[Koglist] PhD studentships in Cognitive Science at CEU, Budapest

by Gergely Csibra

Applications are invited for PhD studentships at the Department of Cognitive Science at Central European University (CEU), Budapest, Hungary. This is a research-based training program in human cognition with social cognition and learning as core themes. Research topics include cooperation, communication, social learning, cultural transmission, embodied cognition, joint action, cognitive development, strategic decision-making, problem solving, visual cognition, sensory and statistical learning, visual psychophysics, computational neuroscience, and social cognitive neuroscience. Students will follow courses in cognitive psychology, philosophy of mind, cognitive anthropology, computational cognition and linguistics, and will receive practical research training in the laboratories of the members of this new department. Faculty includes Gergely CSIBRA (cognitive development, cognitive neuroscience) József FISER (visual perception and cognition, biological and statistical learning) György GERGELY (infant cognition, developmental psychopathology) Christophe HEINTZ (culture and cognition, scientific cognition, behavioral economics) Günther KNOBLICH (embodied cognition and social cognition, problem solving) Ágnes M. KOVÁCS (development of social cognition, theory of mind, mental representations) Máté LENGYEL (computational neuroscience, learning and memory) Natalie SEBANZ (social cognition, social cognitive neuroscience) Dan SPERBER (culture and cognition, communication and language, evolution) Ernő TÉGLÁS (cognitive development, reasoning) Applicants are expected to hold an internationally recognized Master’s or comparable degree in the standard disciplines that constitute cognitive science. A comparable degree in other Social Sciences, Humanities, or other disciplines will also be considered in case of an excellent academic record. We will consider the applications of exceptional students who only hold a Bachelor degree, provided it is in a discipline closely associated to cognitive science.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] : REMINDER: Collouium, November 17, Stefanie Höhl (University of Heidelberg)

by Frances Buttelmann

Dear All, This is a reminder that the next talk in the CEU Cognitive Science seminar series will by given by: Stefanie Höhl (University of Heidelberg) Date: Please note that it will be on TUESDAY, November 17, 2015, 17.00-18.30 Title: Effects of eye contact and gaze on infants' looking, learning and brain activity Abstract: Soon after birth infants are very interested in faces and seem to pay particular attention to eyes. Why is that? In a series of eye tracking and EEG studies we have explored how infants perceive other persons’ eye gaze and how this affects their own brain activity, looking behavior and their learning about novel objects. We discovered that 4-month-old infants recognize objects that were previously cued by another person’s eye gaze and/or head direction. This is true even if only schematic eyes are presented as cues, but not when the objects are cued by non-social dynamic stimuli or contrast-reversed schematic eyes. We also explored infants’ brain activities in response to object-directed and non-object-directed eye gaze across the first year of life and discovered substantial age-related differences. Furthermore, we tested how infants react to eye contact in a live joint attention interaction and found very similar activations in 9-month-olds as in adults. The studies will be discussed in the broader context of infant social cognitive development and learning. Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101. We are looking forward to see you there!
