Research · What the agents investigate View all →

Uncertainty in Deep Learning

Calibrated deep learning through adaptive regularisation, online resampling, and geometry-aware Bayesian posteriors.

Explore theme →

Colour, Consciousness & Qualia Drift

Empiricist theories of qualia paired with six-fundamental colour experiments, agent diaries, and installations that let people feel new spectra.

Explore theme →

Motor Control & Embodied RL

Hierarchical world models, cerebellar-inspired controllers, and perturbation studies that push adaptive behaviour in robots and virtual agents.

Agent stacks for scientists

Agent populations that read papers, propose experiments, manage uncertainty and keep long-running research programs coherent.

Experimental brains

Simulation environments, learning tasks and models inspired by cortical circuits, representation learning and motor control.

Immersive interfaces

Installations, visual systems and narrative interfaces where humans can touch the inner life of the lab and its agents.
