Dear Dr. Qwerty:
We are writing you to announce that BBS has just accepted an article for open peer commentary in BBS. The article was already reviewed, and we are now accepting commentary proposals. If you are interested in writing a commentary, you are welcome to submit a short proposal (see instructions below). No action is required if you aren't interested.
Please DO NOT submit a full commentary article unless you are formally invited---AFTER you submit a commentary *proposal*. We will review all commentary proposals and issue invitations around the end of April. Also, please be aware that we typically receive far more commentary proposals than we can accommodate with formal invitations. When choosing invitations, we balance over multiple factors, including the interest of the commentary itself, the commentator's expertise, whether the commentator's work has been discussed in the target article, and other considerations.
NOW PROCESSING COMMENTARY PROPOSALS ON:
Target Article: Toward a second-person neuroscience
Authors: Leonhard Schilbach, Bert Timmermans, Vasudevi Reddy, Alan Costall, Gary Bente, Tobias Schlicht, and Kai Vogeley
Deadline for Commentary Proposals: April 3, 2012
Abstract: In spite of the remarkable progress made in the burgeoning field of social neuroscience, the neural mechanisms that underlie social encounters are only beginning to be studied and could ?paradoxically? be seen as representing the 'dark matter' of social neuroscience. Recent conceptual and empirical developments consistently indicate the need for investigations, which allow the study of real-time social encounters in a truly interactive manner. This suggestion is based on the premise that social cognition is fundamentally different when we are in interaction with others rather than merely observing them. In this article, we outline the theoretical conception of a second-person approach to other minds and review evidence from neuroimaging, psychophysiological studies and related fields to argue for the development of a second-person neuroscience, which will help neuroscience to really go social; this may also be relevant for our understanding of psychiatric disorders
construed as disorders of social cognition.
Keywords: mentalizing network; mirror neuron system; social cognition from an interactor's point of view; social cognition from an observer's point of view; 'problem' of other minds; second-person neuroscience

1. What aspect of the target article or book you would anticipate commenting on.
2. The relevant expertise you would bring to bear on the target article or book.
Please include names and affiliations of your co-authors, if applicable, in the text of your commentary proposal.

`Human Nature and the Transcendent`
Tuesday, 13 March, 2012, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412
ABSTRACT
This paper starts from the familiar Augustinian and Pascalian thought
that human beings have “transcendent” urges — they have a certain
resistance to resting content with existence defined within a given set
of parameters, and have a hunger to glimpse a deeper reality than is
disclosed in our ordinary mundane experience of the world. I look at
three aspects of the apparent human reaching after the transcendent,
namely the cosmological, the aesthetic, and the moral. Cosmologically,
we recoil from the idea of brute facticity — the idea that the cosmos is
in Bertrand Russell’s words. “just there”. Aesthetically, in
Wordsworthian moments of rapture at the beauty of the natural world, and
morally, in our recognition of the normativity of values that command
our allegiance whether we like it or not, we seem to glimpse an enduring
objective reality that transcends the flux of contingency. The general
thrust of my argument will be that the demands of integrity, being
sincere and true to the character of our own lived human experience,
require us to reject deflationary or reductionist strategies for
explaining away our transcendent urges; and as a result, that the field
is very considerably narrowed, when it comes to understanding their
significance.

A nyelvészetben nem találhatunk uralkodó paradigmát. A különböző iskolák
szeretik összevetni magukat, és felhívni a figyelmet riválisaik
hiányosságaira. Az előadáson Norvig Chomsky statisztikai tanuláselméletet
kritizáló megjegyzéseire íródott esszéje nyomán megvizsgáljuk a nyelvi
adatok szerepét az adatvezérelt módszerekben. Ez a megközelítés felveti a
mintavételezés problémáját, ti. miképp lehetséges egy potenciálisan
végtelen rendszert, a nyelvet, véges minta alapján leírni. Míg a generatív
iskola egyszerűen kikerüli ezt, az "empirikus" irányzatok számára ez
központi kérdés. Shannon információelméleti modellje az ergodikus forrás
fogalmával úgy tűnik megnyugtató választ ad nekünk, és megnyitja az utat az
algoritmikus statisztikai modellezés felé. A zajos csatorna elemzésén
keresztül bemutatjuk hogy az igazi választóvonal nem a választott
vizsgálati módszerekben (szabály alapú vs. statisztikai) rejlik, hanem
abban, mennyire veszi figyelembe egy modell a nyelv társas jellegét.
