Title:
The interplay between decisions and percepts
Abstract:
Perceptual decision-making is the process of translating sensory
signals into categorical decisions. Computational and neural models
typically dissociate between the encoding of sensory information in
sensory circuits and the temporal integration of these signals into a
decision variable in decision areas.
In my talk, I will question the validity of this separation. I will
present neurophysiological and neuroimaging data that show how biases in
decision-making propagate to sensory circuits, and how biases in sensory
circuits are driving decisions. These data are best captured by
conceptualizing perceptual decision-making as a process of probabilistic
inference in reciprocally connected sensory and integration circuits.

Meghívó
Az MTA Nyelvtudományi Intézete meghívja Önt a Magyar Tudomány Ünnepe 2015
"Kutatóhelyek tárt kapukkal" programsorozat keretei között szervezett
rendezvényére
Digitális és kísérletes nyelvészet testközelből
2015. november 26. 14-17 óra
Helyszín:
MTA Nyelvtudományi Intézet
1068 Budapest, Benczúr u. 33.
14.00
Kísér(l/t)etes nyelvészet
szervező: Lendület Kvantorhatókör Kutatócsoport
Miért kísérletezik a nyelvész? Lehet egyáltalán a nyelv(tan) kísérlet
tárgya? Beleláthatnak a nyelvészek az emberek fejébe? Mindez kísértetiesen
hangzik? Ezekre a kérdésekre kíván választ adni a lehető leginteraktívabb
módon az Elméleti Nyelvészeti Osztály Kísér(l/t)etes nyelvészet című
ismeretterjesztő előadása. A nyelvtudomány e területének bemutatásán túl,
a bátrabbak alávethetik magukat a nyelvi kísérletezésnek, míg a
szemlélődők betekinthetnek a kutatócsoportok működésébe.
15.00
Boszorkányos kérdések, számítógépes válaszok
szervező: Nyelvtörténeti Kutatócsoport
Mire jó egy nyelvtörténeti adatbázis? Megértené-e Ön Nádasdy Tamás és
Zrínyi Miklós, vagy éppen Jóczik Mihályné és Hampó Örzse nyelvhasználatát?
Jöjjön el, és tegye magát próbára!
16.00
Gépesített helyesírási tanácsadás
szervező: Nyelvtechnológiai és Alkalmazott Nyelvészeti Osztály
Vajon ki a jobb helyesíró: Ön vagy a számítógép? Milyen változások vannak
az új helyesírási szabályzatban, és vajon mennyire naprakészek a
számítógépes helyesírás-ellenőrzők? Most felmérheti tudását, és egyúttal
betekinthet az MTA online helyesírási tanácsadó portáljának működésébe.
Mindenkit szeretettel várunk!

Tisztelt Kollégák!
Az IBRO Workshop Budapest 2016 holnap lejáró kedvezményes regisztrációs
határidejével illetve a december 15-ig meghosszabbított absztrakt leadási
határidővel kapcsolatban többekben merült fel kérdés, ezzel kapcsolatban
írok most. A regisztrációs felület lehetőséget ad arra, hogy a feltöltött
poszter absztraktot később módosítani lehessen, az absztrakt mellett
megjelenő Modify gombra kattintva tehető ez meg. Így az absztrakt
módosítható a december 15-i absztrakt leadási határidőig. Ha bármilyen
kérdésük, problémájuk lenne a regisztráció menetével kapcsolatban, kérem,
keressék a konferenciát szervező és a regisztrációs felületet működtető
irodát, a Weco Travelt az ibro(a)wecotravel.hu e-mail címen.
Tisztelettel,
Horváth Domonkos
Dear Colleagues,
I am writing about the many questions received about the early registration
deadline on November 20 (tomorrow) and the abstract submission deadline on
December 15 for the IBRO Workshop Budapest 2016. The registration system
provides registrants with the possibility to modify the uploaded abstract
with pressing the "Modify" button appearing on the abstract page after
uploading. This possibility will be available until the abstract submission
deadline, December 15. Should you have further questions about the
registration procedure, please contact the organizing office, Weco Travel,
on the following e-mail address: ibro(a)wecotravel.hu

on
The Unity of Reasons
Monday, 23 November!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2015, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412
ABSTRACT
What are reasons? Davidson claims that reasons consist of mental states or dispositions; Kenny claims that goals are reasons; Dancy claims that grounds (whether true or false) are reasons; Raz claims that a reason is a fact. Which of these views, if any, is correct? Are there different kinds of reasons, e.g. explanatory reasons, motivating reasons, normative reasons, etc.? Can intentional acts be defined in terms of reasons? Anscombe writes: "What distinguishes actions which are intentional from those which are not? The answer that I shall suggest is that they are the actions to which a certain sense of the question ‘Why?’ is given application; the sense is of course that in which the answer, if positive, gives a reason for acting.” (Intention, §5) Raz writes: “The central type of human action is intentional action [...] intentional action is action for a reason.” (Engaging Reason, p.22) Are these views right?
