- Legal reasoning 2
- Basic rights are essential for our societies. All of them are equally important and have to be protected. However, there are situations in which basic rights are in conflict. For instance, what happens if a journalist takes pictures of a celebrity? The celebrity has the right to privacy and the journalist the right to freedom of press. Which basic right should be protected in this specific case? What can make such a decision rational?
- Cognitive, cortical and computational correlates of belief revision in spatial reasoning
- Humans and artificial agents frequently must change their existing beliefs about the way how objects are arranged in space, in order to take into account a new piece of spatial information. So, how do humans revise their beliefs if a new piece of spatial information is inconsistent with earlier assumptions? When do they hold on to a belief and when do they change their mind? What are the neural correlates of belief revision in human spatial reasoning?
