Research

About 60 scientists conduct research on the Leibniz-WissenschaftsCampus “Cognitive Interfaces“. They investigate how information is digitally treated and which forms of interaction can be made available to support knowledge-intensive tasks such as learning, solving problems, or supporting decision-making.

The Leibniz-WissenschaftsCampus pools the expertise of a variety of disciplines and the know-how of scientists in the fields of psychology, informatics, biology didactics, dentistry, medicine, educational science, media science and sports science.

The researchers of the Leibniz-WissenschaftsCampus explore such questions as:

How can online platforms be used for conveying medical knowledge? How should they be optimally designed?
Which reviews are read when products are bought on the internet? When do the users themselves write a review or an evaluation?
How can algorithms for contact recommendations be optimized for a business network?
How can multitouch tables support doctors in the daily ward round of their patients with the presentation of relevant patient documents?
How must instructional concepts be designed to improve scientific conclusions, motivation and success in the learning process of school pupils?
How can tablets and the like be used to encourage learning and social integration?
