Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

The International Graduate College CINACS (Cross-modal Interaction in Natural and Artificial Cognitive Systems) has been carried out jointly by the Departments of Informatics, the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf and the department of Psychology of the Universität Hamburg, as well as by the Tsinghua University in Beijing, China since 2006. Within CINACS, we have investigated and taught the principles of cross-modal processes in natural cognitive systems as well as in artificial systems, in particular focusing on phenomena of dynamics, learning, memory and communication. These principles of cross-modal processing are central to making further progress on understanding and building new cross-modal intelligent systems. Furthermore, we have investigated and taught principles for designing and realizing multi-modal environments for human-computer and human-robot interaction. The research programme aims at understanding the biological mechanisms of cross-modal processing, its role in perception and behavioural control and the use of multi-modal representations in communication and problem solving. Additionally, our goal is to design models, implement algorithms and investigate architectures for robust artificial multi-modal systems which facilitate a smooth and efficient cooperation and communication between humans and artificial systems. CINACS combines the relevant methods, in particular behavioural techniques, cognitive and computational simulation, artefact construction, computer and robot experiments. This combination of approaches is possible because CINACS comprises the disciplines of neuroscience, bio-engineering, psychology, linguistics, computer science and robotics. For both the PhD students and the supervisors, the cultural exchange has constituted a valuable addition to the strategic importance of collaborating in extensive, international projects.
