Attributing Intentions and its Consequences for Interaction
Bewilligung: 25.10.2011 Laufzeit:
Das Vorhaben wurde am 26.10.2011 von Pullach im Isartal nach Berlin umgesetzt.
In recent decades, philosopher and cognitive scientists have focused intensively on various aspects of personal opposed to shared intentions and their role in individual and/or joint actions. This workshop brings together scientists from different disciplines to discuss the pros and cons of traditional approaches and studies as well as novel models and experiments that shed new light on open questions and contribute fruitfully to the ongoing debate.

Into the Glass Mind: How Glass in Contemporary Architecture Shapes Perception, Action, and Social Behavior
Bewilligung: 20.07.2011 Laufzeit: 2 Jahre
Das Vorhaben wurde am 20.07.2011 von HE Nijmegen nach Bangor Gwynedd umgesetzt.
Glass has become a defining feature of contemporary architecture. In the shape of facades, windows, doors, canopies, winter gardens, staircases, walkways and walls, glass is found as a core structural element in public and private buildings alike. Its diverse applicability has been closely associated with one of its defining characteristics: Glass can be transparent. In consequence, the material often forms an invisible barrier. What remains to be determined, however, is how humans perceive, represent and act around such barriers. The project describes a series of experiments designed to address this empirical lacuna. As a collaborative endeavor between an anthropologist, an architect, a neuroscientist, a social psychologist, and two vision scientists, the project ultimately aims at providing crossdisciplinary insights upon which the architectural use of glass in man-made living and working environments.

Modulating mental states in social decision making
Bewilligung: 15.07.2011 Laufzeit: 2 Jahre
The central aim of the network project is to bring together two hitherto unconnected lines of theory and research: altered mental states (e. g., different arousal states, sleep deprivation) and group decision making. While group decision making research typically does not address the mental states of the group members, research on altered mental states typically focuses on individual effects on cognition and emotion, ignoring social effects. That is why the experimental design of the project tries to separate individual-specific and group-specific influences on group performance. The experiments investigate effects of arousal as well as effects of sleep deprivation and nap on group decisions. Mathematical group modelling and an ethical part complement the project.

Social Interaction: the Interplay of Pre-reflective and Reflective Processes
Bewilligung: 28.06.2011 Laufzeit: 2 Jahre
The overall aim of the project is to transcend the dichotomy between Theory of Mind and Interaction Theory accounts of social interaction in order to arrive at an integrated framework of social behaviour that can be tested empirically. The project is based on the assumption that Theory of Mind and Interaction Theory accounts are complementary rather than mutually exclusive as their relationship is often portrayed in the literature. After developing a theoretical framework, two theoretical aspects will be tested experimentally: (1) Reflective vs. pre-reflective processes in social interaction and (2) cooperative vs. competitive forms of social interaction. Pilot studies will be conducted with rats and with humans. The experimental design of these two pilot studies is based on a prior developed theoretical framework wich will be redesigned and improved on the basis of the outcomes of the experiments.

Comparing Apples with Oranges: A Differential View on Neuroenhancement
Bewilligung: 30.05.2011 Laufzeit: 2 Jahre
As its starting point, the project takes the observation that interventions in the mind are, in a wide sense, an everyday and commonplace phenomenon: "Every conversation changes the brain" (Eric Kandel). But the range of possible techniques to change and enhance the mind is wide and cognitive neurotechnology will pervade our society more and more, presumably in an irreversible way. Thus, the project seeks to prepare appropriate, empirically informed and theoretically fine-grained guidelines for cognitive enhancement and modulation of the brain. If some interventions in the mind are considered ethically dubious or even legally impermissible whereas others are deemed beneficial for the individual and society, distinctions among them seem to be drawn. Taken together, the project want to present a differential view on neuroenhancement from an interdisciplinary perspective.

The (Un)bound Body Project. Exploring the constraints of embodiment & the limits of body representation
Bewilligung: 31.01.2011 Laufzeit: 2 Jahre
The (Un)bound Body Project aims to investigate the relationship between the body and body representation, by drawing on methods from philosophy, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, neurophysiology and psychoacoustics. Recent discoveries of new body representations include motor and sensory maps, schematic, imagistic and structural representations of the body, representations of space surrounding the body, and a variety of neural networks specifically dedicated to body representations. In contrast to dominant contemporary strategy of differentiating categories of body representations, the project aims at introducing a new theoretical framework for studying the specificity of individual body representations and their dependency on the physical body.
