The format of the conference will consist of 3 renounced keynote speakers, 27 slots for symposia and other oral presentations and 2 poster sessions. The conference will be a platform for exchanging the latest insights and results from the broad field of cognitive and affective neuroscience. Contributions are expected to include as diverse subjects as consciousness, via vision and cognitive processes, their development and brain-machine-interfaces, to affective neuroscience and its clinical applications. Prof Lopes da Silva, Prof Rubia and Prof Belin will address the audience as keynote speakers. We cordially invite you to register for this conference and submit your abstracts for symposia, oral and poster presentations at www.escan2012.eu <http://www.escan2012.eu>. Deadlines for submitting abstracts and early registration are December 31, 2011 and February 29, 2012, respectively.

[koglist] [CDC Seminars] ANNOUNCEMENT: CDC Seminar, Szilvia Bíró, Wednesday, October 19th, 5 PM

by Marian Chen

The next talk in the CDC Seminar series will be given by: Szilvia Bíró, University of Leiden Date: Wednesday, October 19, 2011, 5 PM Location: Cognitive Development Center at CEU, Hattyú u. 14, 3rd floor PLEASE NOTE: Our seminar room has a limited capacity. Please try to arrive early to ensure you get a seat! The talk will begin promptly at 5. The primacy of means selection over outcome selection information in infants' goal attribution Abstract: To interpret an observed action as goal-directed one can make use of two types of information in a given situation. One type of information consists of the observation that, to achieve the goal, the actor adjusts the action to the situational constraints ("means selection"). The other type of information is the availability of alternative outcomes and the expression of a preference for a particular outcome by the actor's action ("outcome selection"). I will talk about three studies in which we investigated the relationship between the two types of information in infants' goal attribution. The first study showed that ambiguous means selection information prevents infants from relying on unambiguous outcome selection information to interpret an action as goal-directed. The second study demonstrated that infants can transfer their goal-directed action interpretation from a situation that contains only means selection information to a situation in which outcome selection information becomes available. The third study indicated that infants' anticipatory looking toward the outcome of an action is influenced by the ambiguity of means selection information. Together, these studies suggest that means selection information takes primacy over outcome selection information in infants' interpretation of actions.

[koglist] 3rd call -- 4th UK Cognitive Linguistics conference -- London 2012

by Vyv Evans

3rd CALL FOR PAPERS 4th UK COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS CONFERENCE – LONDON 2012 The 4th UK Cognitive Linguistics Conference (UK-CLC4) will take place 10-12 July 2012 at King’s College London, London, UK. Confirmed keynote speakers: Professor Stephen Levinson (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics) Professor George Lakoff (University of California - Berkeley) Professor Gilles Fauconnier (University of California - San Diego) Professor Elena Lieven (Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology) Professor Martin Pickering (University of Edinburgh) Professor Lawrence Barsalou (Emory University) We invite the submission of abstracts (for paper or poster presentations) addressing all aspects of Cognitive Linguistics. These include, but are by no means limited to: Domains and frame semantics Categorisation, prototypes and polysemy Metaphor and metonymy Mental spaces and conceptual blending Cognitive and construction grammar Embodiment and linguistic relativity Language acquisition and language impairment Language evolution and language change Language use Cognitive Linguistics is an inherently interdisciplinary enterprise which is broadly concerned with the connection between language and cognition in relation to body, culture and contexts of use. We therefore invite interdisciplinary research that combines theories and methods from across the cognitive, biological and social sciences. These include, but are not limited to: Linguistics Psycholinguistics Anthropology Evolution Paleoanthropology Primatology Neuroscience Cognitive and developmental psychology Discourse and Communication studies Talks will be allocated 20 minutes, plus 10 minutes for question. Posters will stay up for a day and be allocated to dedicated, timetabled sessions. The language of the conference is English. Abstracts of no more than 300 words (excluding references) should be submitted online at www.cognitivelinguistics.org.uk/submission/ All abstracts will be subject to double-blind peer review by an international Scientific Committee. The deadline for abstract submission is 15 December, 2011. Notification of acceptance decisions will be communicated by 15 February 2012. For further information, please visit the conference website at www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/sspp/education/events/ukclc4 or contact the Local Organising Committee at uk-clc4(a)kcl.ac.uk Registration fees are as follows and cover participation, conference materials, and lunch/refreshments for three days: Early registration (faculty): £220 Early registration (student): £170 Late registration (faculty): £270 Late registration (student): £220 Registration periods are as follows: Early registration: until 1 March 2012 Late registration: 2 March - 1 May 2012 Please check with the UK Border Agency whether you need a visa and how to obtain one if necessary.

[koglist] Meghívó - BME Kognitív Szemináriumsorozat / Invitation - BME Cognitive Seminar Series

by Attila Keresztes

We cordially invite you to the next lecture of the BME cognitive seminar series: Attention! We moved to a new location. Date & Time: October 24, Monday, 12:00-13:00 Location: BME, XI., Egry József utca 1., T. ép 515. * Ready to experience: Binocular function is turned on earlier in preterm infants Ilona Kovács* Department of Cognitive Science Budapest University of Technology and Economics http://cogsci.bme.hu/~ikovacs/ Abstract The cerebral cortex of the human brain is remarkably prone to environmental input early in life; however, the precise contribution of experience in the development of cortical functions is unresolved. Employing a visual evoked potential paradigm, we ask whether the extra postnatal visual experience in preterm human neonates leads to a change in the developmental timing of binocular vision. The results suggest that the developmental processes preceding the onset of binocular function are not preprogrammed, and that the mechanisms turning on stereopsis are experience-dependent. This finding opens up a number of further queries with respect to human-specific cortical plasticity. -- Attila Keresztes Junior Research Fellow Budapest University of Technology and Economics Dept. of Cognitive Science, Egry József u. 1, Budapest 1111, Hungary Tel: +36 1 4633525
