*Előadás a BME Kognitív Tudományi Központ*
*házi kollokvium sorozata keretében:*
*Előadó: Zsóri Adrienn, *Magdeburgi Egyetem, Németország
*Cím:* Temporal dynamics of visual processing during binocular rivalry
* *
During binocular rivalry different images simultaneously presented to
both eyes compete for perceptual dominance. The result of this competition
is an unstable, changing percept that offers a unique opportunity to
investigate the neural correlates during conscious and unconscious
perception. In a combined MEG/EEG-study subjects were presented with a
squared aperture in which 100 red dots moved coherently to the left while
other 100 blue dots moved rightwards thereby defining two transparent
surfaces. The subjects viewed the stimuli through red-blue glasses
guaranteeing that each transparent surface was seen by a different eye and
were instructed to press a button to indicate which percept (left or right
moving surface) was dominant. Small vertical translations of the dots
served as a probe and randomly occurred in either the leftwards or the
rightwards moving surface. The event-related electric (ERP) and magnetic
(ERF) responses to the probes on each surface were compared as a function
of whether the surface on which the probe occurred was the dominant
percept or not. This made it possible to compare ERP and ERF responses
elicited by exactly the same physical stimulus in two different states of
awareness. This comparison revealed a significant difference in the
electrophysiological responses starting at 110 ms post-stimulus.
Source analysis of this difference indicated that the earliest sources
were located in the medial superior occipital cortex. At 130 ms estimates
of activity could also be observed in the primary visual cortex around the
occipital pole. Importantly, the source strength of the superior medial
occipital cortex was higher during unconscious than during conscious
perception. This temporal pattern of activation is consistent with the
idea of top-down control of the primary visual cortex by higher order
extrastriate regions. The higher strength of the superior medial occipital
sources during unconscious perception suggests that the top-down is of
inhibitory nature.

a Kisérletes nyelvészet programban, október 13-án, csütörtökön, 14
órától Szalai Andrea tart előadást a földszinti előadóban.
Az előadás cime:
Diskurzus-pozíciók a romaniban
Az alábbiakban olvasható az előadás absztraktja. Minden érdeklődőt
szeretettel várunk!
Üdvözlettel,

Szalai Andrea:
Diskurzus-pozíciók a romaniban
Az előadás kapcsolódik a múlt félévihez, amely egy kulturális
kontextushoz kötött társalgási stratégia, az eskühasználat szerepét
vizsgálta a romaniban. A vizsgált roma közösség nyelvi gyakorlatában
az eskü a diskurzus tartalmához és a részvevőkhöz való viszony
kifejezésére, újradefiniálására egyaránt szolgáló, diskurzus-
pozíciókat alakító (Eckert-McConnel-Ginet 2003) eszköz.
A mostani előadásban a nyelvi ideológiák vizsgálatával kapcsolatos
újabb antropológiai nyelvészeti szakirodalom eredményeit felhasználva
az eskük illokúció-módosító, erősítő ("upgrader")
potenciáljával kapcsolatos metapragmatikai ideológia elemzésére
teszek kísérletet. Bemutatom, hogy a referensválasztás (pl. Masc.
referens vs. Fem. referens) és az adott esküformához társított
pragmatikai érték (pl. erősebb vs. gyengébb intenzitás) közötti
indexikus kapcsolat indirekt, társadalmilag konstruált, ideológia
által közvetített reláció. Ezt a módosító módosításáról szóló,
genderizáló ideológiát a konkrét nyelvi gyakorlattal, az
eskühasználattal összehasonlítva arra is figyelmet fordítok, amit az
ideológia elfed. Így láthatóvá válik az ideológia-alkotás mint
társadalmi-szemiotikai folyamat dinamikája, amelyet Irvine és Gal
(2000) nyelvi ideológiákat elemző modellje az ikonizáció, a
rekurzivitás és a törlés jelenségével jellemez.

"Williams, Nietzsche,and the Meaninglessness of Immortality"
Friday, 21 October, 5.00 PM, Zrinyi 14, room 412
Abstract:
In this paper I consider some of the arguments that Bernard Williams
advances in "The Makropolus Case" for the meaninglessness of
immortality, and defend them against various counter-arguments. I then
turn to Nietzsche, whose views about the eternal return might appear to
make him an opponent of Williams. I argue that, properly interpreted,
these views in fact make him an ally.

'Are wholes the sums of their parts?'
Tuesday, 11 October 2005 5.00 PM, Zrinyi 14, room 412
Abstract
Many philosophers accept a principle of unrestricted mereological
composition. This says that any number of entities of any kind
constitute another entity, which is the mereological sum of them. This
principle implies in particular that there is a mereological sum of the
material parts of any material object, with which that object is then
commonly identified. I argue that the problems that the vagueness of
the part-whole relation raises for this identification means that we
should not only reject it but deny that there is any such entity as the
sum of a material object's parts
