We cooperated with many researchers from other labs in Germany, Hungary, Spain, United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, USA, France, Austria, Finland, Canada, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy resulting in more than 100 joint papers, more than 10 jointly organized symposia (“1st Leipzig Prediction in Audition Workshop: Attention, Deviance Detection and Prediction in auditory perception", 2013: BioCog meets Spain, Netherlands, and Hungary”) and international conferences (e.g., "Error Signals from the Brain - 7th Mismatch Negativity Conference, MMN 2015") in Leipzig, more than 10 international workshops and conferences, and - importantly - in fruitful discussions helping to exchange ideas between scientists from different labs, from different disciplines, using different methods (computational modeling, animal research, eye-movement measurements, vision research).
For example, we intensively cooperated with István Winkler from the Institute for Psychology of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (Budapest, Hungary), in which we join two separate research fields, namely auditory scene analysis and auditory deviance/target detection. Noting that both functions relate incoming information to what is already known about the environment, we argue that object representation and deviance detection can be described as relying on a common generative model of the auditory environment (within Hungary we also cooperated with Istvan Czigler, with János Horváth, and with Gergely Csibra and their teams).
We also cooperated with Sue Denham from the School of Psychology of Plymouth University (UK) with respect to computational modeling (within UK, we also cooperated with Karl Friston, London, and just started a cooperation with Joachim Gross, Glasgow), with Manolo Malmierca from the Instituto de Neurociencias de Castilla y León (Salamanca, Spain) with respect of how to translate our findings to animal research in order to solve open issues brought up by human research, with Juanita Todd of the School of Psychology of the University of Newcastle (Australia) in order to investigate deficits in predictive processing in Schizophrenia), Ralf Engbert of the Department Psychologie (Universität Potsdam) with respect how to utilize miniature eye-movements for auditory predictive processing, with Robert O´Shea from the School of Psychology and Exercise Science of Murdoch University (Australia) and Motohiro Kimura from the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) of the Department of Information Technology and Human Factors (Japan) with respect to predictive processing in vision, with Carles Escera Cognitive from the Neuroscience Research Group from the University of Barcelona (Spain) with respect to mid-latency effects of auditory predictive processing, with Fabrice Parmentier (Mallorca, Spain) on regularity violation detection, with Florian Waszak (Paris, France) on N1 suppression, and with plenty of other researchers working in this field (cf. e.g. coauthors in joint papers or authors invited to contribute to our special issues).
In the final phase of this Koselleck project many joint research ideas were developed and joint grant applications were submitted (but, as usual, only part of them being successful). To give some examples: a) the Leipzig cooperation on predictive sensory-motor cycles resulted in the (unsuccessful) CRC-initiative 1300 “Analysis and modulation of sensorimotor neural networks: from physiology to therapy” including 26 PIs, (b) the (successful) ANR-DFG French-German collaboration project “Action Effect Predictions: Influence of Intention and Attention” with Florian Waszak and his group (Paris), c) to several (successful) DAAD-PPP exchange projects (Australia, Spain, Hungary).
