Call for Papers: Religion, Cognitive Science and Evolution

by david smith

Second Annual Conference of the New England Institute for Cognitive Science and Evolutionary Psychology Call for papers: Religion, Cognitive Science, and Evolutionary Psychology At least since the great psychologist and philosopher William James, the issue of religious experience has been the subject of scientific investigation. The conference will apply empirical and theoretical findings from cognitive science and evolutionary psychology, including neuroscience, philosophy, and anthropology to explore the nature of religion and the religious experience from a variety of disciplinary perspectives and methodologies. The New England Institute for Cognitive Science and Evolutionary Psychology (NEI) invites papers for its 2nd International Conference. Papers should explore some aspect of the cognitive and evolutionary basis of religion. The conference is to be held August 12 and 13, 2003 in Portland, Maine. Selected papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Proposals should be received no later than February 1st 2003, and completed papers by April 1st, 2003.

G. S. Stent eloadasa

Kémiai Tudományok Osztálya 1051 Bp., Nádor u. 7., I. em. 117 tel./fax: 411-6167 e-mail: pappe(a)office.mta.hu --------------------------------- Az MTA Kémiai Tudományok Osztálya, az MTA-ELTE Szerkezeti Kémiai Tanszéki Kutatócsoportja és a BME Általános és Analitikai Kémiai Tanszéke tisztelettel meghívja Prof. G. S. Stent (University of California at Berkeley, USA) 2003. január 14-én, kedden 14.00 órakor az MTA Felolvasótermében (Bp. V., Roosevelt tér 9., I. em.) tartandó The Paradox of Free Will and the Limits of Human Reason címu" elo"adására Az elo"adás alapjául Stent Professzor 2002-ben megjelent máris díjnyertes Paradoxes of Free Will cimu" könyve szolgál. A könyvben Stent provides an easily accessible, literate introduction to the ancient quandary of the freedom of the will. He traces its origins and its development by major thinkers, from the dawn of civilization to contemporary philosophers and scientists. Stent argues that Immanuel Kant was right in claiming that the paradox of free will inheres in human reason. Thus our innate pure theoretical reason tells us that a causal chain dating back to the beginning of time determines all happenings in the world (including human willing). Our innate pure practical reason tells us, however, that without being able to will freely, we could not understand ourselves as moral agents. Thus, according to Kant, we have to learn to live with this deep existential paradox as best as we can. In his discussions of the paradox, Stent considers many fields of study that touch on it, such as history, philosophy, biology, physics, evolutionary epistemology, sociobiology, and etiquette. The book succeeds in crossing narrow disciplinary lines without minimizing substantive issues. Gunther S. Stent received a Ph.D. in physical chemistry from the University of Illinois in 1948. Upon being awarded postdoctoral research fellowships by the US National Research Council, he joined the founders of the then nascent (and as yet unnamed) discipline of molecular biology, first at the California Institute of Technology, then at the University of Copenhagen, and finally at the Pasteur Institute of Paris. His affiliation with the University of California, Berkeley, began in 1952 as Assistant Research Biochemist and continues today as Professor of Molecular Biology, Emeritus. Stent's professional experience includes also appointments as Senior Fellow of the National Science Foundation at the Universities of Kyoto and of Cambridge; External Member of the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin; Guggenheim Fellow at Harvard Medical School; and Fogarty Scholar in Residence at the US National Institutes of Health. He was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 1984.

CFP: CONTEXT'03, the Fourth International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context

by Roberta Ferrario

============================================================== We apologize for multiple copies of this call for papers ============================================================= | CONTEXT'03 | | Fourth International and Interdisciplinary Conference on | Modeling and Using Context | | Stanford, California (USA) | June 23-25, 2003 | | (www.context.umcs.maine.edu/CONTEXT-03) | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ The Fourth International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context (CONTEXT'03) will provide a high-quality forum for discussions about context among researchers active in artificial intelligence and other areas of computer science, cognitive science, linguistics, the organizational sciences, philosophy, and psychology. Context affects a wide range of activities in humans and animals as well as in artificial agents and other computer programs. The importance of context is widely acknowledged, and "context" has become an area of study in its own right, as evidenced by the numerous workshops, symposia, seminars, and conferences held recently. CONTEXT, the oldest conference series focusing on context, is unique due to its strong emphasis on interdisciplinary research. Previous CONTEXT conferences have been held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (CONTEXT'97), Trento, Italy (CONTEXT'99), and Dundee, Scotland (CONTEXT'01). Each of these brought together researchers in many disparate fields to discuss and report on research on context-related topics. The proceedings of CONTEXT'03 will be published in a Lecture Notes series (http://www.springer.de/comp/lnai) of SpringerVerlag, as were those of the previous two CONTEXT conferences. TOPICS OF INTEREST To guide potential submissions, a representative sampling of topics of interest for CONTEXT'03 are as follows (in alphabetical order). This is not an exhaustive list, and other contributions are welcome, although all submissions must have a focus on context. Analogy and case-based reasoning Autonomous Agents and Agent-based Systems Cognitive Modeling Commonsense Reasoning Context Issues in Databases Context-aware Applications Contextual effects on language Contextual effects on problem-solving, understanding and production decision-making, and categorization Decision Support and Expert Systems Distributed Information Systems Formal Theories of Context Heterogeneous Information Integration Human-Computer Interaction Information Management Intelligent Tutoring Systems Intelligent/Semantic Web Systems Interagent Communication Knowledge Engineering and Management Knowledge Representation Machine Learning Multiagent Systems Natural Language Processing Neuroscience and context Organizational Theory and Design Philosophical Foundations SUBMISSION OF PAPERS Since CONTEXT'03 will be an interdisciplinary forum, all submissions, in addition to being evaluated for their technical merit, will be evaluated for their accessibility to an interdisciplinary audience. Works that transcend disciplinary boundaries are especially encouraged. Papers will be accepted either for oral presentation or for presentation at a poster session. Each submission will be evaluated by three referees. Complete formatting requirements and detailed instructions for authors can be found on the conference Web page. Note that papers cannot be longer than 14 pages. Papers must be submitted electronically--no hardcopy submissions will be accepted without prior approval from the Program Co-Chairs well in advance of the submission deadline. LaTeX and Word templates are available at the conference Web page. Papers must be in PDF format. See the conference Web page for instructions on converting to this format from Word, LaTeX, etc. Submitted papers should be received by the Program Co-Chairs no later than January 27, 2003. The conference Web page contains instructions for submitting papers electronically.

Postdoctoral Positions in Experimental and Theoretical Cortical Neurophysiology - Paris I am looking to fill two postdoctoral positions, one experimental and one theoretical, for a project aimed at characterizing the functional impact of stochastic mechanisms in cortical physiology, funded by HFSP. The experimental position will focus on in-vivo whole cell patch recordings in the cat and rat, including the development of several novel protocols and methods. The theoretical position will focus on developing both analytical methods for the analysis of the stochastic component of evoked and background activity from intracellular recordings, as well as biophysically-detailed models of neurons and networks. Experience required. Interested candidates may send their c.v. and two letters of recommendation to Dr. Lyle J. Graham, Neurophysique et Physiologie du Systeme Moteur, CNRS, Universite Rene Descartes, 45 rue des Saint-Peres 75270 Paris Cedex 06, France. Informal inquiries also welcome at lyle(a)cogni.iaf.cnrs-gif.fr For those planning to attend the NIPS Workshops at Whistler (Dec 12-14) you can arrange to meet me there.
