Exploring intelligence in all its forms

Individual cells are important building blocks of intelligence. So are the computers that assist humans each day with everyday functions like playing music, drafting emails and even controlling systems in their homes and offices.

Intelligent Systems members study how the brain works by exploring functions like cognition, language acquisition, memory, emotion, vision, decision-making and aging. Some start with the cellular and molecular aspects of the brain. Others look at how biological systems work together, resulting in human behaviors and emotions. Still more are delving into computational methods, including artificial intelligence and how humans interact with it.
