MoveApps – first steps of innovative movement analysis platform

Rado Seminar by Andrea Költzsch

Date: Jan 27, 2023
Time: 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM (Local Time Germany)
Speaker: Andrea Költzsch
Location: Hybrid meeting
Room: Seminar room MPI-AB Möggingen + Online
Host: Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior

Out of the depth of code development, I want to update you all about MoveApps – our award-winning analysis platform for inclusive data analysis, reproducible science and real-time conservation intervention. After a short introduction of background ideas, I will talk about the novelty of the system and how it has evolved since it was launched as beta version two years ago. Then, the focus of the ...

Connecting the dots between environmental predictability, cognition and animal movement

Date: Jan 31, 2023
Time: 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM (Local Time Germany)
Speaker: Louise Riotte-Lambert
Louise Riotte-Lambert is a member of the MAD (Movement, Abundance, Distribution) team at CNRS, interested in animal movement, its underlying processes (cognitive, evolutionary, environmental…), and its ecological consequences.
Room: ZT702 UKN + online
Host: Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior

Environmental predictability is a critical determinant of animal cognition and movement. Animals that have the appropriate cognitive skills use it to reduce mortality risks and increase the efficiency of resource acquisition. Environmental predictability thus impacts individuals’ movement decisions, their fitness, and ultimately acts as a selective pressure upon cognitive skills such as spatial ... [more]

Nonequilibrium Neural Computation: Stochastic thermodynamics of the asymmetric Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model

Date: Feb 7, 2023
Time: 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM (Local Time Germany)
Speaker: Miguel Aguilera
Miguel Aguilera is an Ikerbasque Research Fellow at the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics working at the interface of areas like complex systems, computational neuroscience and cognitive science.
Room: M631 UKN + Online
Host: Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior
Contact: all.science@ab.mpg.de

Effective neural information processing entails flexible architectures integrating multiple sensory streams that vary in time with internal and external events. Physically, neural computation is, in a thermodynamic sense, an out-of-equilibrium, non-stationary process that changes dynamically giving rise to entropy production. Cognitively, nonequilibrium neural activity results in dynamic changes ... [more]
