[Koglist] invitation to a talk on`Feeling yourself - Depersonalization disorder and self awareness`- Tuesday, 14 October, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Philip Gerrans (University of Adelaide) on `Feeling yourself - Depersonalization disorder and self awareness` Tuesday, 14 October 2014, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT I use evidence from psychiatric disorders involving the experience of depersonalisation to decompose the causal and cognitive structure of experiences reported as self-awareness. I combine insights from predictive coding theory and the appraisal theory of emotion to explain the association between hypoactivity in the Anterior Insula Cortex and depersonalization. This resolves a puzzle for some theories raised by the fact that reduced affective response in depersonalization is associated with normal interoception and activity in Posterior Insula Cortex. It also elegantly accounts for the role of anxiety in depersonalisation via the role of attention in predictive coding theories. I consider whether and how this type of explanation is relevant to philosophical theories of the nature of self-awareness. Craig, A. D. (2009).

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER: Attila Krajcsi (ELTE), Wednesday, October 8, 5PM, Department of Cognitive Science

by Dora Kampis

Dear all, The next talk in the CEU Cognitive Science seminar series will by given by: Attila Krajcsi (Department of Cognitive Psychology, ELTE). Date: Wednesday, October 8, 2014, 5 PM Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Frankel Leó út 30-34., Room G15 Title: A new framework for understanding numbers Current models of number understanding highlight the role of the analogue magnitude system (AMS), a noisy system that enables both humans and animals to understand values. Additional systems extend the AMS to support exact number processing. In contrast, we propose an alternative framework for numerical cognition. (a) Number understanding is rooted in an object-based conceptual representation of natural numbers. (b) Discrete semantic system (DSS) is utilized to store and process exact values. Most of the numerical effects attributed to the AMS are actually caused by the DSS. (c) The meaning of the potentially abstract DSS originally can be found in the object-based conceptual understanding. Later the abstract layer can be anchored to additional domains (e.g., route, plane, AMS, etc.) to extend the meaning of numbers. This framework also suggests that preschoolers might understand exact numerosity before they understand specific values, and preschoolers might be able to understand counting earlier than they usually understand it. Several studies will be presented to support this alternative view. PLEASE NOTE: Our seminar room has a limited capacity. Please arrive early to ensure you get a seat. The talk will begin promptly at 5.
