A new 天美影视传媒 study suggests that AI could learn cultural values by observing human behavior, similar to how children learn by watching and interacting with adults. Researchers had AI systems observe two cultural groups playing a video game. The AI systems were able to learn each group鈥檚 degree of altruism and apply this to a new situation.
A new 天美影视传媒 study finds that an identification with all humanity, as opposed to identification with a geographic area like a country or town, predicts whether someone will engage in 鈥減rosocial鈥� behaviors particular to the pandemic, such as donating extra masks or coming to the aid of a sick person.
A new international study led by the 天美影视传媒 aims to gauge the perception of ethical situations as the COVID-19 pandemic evolves around the world.
Using a mathematical framework with roots in artificial intelligence and robotics, UW researchers were able to uncover the process of how a person makes choices in groups. And, they also found they were able to predict a person鈥檚 choice more often than more traditional descriptive methods.
UW researchers created a method for two people help a third person solve a task using only their minds.
Recent notable books by UW faculty members study politics and culture in post-World War II Japan, explore regime change, nonprofit management, documents from the ancient world and more.
The Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering is updating its name to the Center for Neurotechnology (CNT) to highlight the key role that neurotechnologies play in its mission.
UW researchers have published the first demonstration of humans playing a simple, two-dimensional computer game using only input from direct brain stimulation 鈥� without relying on any usual sensory cues from sight, hearing or touch.
For the first time in humans, UW Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering (CSNE) researchers have used direct stimulation of the human brain surface to provide basic sensory feedback through artificial electrical signals, enabling patients to control movement while opening and closing their hand.
The UW’s Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering has won a $16M NSF grant to develop the first implantable device to reanimate paralyzed limbs and restore motor function in stroke or spinal cord injury patients.
A collaboration between 天美影视传媒 developmental psychologists and computer scientists has demonstrated that robots can “learn” much like babies – by experiencing the world and eventually imitating humans.
天美影视传媒 researchers have successfully replicated a direct brain-to-brain connection between pairs of people as part of a scientific study following the team’s initial demonstration a year ago.
天美影视传媒 computer scientists have shown that crowdsourcing can be a quick and effective way to teach a robot how to complete tasks.
天美影视传媒 researchers have performed what they believe is the first noninvasive human-to-human brain interface, with one researcher able to send a brain signal via the Internet to control the hand motions of a fellow researcher.
天美影视传媒 researchers have demonstrated that when humans use brain-computer interfaces, the brain behaves much like it does when completing simple motor skills such as kicking a ball or waving. Learning to control a robotic arm or a prosthetic limb could become second nature for people who are paralyzed.
