Wissen | Leben, the newspaper at WWU Münster provides insights into the research of our Collaborative Research Centre in the theme page of its June issue.

Here, scientists from our team provide insights into what intelligent matter means to them. More light is shed on the work of biochemist Seraphine Wegner and Wilfred van der Wiel explains why intelligent matter may help to solve some of the energy problems of tomorrow.

Philosophical Aspects of Intelligence

© Niklas Arndt

Antonio Bikić just joined the Collaborative Research Centre 1459 "Intelligent Matter" to study the philosophical aspects of intelligence. One focus of his work is the question whether a theory of truth can be found for (spike-based) machine learning algorithms that can satisfactorily represent the action of the networks. He will further investigate whether teleonomic processes could in principle be realized in neuromorphic hardware.
