Subjective facts
It is sometimes argued that the subjective character of experience gives
a reason to reject physicalism, the doctrine that everything is
physical. The argument is that the existence of subjective facts shows
that not all facts are physical. I argue that this way of arguing makes
physicalism too easy to refute; since there plainly are subjective facts
in the relevant sense,physicalists would be better advised not to
express their view as the view that all facts are physical. But how then
should physicalism be expressed?

Greetings,
Quite a number of vision and cognitive scientists have urged me to send
out a notification of my recently published book on illusions, which
contains many new effects, as well as the traditional classic ones. It
is the best published collection so far.
Although the book is in a popular format, the over 160 full page
illustrations are of high quality and in color, which makes it
worthwhile collection for anyone studying vision and cognitive science.
The Art of Optical Illusions by Al Seckel
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1842220543/psycheorpsycheorA
It is available for $17.00 at amazon.com
I am actively researching illusions, and have assembled the largest
collection of such effects in the world. Many of you will be familiar
with my web site (www.illusionworks.com) that is heavily cited. If you
have discovered some new effects, I would be most interested in hearing
about them, as I am preparing an authoritative treatise for MIT Press.
Appreciatively,

graduate students with about 700 full-time faculty. The University has
faculties of Arts and Science, Health Sciences (including Medicine,
Nursing and Rehabilitation Medicine), Law, Applied Science (Engineering),
Education and Business as well as a School of Graduate Studies and
Research.
Queen�s ranks highly among Canadian universities. Among Ontario
universities, Queen�s has the highest proportion of Ontario Scholars among
its first year students. It ranks at or near the top among Canadian
universities in terms of: scholarship and bursary funding; Rhodes
scholars; students who complete their degrees; and in the number of Killam
Awards made to faculty members. In a yearly review carried out by the
weekly magazine Macleans, Queen�s has consistently been highly ranked on a
number of indices and has typically placed second in the overall ranking

Department of Psychology
The Department of Psychology was established in 1949 although work in

Department has 32 full time faculty members, two special appointments, 19
cross appointments, 17 adjunct professors and 27 clinical supervisors.
Faculty research covers a wide variety of areas. At the graduate level
there are three main programmes of study: Brain, Behaviour and Cognitive

available. Ten full-time faculty members are identified with the Clinical
Programme.
The graduate programme in Clinical Psychology was established in 1959 and
adheres to a scientist-practitioner model of training with greater
emphasis on scientific training.� The major aim is not only to transmit
existing knowledge, but to develop constructively critical attitudes and
creative skills in psychologists who are dedicated to clinical psychology
as a scientific profession, so that they will be able to make useful and
novel contributions to the solution of problems arising in clinical
settings. All three functions of clinical psychology are stressed:
assessment, treatment, and research. Objective methods are preferred in
assessment, and the major emphasis in treatment is on empirically-based
approaches. Instruction emphasizes cognitive-behavioural approaches,
although reference is also made to other psychotherapeutic approaches as
well as physical methods of treatment. The programme is accredited by both
the Canadian and the American Psychological Associations. Of the 28 M.A.
and 83 Ph.D. graduate students currently registered in the Department, 8
and 38, respectively, are in the Clinical Programme. More information

Twenty-third Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society
August 1 - 4, 2001
University of Edinburgh, Scotland

Call for Papers:
Cognitive Science pursues a scientific understanding of the
mind through all available methodologies, notably those of
anthropology, artificial intelligence, computer science,
education, linguistics, logic, neuroscience, philosophy and
psychology, in whatever combinations are most appropriate to
the topic at hand. The focus of this year's conference will
be to represent the full breadth of research in the
cognitive sciences, in ways that will lead to useful mutual
interaction. All contributions should be addressed to an
interdisciplinary audience.
* STANDARD SPOKEN PAPERS: 20-minute spoken
presentations, which (if accepted) will be published as
6-page papers in the Proceedings;
* STANDARD POSTERS: poster presentations, which (if
accepted) will be published as 6-page papers in the
Proceedings;
* ABSTRACT POSTERS: poster presentations, which (if
accepted) will be published in the Proceedings as one-page
abstracts, but can be submitted only by members of the
Cognitive Science Society. For information about
membership, see http://www.umich.edu/~cogsci or contact the
Executive Officer, Colleen Seifert (Fax: (734) 429-9248;
email: cogsci(a)umich.edu; mail: Cognitive Science Society,

a discussant, which if accepted will be published as one-
page abstracts in the Proceedings.
Submissions for standard spoken papers, standard posters,
and symposia will be reviewed by an international panel of
experts according to the following criteria: Significance;
Relevance to a Broad Audience of Cognitive Science
Researchers; Originality; Technical Merit; and Clarity of
Presentation.
ALL submissions for standard spoken papers, standard
posters, abstract posters, and symposia should be submitted
according to the instructions at
http://www.hcrc.ed.ac.uk/cogsci2001. Electronic templates
will be provided for a number of formats. Unfortunately, we
will not be able to accept material not submitted on these

notified in time to return final versions of their
contributions by late April.
