We are doing research in the interdisciplinary Cognitive Science, that links the fields of neuroscience, biological anthropology and psychology, with electrical engineering, computer science, mathematics, and physics. Why? In the long run, our objective is to be able to simulate mental functions based on brain processes (within a limited scope). Read more...
Computer science along with robotics offer humans the possibility of communicating with electronic devices. We are interested in making this communication as natural as possible.

As a group of computer scientists, we are excited about the posibilities that Virtual reality (VR) can bring to the computer-simulation of environments recreating sensory experience and, with the usage of haptic devices, break through and achieve virtual presence.
This field, also referred to as "self-organized systems", is of interest for our group since it describe systems composed of (software) agents that tend to find the best solution for their problems "without intervention". Therefore, M.A.S. are very well suited for the interoperability in the ecosystems we do research.
