Can AI Read Your Emotions? The Truth Behind Emotion Recognition Technology

Damien Dupré (DCU Business School)

Inside the mind of a fruit fly: they're just like us

Katie Marquand (PhD Student, Trinity Institute of Neuroscience)

A discussion of a range of emotional-like behaviours of fruit flies and other insects, including aggression, playing, and addiction, and how these behaviours give neuroscientists insight into how the brain makes complex decisions.

I Hate myself: what is going on and what to do about it!

Jan de Vries (Subject Leader Psychology, Trinity College Dublin)
