By putting neural networks in robots, researchers are able to build models of complex cognitive functions such as perception, attention, and curiosity, experiment on them, and immediately get feedback directly from the neural network about decision-making behaviour. In this novel approach dubbed “robopsychology,” they have demonstrated the potential for synergistic research utilizing behavioural, computational, and neural techniques that could be crucial for advancing treatments and prevention strategies for mental conditions such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer´s disease.
