Subject: PhD studentship
Birkbeck College
Department of Psychology
PhD Studentship in Cognitive Neuroscience
The Birkbeck Psychology Department was rated 5 in the last Research
Assessment Exercise. It is now offering a departmentally-funded PhD
studentship, available from October 1998, to work in the laboratory of
Professor Mark Johnson on issues concerned with the development of visual
cognitive abilities in infants in relation to the postnatal growth of the
brain. Techniques employed can include the use of high-density
event-related potentials with infants and adults, connectionist/neural
network modelling, eye movement scanning, and behavioural testing of normal
and abnormal populationsl. While candidates should have some developmental
interest, work on ERP correlates of visual cognition in adults is also
possible.
Students with, or expecting, a first class or upper second class degree in
experimental psychology, cognitive science, or neuroscience, should send
their full CV, the names of two referees, and a 2-page statement of their
research interests to:

John Lavagnino has kindly pointed me to Jerry Fodor's very fine, lucid and
typically funny, review of Steven Pinker, How the mind works, and Henry
Plotkin, Evolution in mind, "The Trouble with Psychological Darwinism",
London Review of Books, <http://www.lrb.co.uk/v20n02/fodo2002.html>, or by
clicking via <http://www.lrb.co.uk/> in the frames version. This is worth
reading for several reasons, among them to see the value of stating clearly
what we don't know -- in fact the value of stating clearly.

A kvantummechanika egyik rejtelye az EPR-Bell jelenseg: terszeruen

sulyos diszkrepancia van a kozott, ahogyan a kozos ok fogalmat a
kvantummechanikaban hasznaljuk, es ahogyan az a stochasztikus

Aims and scopes:
The main aim of the conference is to bring together scholars from the
field of cognitive linguistics, philosophy and psychology to
investigate the concept of rule and to address various aspects of
rule-following. Ever since Wittgenstein formulated in Philosophical
investigations his famous 201§ concerning a kind of rule-following
which is not an interpretation, the concept of rule has become a key
but elusive idea in almost every discipline and approach. And not
only in the human sciences. No wonder, since without this
idea the whole edifice of human (and possibly all other kinds of)
rationality would surely collapse. With the rise of cognitive
science, and especially the appearance of connectionist
models and networks, however, the classical concept of rule is once
again seriously contested.
To put it very generally, there is an ongoing debate between the
classical conception in which rules appear as a set of formularizable
initial conditions or constraints on external operations linking
different successive states of a given system (algorithms) and a
dynamic conception in which there is nothing that could be correlated
with a prior idea of internal well-formedness of the system's states.
The debate centers on the representability of rules: either they are
conceived of as meta-representations, or they are mere faon de parler
concerning the development of complex systems. Idealizable on the one
hand, while token-oriented on the other. Something to be implemented
on the one hand, while self-controlling, backpropagational
processing, on the other. There is however a common idea that almost
all kinds of rule-conceptions address: the problem of learning. This
idea reverberates from wittgensteinian pragmatics to strategic
non-verbal and rule-governed speech behavior, from perceiving
similarities to mental processing.
Here are some haunting questions:
- How do we acquire knowledge if there are no regularities in the
world around us? - But how can we perceive those regularities? - And
how do we reason on the basis of that knowledge if there are no
observable constraints on infererring? - But if there are, where do
they come from and how are they actually implemented mentally? - And
finally: how do we come to act rationally, that is, in accordance
with what we have perceived, processed and inferred. We are
interested in all ways of defining rules and in all aspects of rule
following, from the definition of law, rule, regularity, similarity
and analogy to logical consequence, argumentational and other
inferences, statistical and linguistic rules, practical and strategic
reasoning, pragmatic and praxeological activities. We expect
contribution from the following research fields: game-theory, action
theory, argumentation theory, cognitive science, linguistics,
philosophy of language, epistemology, pragmatics, psychology and
semiotics. We would be happy to include some contributions from
natural sciences such as neuro-biology, physiology or brain sciences.
The conference is organized in three major sections: philosophy,
psychology and linguistics with six keynote lectures. Then
contributions of 30 minutes (20 for paper and 10 for discussion) will
follow. We also plan to organize a workshop at the end of each
section
Abstracts:
Abstracts should be one-page (maximum 23 lines) specifying area of
contribution and the particular aspect of rule-following to be
addressed. Abstracts should be sent by e-mail to:
