What are the social consequences when incidents of hate and exclusion fail to elicit responses? This is what a new project at Mi3 will explore, funded by the BGF. The one-year project addresses growing challenges for democratic societies, especially as online harassment becomes more pervasive.

If you’ve ever clicked “I agree” on data privacy forms without reading them, you’re not alone. Students tend to do the same thing over data collected about their learning. What happens when they talk about it? A study co-authored by Mi3’s @louislongin.bsky.social explores this: tinyurl.com/ywc7rejd

Our brains do not just care about what we see, but also whether others are also seeing it. A new study led by Mi3's Mustafa Yavuz reveals that even when no one is interacting with you, your brain shifts into a more alert state the moment something you see becomes shareable: tinyurl.com/mwxp7tb4

The data is consistent with, what we call, the 'reluctant allure': participants are reluctant towards sharing brain data; not because brain data is more revealing but because it feels more like the self.

🧠 New preprint: why are people reluctant to share their brain data? Together with @opheliaderoy.bsky.social at @mi3lab.bsky.social, I've investigated public attitudes towards neurotechnologies. The intuitive answer is that people worry what brain data reveals. Our data tells a different story.

What does it mean for a robot to be “aware”? For animals, awareness is woven into every movement, but those abilities don’t come naturally to AI. A study co-authored by Mi3 researcher Nadine Meertens with colleagues at the University of Bristol offers a practical way to do that: tinyurl.com/4zumcyur
