MaxPlanckResearch 4/2019 – Learning | Max-Planck-Gesellschaft

https://www.mpg.de/14555281/MPR_2019_4

Learning, i.e. the acquisition of skills, follows complex rules and principles – whether in humans, animals, or the world of computers. In any case, the learning of living creatures requires mental peak performance – be it in language acquisition in childhood, or when birds learn to sing. Machine learning, on the other hand, requires sophisticated algorithms and large data sets so that a computer can interpret human eye movements, for example. Researchers of the Max Planck Society are working on all these topics.

MaxPlanckResearch 3/2019 – Freedom | Max-Planck-Gesellschaft

https://www.mpg.de/14148750/MPR_2019_3

For 70 years, the German Basic Law has safeguarded fundamental rights and freedoms. Academic freedom is essential for science. One aspect of this issue of our magazine is how such freedom has developed over the centuries. But freedom is also the subject of research itself. Researchers are investigating the state of judicial independence and how people experienced the transition from the GDR to the liberal Western system.

Tracking down motion perception | Max-Planck-Gesellschaft

Surely, everybody knows this phenomenon: an animal doesn’t stand out against its background and becomes visible to us only when it moves. The reason behind this is that we depend strongly on our eyesight for navigation, and the perception of motion is particularly well developed. But what exactly happens in the brain during this process? How must the nerve cells be interconnected for movements to be recognized as such? Scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology in Martinsried have now established that two different motion detectors are required for this process in the fly brain.
