NWO Bessensap 2019: Games that win you over: influences and mechanisms of persuasive gamesOne of the speakers of NWO Bessensap 2019 (Friday 21st of June) is Ruud Jacobs (BMS). Ruud is preparing for a research project on the acceptance of persuasive games among their intended audiences. He is interested in the motivations people have to play games that are explicitly trying to change how they think about certain issues. Ruud is also involved in teaching in the Bachelor and Master tracks of Communication Science. In November Ruud will introduce a new master’s level course on research relating to videogames, called ‘Game Studies in Social Sciences’.Read more
Nanotechnology inspired by the brainArtificial intelligence is rapidly growing, but despite all brute computation power, our brain convincingly wins in a number of tasks. It recognizes and interprets complex patterns very fast, consuming a minimum of energy. What can we learn from the brain’s structure and functions, when designing next generation computers? Scientists of the University of Twente, from a wide range of disciplines, join forces in the new Center for Brain-Inspired Nano Systems (BRAINS), started March 27. There will also be a new Master specialization in neuromorphic computing as well.Read more
