What is IK?

The Interdisciplinary College (Interdisziplinaeres Kolleg, IK) is an
annual one-week spring school on all brain & intelligence related
sciences. It offers a dense, state-of-the-art course program in
neurobiology, neural computation, cognitive science and artificial
intelligence. It is aimed at students, postgraduates and researchers
from academia and industry. By combining humanities, science and
technology, the IK endeavours to intensify dialogue and connectedness
across the various disciplines. The IK has a long tradition (see
website); in its current form it has been organized annually since
1999. All courses are taught in English.

The IK 2004

Each IK has a special focus theme. About 30-40 percent of the courses
are dedicated to aspects of this theme, which at IK-04 is "body and
motion". It is reflected in a number of courses that deal with the
following topics:

- mathematical modelling of complex dynamical systems
- disorders in the human motor system
- perception and action in cognitive science
- neural networks in motor control
- motion planning in robots
- navigation strategies in insects and robots
- cognitive and neuronal representation of motion patterns
- development of motor skills in infants
- analysis of motion patterns in sports
- didactical use of dance, singing, and motion in language teaching
- philosophy of embodied cognition
