A Kelet-Nyugat Kutatóintézet 2010. május 9-én 15 órától rendezi meg
következő házikonferenciáját A Tan Kapuja Buddhista Főiskolán *A középút és
a tudat filozófiája* címmel.
Előadások:

A Second-Person Approach to Other Minds: Preliminary Evidence from
Functional Neuroimaging

Starting from the distinction between adopting a first- as compared to a
third-person perspective of others' mental states, this presentation will
attempt to
argue for a second-person approach to understanding other minds. This
approach is
based on the idea that social cognition is fundamentally different when we
are
actively engaged with another person ('online' social cognition) as
compared to
being a mere observer of others. Furthermore the second-person account
suggests to
take the reciprocity of social interactions seriously by focusing on the
different
roles interactors play when initiating or responding to each others' actions.
Subsequently, results of two sets of studies are presented which were
based upon the
above mentioned theoretical considerations. The first set of studies was
realized to
assess the neurobiological correlates (fMRI, EMG, eyetracking) of the
perception of
socially relevant facial expressions depending upon whether or not they were
directed towards the human observer (as opposed to someone else; Schilbach
et al.
2006, Mojzisch et al. 2006, Schilbach et al. 2008). A second paradigm was
devised to
investigate the neural correlates of joint attention in online
interaction. To this
end a novel fMRI-compatible eyetracking setup was devised which allows
participants
to interact with an anthropomorphic virtual character. Here, a crucial
experimental
manipulation consisted in varying whether participants initiated joint
attention
themselves or responded to someone else's gaze shifts (Wilms et al. in press;
Schilbach et al. in press).
Results of these studies highlight differential effects on neural
processing both
related to self-involvement and to the reciprocal nature of social
interaction
consistent with the idea of these being important constituents of social
cognition.
On a more speculative note, these results may be seen as preliminary
evidence in
support of the notion of a second-person approach to other minds which
could help to
further our understanding of the neurobiology of social cognition and may
help to
bridge recent findings in the burgeoning field of social neuroscience.
Hope this works for you!
