[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Reminder: CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium: October 26, Wednesday: David Burr (University of Florence, Italy) - Positive and negative serial-dependencies in face perception

by Gyorgyne Finta

REMINDER: The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk as part of the Departmental Colloquium series by David Burr<http://www.pisavisionlab.org/index.php/people/faculty/burr> Department of Neuroscience, University of Florence, Italy Date: Wednesday, October 26, 2016 - 17:00-18:30 Host: Jozsef Fiser Positive and negative serial-dependencies in face perception Perception is driven not only by the stimuli currently impinging on our senses, but also depends on the immediate past history. I will talk about these serial dependencies, showing how they are the product of efficient mechanisms exploiting temporal redundancies in natural scenes, and may be critical for understanding perception. Serial dependencies can be negative - such as visual aftereffects - where viewing motion in one direction causes stationary stimuli to appear to move in the other; or they can be positive - such as "priming" - where viewing a stimulus distorts subsequent stimuli in the same direction. Many factors influence whether the dependencies are positive or negative, including the strength and salience of the priming stimulus. However, if the serial dependencies reflect efficient processing, they should also depend on the attribute being tested. Negative aftereffects optimize sensitivity to change, while positive serial dependencies integrate successive image views, improving signal-to-noise ratios. On this logic, positive dependencies should occur for stable attributes - such as identity and gender - and negative dependencies for changeable attributes - such as expression. Indeed, when we asked subjects to judge both the expression and gender of a sequence of faces, we found strong and consistent positive serial dependencies for gender, but negative serial dependency for expression. These results show that both positive and negative serial dependencies can operate at the same time, on the same stimuli, depending on the attribute being judged, pointing to very flexible and sophisticated optimization of past information. The results were well modelled by a Kalman filter type model, showing that the strategies led to improvement in efficiencies.

Tisztelt Kollégák! Ezúton szeretném meghívni Önöket az MTA TTK Agyi Képalkotó Központ szervezésében megrendezésre kerülő következő előadásra, amelyet dr. Szűcs Dénes (Department of Psychology, University of Cambridge, UK) fog tartani "Empirical assessment of published effect sizes and power in the recent cognitive neuroscience and psychology literature" címmel. Az előadás időpontja: 2016. október 21. (péntek) 15:00 óra Az előadás helyszíne: MTA TTK földszinti kis konferenciaterme (1117 Budapest, Magyar tudósok körútja 2.) Sok szeretettel várunk mindenkit, a meghívót nyugodtan továbbítsák minden potenciális érdeklődőnek. Részvételi szándékukat, kérem, jelezzék az a következő e-mail címen: weiss.bela(a)ttk.mta.hu Tisztelettel, Weiss Béla MTA TTK Agyi Képalkotó Központ Empirical assessment of published effect sizes and power in the recent cognitive neuroscience and psychology literature Denes Szucs*1, John PA Ioannidis2 1) Department of Psychology, University of Cambridge, UK 2) Meta-Research Innovation Center at Stanford (METRICS) and Department of Medicine, Department of Health Research and Policy, and Department of Statistics, Stanford University, Stanford, USA * Correspondence: Denes Szucs; ds377(a)cam.ac.uk Abstract: We have empirically assessed the distribution of published effect sizes and estimated power by extracting more than 100,000 statistical records from about 10,000 cognitive neuroscience and psychology papers published during the past 5 years. The reported median effect size was d=0.93 (inter-quartile range: 0.64-1.46) for nominally statistically significant results and d=0.24 (0.11-0.42) for non-significant results. Median power to detect small, medium and large effects was 0.12, 0.44 and 0.73, reflecting no improvement through the past half-century. Power was lowest for cognitive neuroscience journals. 14% of papers reported some statistically significant results, although the respective F statistic and degrees of freedom proved that these were non-significant; p value errors positively correlated with journal impact factors. False report probability is likely to exceed 50% for the whole literature. In light of our findings the recently reported low replication success in psychology is realistic and worse performance may be expected for cognitive neuroscience.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Reminder: CogSci CEU Colloquium: October 19, Peter Keller (Western Sydney University)

by Andrea Jenei

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science and the Social Mind Center cordially invites you to its talk by Peter Keller <http://www.westernsydney.edu.au/marcs/our_team/researchers/professor_peter_…> (The MARCS Institute for Brain, Behaviour and Development, Western Sydney University; currently Visiting Professor at the Department of Cognitive Science, CEU Budapest). Date: Wednesday, October 19, 2016 - 17:00-18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 St. 7, room 101 Representing self and other during musical joint action Musical ensemble performance is a sophisticated form of joint action that showcases the remarkable human capacity for precise interpersonal coordination. Such coordination requires some degree of self-other merging while maintaining the distinction between self and other. Integration of information related to one's own and others' actions assists in representing shared goals and evaluating joint outcomes. At the same time, segregation between the effects of actions produced by self and others facilitates agency attribution and autonomous movement control. In this talk, I will present research addressing how self-other integration and segregation are balanced in the auditory domain during musical joint action. I will report findings from sensorimotor synchronization experiments employing controlled laboratory paradigms and naturalistic musical tasks, as well as related computational modelling work and neuroimaging studies. Results suggest that achieving optimal balance between self-other integration and segregation requires finely tuned internal models of self, other, and joint action outcomes. We are looking forward to see you at the talk!
