Join us for an interdisciplinary hybrid workshop in the beautiful city of Lisbon and via Zoom to discuss key questions on self-consciousness and social interactions in humans and artificial agents!

The First Workshop of the interdisciplinary project ‘The Interacting Self: from Self-Consciousness to Social Interactions in Humans and Artificial Agents’ will take place on June 17th 2022 in Lisbon!

The workshop brings together world-leading scholars and junior researchers from philosophy, neuroscience, psychology, robotics and computational neuroscience, to address the following (non-exhaustive) key questions:

• What are the basic or minimal “ingredients” of a human and artificial self?
• What are its conceptual, behavioral, neural and computational components and how these components sustain the foundation of a human and artificial self?
• What are the fundamental (dis)similarities between human and artificial selves and bodies?

The Interself Project is funded by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT PTDC/FER-FIL/4802/2020) to Dr. Anna Ciaunica.
