Inspiring Self-control bY Neurobehavioral Coupling
One of the most important human abilities is to learn by observing others. Rather than engaging in an arduous and potentially dangerous trial-and-error process to solve a problem or accomplish a task, people can simply observe others who excel at the task and mimic their behavior. In the 1960s and 1970s, research into model learning led Albert Bandura to develop one of the most important theories in psychology: 'Social Learning Theory'. The mechanisms that Bandura cited at this time as the basis for observational learning were general cognitive processes of attention, memory or motivation. The research project. "The Mechanisms of Model Learning" aims to test the hypothesis that a more specific mechanism makes this method so successful: the tendency of people to spontaneously put themselves in the shoes of others and adopt their perspective, thoughts and feelings.

FIRWARE driven energy communities for the future
Prosumers and energy communities are actors in modern energy systems who have detailed information about their consumption and generation. ECom4Future utilizes this information for more efficient planning and operation of energy systems.

Contract Decisions of Consumers between Law and Psychology - Contract Decisions of Consumers between Law and Psychology
Contract Decisions of Consumers between Law and Psychology - Contract Decisions of Consumers between Law and Psychology
The interdisciplinary project CLP deals with consumer behavior: Consumers make contractual decisions on an almost daily basis and, depending on the type of contract, bad decisions can be very or very stressful and can even jeopardize basic living conditions. What leads people to make good or bad contractual decisions? And who or what protects them from bad decisions?

Truly Carbon Neutral electricity enhanced Synthesis of Liquefied Natural Gas from biomass
CarbonNeutralLNG aims at the cost-effective and carbon-efficient utilization of carbon sources from biomass to replace fossil diesel fuels with renewable "electricity-enhanced BioLNG" on a global scale. Low-carbon transportation will increasingly rely on liquid energy sources such as liquefied natural gas from biomass (GreenLNG).
