Robots and Theory of Mind

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

Hegel, F./Krach, S./Kircher, T./Wrede, B./Sagerer, G. (2008), Theory of Mind (ToM) on Robots: A Neuroimaging Study

Hegel and colleagues present (preliminary) results of a neuroimaging study on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) and Theory of Mind (ToM). What they are interested in, is whether the shape of the interacting partner (human, anthropomorphic robot, functional robot, computer) in a Prisoner’s Dilemma Game scenario would have an influence on the measured activity in ToM brain areas (medial prefrontal lobe, anterior cingulate cortex).
