What to expect?
The Interdisciplinary College (IK) is an annual, intense one-week spring school which offers a dense state-of-the-art course program in neurobiology, neural computation, cognitive science/psychology, artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics and philosophy. It is aimed at
students, postgraduates and researchers from academia and industry. By combining humanities, science and technology, the IK endeavours to intensify dialogue between the various disciplines.
In a swiftly evolving world, the boundaries of systems are being pushed beyond their original limits. A process increasingly accelerated by technological advancements, especially artificial intelligence and machine learning. From integrating prosthetic limbs to leveraging AI for educational enhancement, we augment our bodies and minds everyday. Moreover, artificial
intelligence systems themselves are evolving, adapting to new data sets, environments, and challenges. This fusion of technology with biology, cognition, and society calls for a multidisciplinary approach to both understand and shape the expansion of our mind and bodies in the future.

The focus theme “Augmenting minds and bodies” encompasses three focus areas:
• Augmenting bodies: Focus on prosthetics, biomedical signal analysis, and adaptability of neural systems
• Augmenting minds: Exploring the use of AI in education, developmental psychology, and approaches to trauma.
• Augmenting artificial intelligence systems: Investigating online & continuous learning, transfer learning, and few-shot learning.
The IK offers a variety of courses, introductory as well as more advanced, method as well as practical. Detailed program can be found here.
