Decision making: emotions, formal logic, and games -
- Dozent/in:
- Alexander Pastukhov
- Angaben:
- Seminar
- Termine:
- Mo, 12:00 - 14:00, MG2/01.11
- Inhalt:
- An English-language seminar course on neural mechanisms that underpin decision making at all levels. The course covers broad range of topics that introduce the emotional and analytical decision making systems and their interaction in your daily experience. We start with the low level perceptual decision making (signal detection theory, sequential analysis framework, race models) and gambling (making a decision about a lucky number based on prior history). Then, we will discuss the influence of emotions (e.g., how marketing sways your purchasing decisions), game theory (how do you make the decision, if you know that I can try to predict it?), free will (how can you be sure that you made the decision?), and moral judgements in humans and animals.
The course is taught in English, which will allow you build vocabulary on the topic.

Juli 2018, und Samstag, 21. Juli 2018. Zwei dieser Termine finden in Bamberg statt, zwei in Nürnberg.
- Inhalt:
- Gameification ist der Einsatz von Spielmechanismen in Nicht-Spielkontexten. Wiederkehrende Aufgaben in Arbeit und Alltag sollen so motivierender gestaltet werden. In diesem Seminar werden wir zusammen mit den Wirtschaftsinformatikern der TH Nürnberg solche Spielprinzipien
- finden und analysieren. Das geschieht im Deutschen Spielearchiv in Nürnberg. Dort haben wir Zugriff auf mehrere zehntausend Spiele. Wir überlegen uns nach einer Literaturrecherche, welche Prinzipien passend sein können; wählen geeignete Brettspiele aus; und analysieren diese (indem wir sie spielen und dabei strukturiert Informationen sammeln. Die Ergebnisse arbeiten wir in Form von Postern auf.
- Diese Poster präsentieren wir einem Unternehmen (Branche Dienstleistung/ Tourismus). Wir diskutieren, ob und wie Spielelemente in diesem Anwendungskontext sinnvoll sein können und erarbeiten prototypische Skizzen, die wir in den Gruppe kurz ausprobieren.
In diesem Seminar soll Gamefication sowohl aus der Perspektive der Informatik als auch der Psychologie gemeinsam erarbeitet und angewandt werden.

Heureka! Creativity and the curious mind [Heureka] -
- Dozent/in:
- Claudia Muth
- Angaben:
- Seminar, 2 SWS, Seminar auf Englisch
- Termine:
- Di, 12:00 - 14:00, MG2/01.11
- Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches:
- This seminar is held in English language.
- Inhalt:
- The first insight that the earth turns around the sun and not vice versa, the discovery of hidden figures in an image, the experience of a marvelous line in a poem that opens up a whole new world or that thrilling moment within a piece of music that induces shivers down the spine: How is it that we gain pleasure by such surprising events considering that humans seek the opposite – namely stability and familiarity? Don't we prefer objects and situations that we can handle and understand easily because they affirm what we already know?
In this seminar, we will explore the theoretical basis for human curiosity and creativity by drawing on literature from various fields like psychology, philosophy, cognitive science and neuroscience. We will link this literature to experiences and exercises and discuss topics like:
1) From creative robots and rigid humans: What makes a creative agent and is there something like creativity at all?
2) Creativity and cognition: psychological and neurological findings on divergent thinking and insight
3) Aesthetics in art and design: Why we seek familiar designs but can be thrilled by innovation
4) Enjoying Goosebumps when listening to music: a pleasurable interplay between anticipation and surprise
5) In the mood for novelty and innovation: Promotion vs. Prevention-modes
6) The curious mind and the “Dark-Room-Problem”: Do humans really seek stability and what would it be like to be isolated from any novel stimulation?

Neuroscience of Consciousness -
- Dozent/in:
- Alexander Pastukhov
- Angaben:
- Seminar
- Termine:
- Mo, 10:00 - 12:00, MG2/01.11
- Inhalt:
- An English-language seminar course that presents our current understanding of consciousness. What is consciousness and how can we define it? We will try to answer this by looking question that philosophers raised (What is like to be a bat? Are you a philosophical zombie? Who is inside the Chinese room? What is a thought about a thought called?) We will look for missing consciousness in clinical cases (Can you see without primary visual cortex? When your arm is not your arm anymore? How many personalities can you squeeze into two hemispheres?), unconscious processing (Why cannot you see the flicker, if your V1 can? Can you pay attention to an invisible target?), free will (How do you know you did it? Why do you feel responsible, if you favorite team wins or loses?), false memory (Are you sure this happened to you at all?), and consciousness in animals (Again, what is it like to be a bat? Can animals read others’ minds?)
The course is taught in English, which will allow you build vocabulary on the topic.
