Sports, fashion, smart textiles and thus also artificial intelligence, in their impact on the individual and their participation in education and society, as well as a means of expressing profound communication

Humans think in many dimensions at the same time
A key aim of our perception is to recognise objects and assign them to different categories – for example, whether this object in front of us is a dog and whether a dog belongs to the category of animals. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig and the…
