SUMMARY:Glasgow Skeptics visit Cafe Scientifique: Social Robots
DESCRIPTION:Correction: The venue is Waterstones on Sauchiehall Street (not the Admiral Bar as initially stated. Apologies for any confusion). \nSo we don’t have an official Glasgow Skeptics event on this date … but our friends over in Cafe Scientifique have got something to tickle your fancy instead. \nThe topic this month: Social Robots \n\nView event on Facebook\nView event on Meetup\n\nSpeaker: Emily Cross \nUnderstanding how we perceive and interact with others is a core challenge of social cognition research. This challenge is poised to intensify in importance as the ubiquity of artificial intelligence and the presence of humanoid robots in society grows. My group’s research applies established theories and methods from psychology and neuroscience to questions concerning how people perceive\, interact\, and form relationships with robots. In this talk\, I review recent evidence from behavioural and brain imaging studies that aim to provide deeper insights into the relationship between social cognition and brain function. Examples from work comparing social perception of humans compared to robots highlights the importance of examining how perception of and interaction with artificial agents in a social world is revealing fundamental insights about human social cognition. \nEmily Cross is Professor of Social Robotics at the University of Glasgow. \nFor more information about Café Scientifique:Visit their website: http://www.gla.ac.uk/events/cafescientifique/ \nThe talk is free – although they do ask for donations\nAccessibility: The talk is on the top floor of the store. There is a lift available for those unable to use the stairs. \n
