Knowing me, knowing you: theory of mind in AI.

Psychological medicine
Artificial intelligence has dramatically changed the world as we know it, but is yet to fully embrace 'hot' cognition, i.e., the way an intelligent being's thinking is affected by their emotional state. Artificial intelligence encompassing hot cognit...

Pragmatics, Theory of Mind and executive functions in schizophrenia: Disentangling the puzzle using machine learning.

PloS one
OBJECTIVE: Schizophrenia is associated with a severe impairment in the communicative-pragmatic domain. Recent research has tried to disentangle the relationship between communicative impairment and other domains usually impaired in schizophrenia, i.e...

Brain dynamics and temporal trajectories during task and naturalistic processing.

NeuroImage
Human functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data are acquired while participants engage in diverse perceptual, motor, cognitive, and emotional tasks. Although data are acquired temporally, they are most often treated in a quasi-static manner. ...

We perceive a mind in a robot when we help it.

PloS one
People sometimes perceive a mind in inorganic entities like robots. Psychological research has shown that mind perception correlates with moral judgments and that immoral behaviors (i.e., intentional harm) facilitate mind perception toward otherwise ...

Believing androids - fMRI activation in the right temporo-parietal junction is modulated by ascribing intentions to non-human agents.

Social neuroscience
Attributing mind to interaction partners has been shown to increase the social relevance we ascribe to others' actions and to modulate the amount of attention dedicated to them. However, it remains unclear how the relationship between higher-order mi...

Seeing Minds in Others - Can Agents with Robotic Appearance Have Human-Like Preferences?

PloS one
Ascribing mental states to non-human agents has been shown to increase their likeability and lead to better joint-task performance in human-robot interaction (HRI). However, it is currently unclear what physical features non-human agents need to poss...

In our own image? Emotional and neural processing differences when observing human-human vs human-robot interactions.

Social cognitive and affective neuroscience
Notwithstanding the significant role that human-robot interactions (HRI) will play in the near future, limited research has explored the neural correlates of feeling eerie in response to social robots. To address this empirical lacuna, the current in...

Inference of other's internal neural models from active observation.

Bio Systems
Recently, there have been several attempts to replicate theory of mind, which explains how humans infer the mental states of other people using multiple sensory input, with artificial systems. One example of this is a robot that observes the behavior...

Children's attribution of mental states to humans and social robots assessed with the Theory of Mind Scale.

Scientific reports
The present work examined children's attribution of psychological properties to inanimate agents in two experiments. In Study 1, an Interview Task and the Theory of Mind Scale (ToM Scale) were administered to 4-year-olds with either a human or a huma...
