Computational models of intrinsic motivation for curiosity and creativity
Wulfram Gerstner, Alireza Modirshanechi, Sophia Becker
We link Ivancovsky et al.'s novelty-seeking model (NSM) to computational models of intrinsically motivated behavior and learning. We argue that dissociating different forms of curiosity, creativity, and memory based on the involvement of distinct intrinsic ...
2024A Research-Practice Partnership to Introduce Computer Science in Secondary School: Lessons from a Pilot Program
Francesco Mondada, Helena Kovacs, Jean-Philippe Pellet, Barbara Bruno, Laila Abdelsalam El-Hamamsy
Context: Introducing Computer Science (CS) into formal education can be challenging, notably when considering the numerous stakeholders involved which include the students, teachers, schools, and policy makers. We believe these perspectives should be con ...
2023DRONE GAME THAT HIGHLIGHTS ETHICAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPLICATIONS OF DESIGN DECISIONS
Siara Ruth Isaac, Barbara Bruno, Gianni Lodetti
This paper reports on the development of a brief scenario-based challenge to prompt engineering students’ reflection about the broader impacts of their design decisions, and thereby increase their ethical sensitivity and motivation. The game scenario asks ...
CDIO conference proceedings2023Academic boredom(s): a person-centered investigation
Should we refer to boredom or boredoms? Research on the emotion of boredom sets itself apart from studies on other emotions by posing the question: is boredom a singular concept or does it have multiple facets? In this manuscript presenting empirical resea ...
2023Perceived impacts of the Fridays for Future climate movement on environmental concern and behaviour in Switzerland
Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Livia Bianca Fritz, Ralph Hansmann
Calling for increased action on climate change, Fridays for Future (FFF) quickly gained momentum around the world and became highly visible through strikes and protests in more than 150 countries. Considering its scale and magnitude, questions about the im ...
2023Cortical sensory processing across motivational states during goal-directed behavior
Carl Petersen, Georgios Foustoukos, Matthieu Pierre Auffret, Sami El-Boustani, Johannes Maria Mayrhofer, Maëlle Guyoton
Behavioral states can influence performance of goal-directed sensorimotor tasks. Yet, it is unclear how altered neuronal sensory representations in these states relate to task performance and learning. We trained water-restricted mice in a two-whisker disc ...
2022Designing Online Multiplayer Games with Haptically and Virtually Linked Tangible Robots to Enhance Social Interaction in Therapy
Pierre Dillenbourg, Arzu Güneysu Özgür, Hala Khodr, Mehdi Akeddar
The social aspects of therapy and training are important for patients to avoid social isolation and must be considered when designing a platform, especially for home-based rehabilitation. We proposed an online version of the previously proposed tangible Pa ...
IEEE2022Emotion Recognition in a Multi-Componential Framework: The Role of Physiology
Maëlan Quentin Menétrey, Gelareh Mohammadi
The Component Process Model is a well-established framework describing an emotion as a dynamic process with five highly interrelated components: cognitive appraisal, expression, motivation, physiology and feeling. Yet, few empirical studies have systematic ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2022Activity-based modeling and simulation of epidemics
Michel Bierlaire, Cloe Cortes Balcells, Rico Krüger
The SARS-CoV-2 outburst in March 2020 has led to the lockdown of several countries across the world. Mobility restrictions have been constantly put into action and reversed to find the trade-off between minimizing the number of infections and death and mit ...
2021Glutamine-to-glutamate ratio in the nucleus accumbens predicts effort-based motivated performance in humans
Rolf Gruetter, Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Lijing Xin, Gediminas Luksys, Alina Veronika Irene Strasser
Substantial evidence implicates the nucleus accumbens in motivated performance, but very little is known about the neurochemical underpinnings of individual differences in motivation. Here, we applied 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) at ultra-hi ...
