create concept-mapping systems that can map and navigate information spaces.
Also, it will provide new insights into the mechanisms regulating human cognition and mental dysfunctions.
Student Projects Summer 2009
The Thinking Systems project has several summer student projects available for 2009. We are particularly interested in those considering further research. Click
