Investigating the Role of AI in Shaping Our Perception of Reality
At the Multisensory Brain and Cognition Laboratory, our research is inspired by science fiction to delve into the captivating intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), computer technologies, and human perception. Our objective is to comprehend the role of AI in shaping our perception of the world around us and to investigate the implications this has for our understanding of realities: real, virtual and AI-generated.
Our research spans various areas, including investigating the capabilities of AI and virtual reality technologies to create realistic simulations and examining the implications this has for our perception of reality. Furthermore, we explore the concept that we might be living in one of many simulated universes, and we examine the likelihood of this hypothesis as AI and computer technologies continue to advance.
We also investigate the potential of integrating AI, computer technologies, and brain-computer interfaces to create simulated experiences that are directly fed into our brains, and we consider the implications this has for the Simulation Hypothesis. Additionally, we study the fundamental laws of physics, recent discoveries in fields like quantum mechanics and string theory, and the possibility that our universe might be inherently digital in nature.
Our interdisciplinary team of researchers at the Multisensory Brain and Cognition Laboratory is committed to pushing the boundaries of our understanding of the nature of reality. Through rigorous scientific exploration and philosophical inquiry, we aim to uncover the role of AI and computer technologies in shaping our perception of the world, and how this understanding could inform the development of future technologies and their integration into our lives.
We invite you to learn more about our research on the Simulation Hypothesis and join us in our pursuit of knowledge as we explore the frontiers of AI, computer technologies, and human perception. Welcome to the Multisensory Brain and Cognition Laboratory, where curiosity, innovation, and rigorous scientific inquiry come together to challenge and expand our understanding of reality.
