Overview

The Workshop on Cognitive Reasoning 2025 explored the relationship between biological and artificial intelligence under the theme Cognitive Scaling: Bridging Brains and Machines. Advances in AI raise fundamental questions about the nature of cognition, the architectures that support complex behavior, and the connections between learning, reasoning, and understanding. Bringing together perspectives from psychology, neuroscience, and AI, the workshop examined how research on brains and machines can inform one another.

The talks approached these questions through a range of research problems and methods: social cognition across ages, cultures, and species; structured world models in the human brain; visual learning; neural decoding of speech; and representations of other people’s beliefs in single neurons and language models. Other talks used virtual reality to quantify social perception and action, examined the ethical and economic behavior of AI agents, and proposed frameworks for human-centered AI.

The second morning featured student talks on intuitive physical reasoning, auditory representations of music and speech, the influence of language on vision, balanced multimodal learning, and causal discovery from subsampled time series. Across these topics, participants considered how findings about natural intelligence can guide computational models, and how artificial systems can help refine our explanations of human cognition. Talks, discussions, and informal conversations offered opportunities to compare evidence and methods across fields.

Speakers and talks

Federico Rossano

Affiliation: University of California, San Diego
Talk: Investigating diverse intelligences outside the lab: challenges and opportunities
Time: May 26, 10:00-10:30

Abstract

An incomplete understanding of the diversity of human and animal intelligence limits the replicability and predictive power of cognitive models. Drawing on studies of social interaction and social cognition across ages, cultures, and species, this talk examines how evolution, individual differences, and change can inform cognitive science. The research includes a large citizen-science study of pets using buttons to communicate with humans, comparisons of children in urban and rural settings, behavioral studies of several animal species, and a longitudinal video dataset of infant apes. It also introduces methods that combine computer vision, robotics, and cognitive science to measure behavior. Together, these studies show why individual differences, life history, and relationships matter for understanding diverse forms of intelligence.

Huan Luo

Affiliation: Peking University
Talk: Structured world model in human brains
Time: May 26, 10:30-11:00

Abstract

Despite lacking AI’s vast capacity to process and store data, the human brain has remarkable abilities to learn and reason. This talk explores the distinctive mental models that support these abilities. Combining behavioral and neuroscientific research with mathematical theory and information science, it examines how the brain processes, reorganizes, and compresses information into structured mental models. These processes underpin attention, memory, learning, and decision-making, allowing the brain to learn and reason within its resource constraints. The findings shed light on the distinctive ways in which humans construct mental models and offer insights for the development of brain-inspired world models in AI.

Affiliation: Shanghai Jiao Tong University
Talk: A neuroAI approach to understand biological visual learning
Time: May 26, 11:30-12:00

Abstract

Artificial intelligence aims to give machines human-like cognitive abilities, yet how humans acquire abilities such as vision, hearing, and language remains poorly understood. The emerging field of neuroAI connects the study of human cognition with the development of brain-inspired algorithms. This talk examines the neurocomputational mechanisms of learning in biological visual systems. Combining neural network modeling with neuroscientific methods, it addresses questions about the robust representations that emerge through visual learning and the capacity for continual learning in human vision. Comparisons between biological and artificial systems offer insights into the mechanisms of cognition and directions for developing AI.

Yuanning Li

Affiliation: ShanghaiTech University
Talk: Decoding and synthesizing natural speech of tonal language using electrocorticography
Time: May 26, 14:00-14:30

Abstract

Speech brain-computer interfaces offer a way to restore communication, but tonal languages pose particular challenges because lexical tones convey meaning. This talk examines tonal-language speech interfaces, from the neural control of speech to brain-to-speech synthesis and brain-to-text decoding. High-density electrocorticography recordings from native Mandarin speakers reveal how tuning patterns in the laryngeal motor cortex modulate pitch dynamics to control tone production. A modular, multi-stream neural network decodes tone and syllable information separately from distributed cortical populations, producing intelligible tonal syllables. To extend this approach to natural speech, a brain-to-text system combines multi-stream neural decoding with language models for robust sentence-level Mandarin decoding. These studies pair insights into neural mechanisms with algorithmic advances toward practical speech interfaces.

