Now, as a Professor of Human-Centered Data Science at the University of Göttingen, Lisa works at the intersection of NLP and cognitive science. Her time at UKP Lab was an important step in her academic journey, and we're excited to share her story with you.

Stay tuned for more insights from Lisa about her projects, goals, and fond memories from her time at UKP Lab.

What a fun fascinating #Smithsonian article on how and why #literature moves us.

From #Aristotle to now, 8 literary devices/tools explained from a #neuroscience perspective

I'd be interested in hearing what my #author friends (and everyone else) think of it :-)

Discover how your brain constantly rewires itself! This comprehensive article explores neuroplasticity—the brain's remarkable ability to form new neural connections throughout life. Learn how experiences physically reshape your brain, how neuroplasticity aids recovery from injury, and practical ways to enhance your brain's adaptability based on cutting-edge research. #Neuroscience #BrainHealth #Neuroplasticity #CognitiveScience #BrainTraining #MentalHealth #LifelongLearning #ScienceNews #BrainResearch #NeuralConnections

First was a slate of talks at the Brown University Mind Brain Research Day. I particularly liked the talk by Amanda Arulpragasam on non-invasive deep brain stimulation with ultrasound https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4YNBCHSVDk (2/11) #neuroscience #CognitiveScience

First was an excellent talk by Penny Lewis on sleep engineering for health and cognition at the Psychonomic Society https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1OIpSQLVf4 (2/7) #psychology #CognitiveScience

Happy birthday to Cognitive Design for Artificial Minds (https://lnkd.in/gZtzwDn3) that was released 4 years ago!

Since then its ideas have been presented and discussed widely in the research fields of AI/Cognitive Science/Robotics and - nowadays - both the possibilities and the limitations of: #LLMs, #GenerativeAI and #ReinforcementLearning (already envisioned and discussed in the book) have become a common topic of research interests in the AI community and beyond.
Similarly also the topic concerning the evaluation - in human-like and human-level terms - of the current AI systems has become a critical theme related to the problem Anthropomorphic interpretation of AI output (see e.g. https://lnkd.in/dVi9Qf_k ).
Book reviews have been published on ACM Computing Reviews (2021) https://lnkd.in/dWQpJdkV and on Argumenta (2023): https://lnkd.in/derH3VKN

I have been invited to present the content of the book in over 20 official scientific events in international conferences, Ph.D Schools in US, China, Japan, Finland, Germany, Sweden, France, Brazil, Poland, Austria and, of course, Italy.

A news I am happy to share is that Routledge/Taylor & Francis contacted me few weeks ago for a second edition! Stay tuned!

The #book is available in many webstores:
- Routledge: https://lnkd.in/dPrC26p
- Taylor & Francis: https://lnkd.in/dprVF2w
- Amazon: https://lnkd.in/dC8rEzPi

Next was an amazing talk by Mel Goodale on differences in size constancy for perception and action at the Psychonomic Society. Through compelling experiments, Goodale demonstrates how different neural processing is for perception vs. action, with implications for a whole variety of fields. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mc5tTE_EsSg (3/8) #neuroscience #CognitiveScience

Next was an excellent talk by @behrenstimb on a cellular basis for mapping behavioral structure at the Kempner Institute at Harvard University https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGwyHXigSQc (4/10) #neuroscience #CognitiveScience

If:
- Calculators delegated our capacity for arithmetic to machines
- The camera delegated our capacity for visual memory to machines
- The tape recorder delegated our capacity for auditory memory ..
- Google and wikipedia delegated our capacity to remember facts ..

Then what are LLMs doing?

And if each of those delegations made space for other types of mental load, what are we making space for this time?

(This is a thought experiment, I have no evidence that any of the above actually happened).
