cordially invites you to its talk by
Cristina Becchio (Department of Robotics, Brain and Cognitive Sciences,
Italian Institute of Technology, Genova, and Department of Psychology,
University of Torino)
Date: Wednesday, January 27, 2016 at 17:00-18:30
Host: Günther Knoblich
Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7,
room 101.
Title: Who is afraid of intentions?
Abstract: Is it possible to perceive directly others’ mental states?
Are mental states such as intentions visible in others’ behavior?
Whereas abstract theoretical efforts have failed to resolve this debate,
my aim in this discussion is to propose an empirically anchored approach
to the problem. I will first briefly review the nature and strength of
the empirical evidence for and against the observability of intentions
and identify some of the pitfalls that might account for apparent
contradictory findings. Then, drawing on recent and decisive studies, I
will delineate an experimental strategy to overcome these pitfalls and
provide a quantitative characterization of the ability to perceive
intentions. I shall conclude by proposing an alternative conception of
direct social perception founded on a definable and measurable
relationship between the specific features of an observed behavior and
the ability to read out mental states.
We are looking forward to see you at the talk!

Against the Division of Advisory Labour: The Case of Mitochondrial Donation
Tuesday, 26 January 2016, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412
ABSTRACT
In 2015, the UK became the first country in the world to make legal a set of 'mitochondrial donation' techniques. These new reproductive technologies have the potential to enable women with diseases that are normally inherited via the mitochondrial genome to have children with healthy mitochondria. The extensive deliberations that preceded the legalization of these techniques involved a form of division of advisory labour that is common when new technologies are introduced. Groups like the Nuffield Council on Bioethics focused on the ethics of mitochondrial donation, while scientific issues were instead given over to more specialised groups of technical advisors. I use the case of mitochondrial donation to argue against the possibility of any strict separation of scientific and ethical evaluation, and also to argue that efforts to divide labour in these ways threaten to obscure important controversies around new technologies. I close by showing how these worries relate to more general philosophical issues around the 'value-ladenness' of science.