Mohsen Jamali

Affiliation: Harvard Medical School
Talk: Biological and artificial reasoning: what single neurons reveal
Time: May 26, 14:30-15:00

Abstract

This talk brings neuroscience and AI together to investigate how human brains and large language models represent other people’s thoughts and beliefs, a capacity known as theory of mind. Single-neuron recordings from the human dorsomedial prefrontal cortex identify neurons that track others’ beliefs, distinguish them from one’s own, and predict whether they are true or false. Analyses of large language models in comparable belief-based scenarios reveal internal representations that mirror key features of human neuronal activity. Both biological and artificial systems appear to rely on sparse, belief-sensitive units for social reasoning. Comparing them offers insights into the mechanisms of theory of mind and the similarities between brains and AI models in understanding other minds.

Chen Zhou

Affiliation: University of Glasgow
Talk: Quantifying human social perception and action with VR
Time: May 26, 15:00-15:30

Abstract

Humans readily identify social groups and navigate crowds, yet the computational rules underlying these behaviors remain poorly understood. This talk examines social perception and action in a controlled virtual environment, combining precise manipulation of virtual humans with psychophysical measurements of participants’ judgments and walking trajectories. The results support a social interaction field model of group perception and a social locomotion model of navigation in complex social settings. Both models are evaluated using open-access databases and real-world scenarios. Applying these models to social robots improves perceived human-likeness and comfort during human-robot interaction, connecting measurements of human behavior with the design of intelligent systems.

Biography

Mark Nitzberg

Affiliation: University of California, Berkeley
Talk: What is ‘Good AGI’? Moral foundations and the market behavior of AI agents
Time: May 26, 15:45-16:15

Abstract

As artificial general intelligence moves closer to practical deployment, what would it mean for AGI to be good? This talk considers how utilitarianism, deontology, virtue ethics, and other moral theories might guide AGI behavior and governance. It also examines how moral principles interact with real-world incentives and constraints. An AGI agent trained to maximize profit may exploit legal loopholes, externalize costs, destabilize markets, or engage in algorithmic collusion. Such outcomes can arise when optimization conflicts with public values. Aligning AGI with ethical principles therefore requires attention to institutions as well as technical mechanisms. The talk explores possible approaches to value alignment under adversarial conditions.

Zaifeng Gao

Affiliation: Zhejiang University
Talk: Toward a hierarchical human-centered AI (hHCAI): an intelligent sociotechnical systems (iSTS) framework
Time: May 26, 16:15-16:45

Abstract

Human-centered AI seeks to address AI’s negative effects on people and society, but existing approaches may give insufficient attention to sociotechnical factors. This talk proposes updated principles for sociotechnical systems design and an intelligent sociotechnical systems framework, or iSTS, extending traditional STS theory to address the demands of AI. The framework takes a human-centered approach to joint optimization at the individual, organizational, ecosystem, and societal levels. Combining iSTS with existing human-centered AI practices yields a hierarchical human-centered AI approach, hHCAI. The talk uses this broader sociotechnical perspective to address practical HCAI challenges and offers recommendations for future work on iSTS and hHCAI.

Biography

Zaifeng Gao is a Professor in the Department of Psychology and Behavioral Sciences at Zhejiang University. His research focuses on the psychological mechanisms of human-AI collaboration.

Shiqian Li

Affiliation: Peking University
Talk: Towards human-like intuitive physical reasoning
Time: May 27, 09:30-10:00

Abstract

People can understand and reason about the physical world without formal training in physics. This ability, known as intuitive physics, allows us to grasp physical concepts, predict how objects will behave, and interact effectively with our surroundings. This talk explores computational models of intuitive physics, with particular attention to the rapid learning, flexibility, and generalizability of human physical reasoning. It connects everyday predictions about physical events with the ability to solve complex physical puzzles, asking what makes human-like reasoning about the physical world possible.

Biography

At the time of the workshop, Shiqian Li was in the third year of a PhD program at the Institute for Artificial Intelligence, Peking University, having entered directly from undergraduate study. He was supervised by Yixin Zhu. His research focuses on intuitive physics, with the aim of building human-like intelligent systems that can understand physical principles, predict physical events, and interact with the physical world.

Ruolin Yang

Affiliation: Peking University
Talk: Representations of music and speech in human auditory cortex and the convolutional neural network
Time: May 27, 10:00-10:30

Abstract

This study compares representations of music and speech in the human auditory cortex and a deep neural network. Intracranial EEG was recorded from 55 epilepsy patients as they listened to instrumental melodies and two-syllable words; 14 also heard synthetic sounds with matched frequency features. High-gamma activity at 60-150 Hz identified 173 music-selective and 133 speech-selective contacts. Neural responses to natural sounds within a contact’s preferred category were more similar than responses to sounds outside that category; synthetic sounds did not show this distinction. A network trained on auditory tasks exhibited a comparable pattern in its fc6 layer. The findings suggest parallels between high-level representations in the auditory cortex and later network layers, beyond simple tuning to frequency features.

