Artificial Intelligence

Our department is part of the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour.

Our aims are:

1. to understand the theoretical basis of natural intelligence
2. to create cutting-edge AI algorithms and approaches, enabling machines that think and behave more naturally
3. to develop the next generation of intelligent technology that improves the well-being of people in their environment.
