Munich Interactive Intelligence Initiative (Mi3) | LMU Munich

The Munich Interactive Intelligence Initiative (Mi3) unites diverse research groups and expertise to delve into how interactivity operates in our brains and minds. By unravelling the neural, computational and cognitive processes occurring during social interactions, our multidisciplinary approach offers new insights into questions shared by philosophers and social scientists, and relevant to policy-making and design. Our three research areas focus on: Interactive perception Does perception work similarly when we perceive things alone or together? What role do shared experiences play in our epistemic lives, and is it something that only humans do? Can we combine the benefits of direct experience and testimonial information into an augmented interaction to help with sensory deficits or improve learning? Interactive decisions How does group interaction modulate core features of decision-making? What are the benefits of small group interactions? Can deliberation extend to hybrid contexts, where we offload part of the decision to AI? Interactions science-society What happens when we need to explore unknown tracks or find new ways of formulating questions and problems? Failing and exploring are core aspects of individual learning, but how do they work for groups? Should we rethink research, education and science communication to speak to communities, rather than individuals? Through its member labs Cognition, Value and Behaviour (CVBE) and Crowd Cognition, Mi3 is connected to the Faculty of Psychology, the Faculty of Philosophy at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, as well as the Munich Centre for Neuroscience and the Munich Centre for Machine Learning.