Biography

She studies the neural mechanisms of human visual and auditory perception, using intracranial electrophysiology, psychophysics, and deep neural network models to investigate how human sensory systems process information.

Haoyang Chen

Affiliation: Peking University
Talk: Language modulates vision: evidence from neural networks and human brain-lesion models
Time: May 27, 10:30-11:00

Abstract

Vision-language models such as CLIP align more closely with the human ventral occipitotemporal cortex, or VOTC, than earlier vision models, suggesting that language influences visual perception. This study combines comparisons of models and brain activity with brain-lesion data to examine that relationship. Across four datasets, CLIP predicted VOTC activity more accurately than label-supervised ResNet and unsupervised MoCo models, with a left-lateralized advantage consistent with the human language network. In 33 stroke patients, reduced white-matter integrity between VOTC and the language region in the left angular gyrus correlated with poorer CLIP performance and better MoCo performance. These findings support incorporating the effects of language into models of human vision and demonstrate how brain-lesion evidence can help evaluate and develop brain-inspired computational models.

Biography

At the time of the workshop, Haoyang Chen was moving from a master’s program to doctoral study in Yanchao Bi’s laboratory, with his PhD scheduled to begin in fall 2025. His research examines whether and how language influences sensory processing, particularly vision. He combines methods from cognitive neuroscience, multimodal neuroimaging, and computational modeling to study interactions between language and perception and the mechanisms of human cognition.

Yake Wei

Affiliation: Renmin University of China
Talk: Balanced Multimodal Learning
Time: May 27, 11:00-11:30

Abstract

Multimodal learning often uses a single objective to train models on different types of data, but differences between modalities can make joint learning difficult. In audiovisual classification, for example, visual data may offer richer information for distinguishing classes than audio, leading the model to learn more readily from vision and favor it over sound. As a result, some modalities may remain underlearned, limiting the performance of multimodal systems. This talk reviews research on balancing learning across heterogeneous modalities, brings together the main findings, and considers future directions. The goal is to help models make fuller use of the information available in each modality.

Biography

Yake Wei is a PhD student in the Gaoling School of Artificial Intelligence at Renmin University of China, supervised by Professor Hu Di. Her doctoral research focuses on the mechanisms of multimodal learning. She has published eight papers as first author, student first author, or co-first author, including four as first author, in venues including T-PAMI, ICML, CVPR, and ECCV. She received the 2024 Baidu Scholarship, awarded to ten recipients worldwide, and the National Scholarship for Doctoral Students. Her CVPR 2022 oral paper introduced Balanced Multimodal Learning as a research direction, which she has since explored through experiments, algorithms, and theory.

Mingzhou Liu

Affiliation: Peking University
Talk: Causal discovery from subsampled time series
Time: May 27, 11:30-12:00

Abstract

Subsampling makes causal discovery difficult when measurements are taken less frequently than causal influences occur. Existing methods may be restricted to linear cases or unable to establish identifiability. This talk introduces a constraint-based, nonparametric algorithm that identifies the complete causal structure of subsampled time series. Unmeasured time steps introduce hidden variables, but the temporal structure provides an observed proxy for each hidden variable at a later time. These proxies can remove the bias introduced by hidden variables and establish identifiability. The resulting proxy-based algorithm achieves full causal identification, with its theoretical advantages demonstrated in experiments using synthetic and real-world data.

Biography

Mingzhou Liu is a PhD student in Computer Science at Peking University, advised by Yizhou Wang. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering through the Zhiyuan Honors Program at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. His research combines causality and machine learning, focusing on the theory of causal discovery and its applications to improving the robustness of learning algorithms. He has published six papers on causality at conferences including ICML, NeurIPS, and ICLR.

Overview

Bridging Minds: How Psychology and Neuroscience Shape the Future of Artificial General Intelligence

The inaugural Workshop on Cognitive Reasoning brought together researchers in psychology, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence to explore how the study of human minds and brains can inform artificial general intelligence. The one-day program connected attention and social inference with causal discovery, detailed brain simulation, autonomous agents, collective decision-making, and AI safety.

Eleven speakers presented complementary approaches to understanding intelligence. The morning sessions ranged from information-theoretic accounts of attention to cognitive architectures for autonomous agents; the afternoon extended the discussion to collective learning, brain architecture, comparisons between human brains and deep neural networks, and concept induction. Together, the talks established the workshop’s central concern: developing a dialogue between empirical studies of cognition and computational models of intelligent behavior.
