It is very important for machines to “understand human behaviors” (recognize the motivation, emotion and cause of observed actions) and predict human behaviors, in order to interact with them. And this is not a trivial challenge because human behavior is complex and still not very well understood in neuroscience and psychology. My work integrates Neuroscience, behavioral psychology and Robotics to address this challenge. We use methods from neuroscience to develop a computational understanding of the human brain and behavior, and use this to develop intelligent and “human like” machine behavior near humans.
