[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium: April 5, Wednesday: Vaughn Becker - Coevolutionary Psychology and the Embodied Social Brain

by Andrea Jenei

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science and the Social Mind Center cordially invites you to its talk by Vaughn Becker<http://www.public.asu.edu/~loids/> (Arizona State University) Date: Wednesday, April 5, 2017 - 17:00-18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 St. 7, room 101 Coevolutionary Psychology and the Embodied Social Brain: A Functionalist Approach to Social Signal Detection "My research explores how social and emotional signals are detected and remembered, applying classic methods of cognitive science to real-world content and scenarios. I begin with the assumption that humans share a suite of fundamental Motivational and Emotional Systems (MES), designed to learn to pick up information about threats and opportunities relevant to our basic social goals. Experiments on threat detection illustrate both the biasing and sensitizing effects of such MES, including limits to threat-detection imposed by bottom-up properties of the signal. Related work on attention and memory suggest that even transitory activations of MES can enhance information pick-up in measurable ways. At a more theoretical level, these results suggest that dynamic internal simulations underlie both perception and action, providing a shared workspace in which MES maintain vigilance for goal-relevant stimuli and interact with one another when multiple conflicting goals arise. The central tendencies of these systems are like Jung's Archetypes, representational proclivities that span the gap between proximate online embodiment and ancient drives, grounding the symbolic and propositional models of traditional cognitive science. My research program is now seeking international collaborations in an effort to generalize our sense of how social signal detection works in the real world. Such cross-cultural work has the potential to uncover universal principles of emotion-cognition interactions lurking beneath culturally variable but functionally equivalent content." We are looking forward to see you at the talk!

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Reminder: CogSci CEU CDC seminar: Tuesday, March 21st - Renee Baillargeon

by Katarina Begus

Dear All, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science gently reminds about its tomorrow's talk by: *Renee Baillargeon (University of Illinois)* *Date: *Tuesday, March 21st, 2017 – 17:00-18:30 *Host:* Gergely Csibra *Infants’ Moral Compass* How do infants evaluate individuals’ actions toward others? I will suggest that the moral sensitivities that underlie these early evaluations are best characterized as a moral compass, with distinct sociomoral principles leading infants to form nuanced expectations about what actions are acceptable or unacceptable in specific contexts. My talk will focus on two principles in particular, fairness and ingroup support. With respect to fairness, I will present evidence that even young infants possess an abstract notion of equity. Next, I will present experiments on two corollaries of the principle of ingroup support, ingroup care and ingroup loyalty. These experiments indicate that when watching interactions among unfamiliar adults in minimal groups, infants hold different expectations for interactions within and between groups, in line with prior research with older children and adults on ingroup favoritism in minimal groups. *Location: *Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101.

[Koglist] Lengyel Máté előadása: 2017.03.28. (kedd) 17 órától, MTA TTK

by Weiss Béla

Tisztelt Kollégák! Ezúton szeretném meghívni Önöket az MTA TTK Agyi Képalkotó Központ által szervezett következő előadásra, amelyet Lengyel Máté (Cambridge University, CEU) fog tartani "A Bayesian approach to internal models / Mentális modellek Bayes-i megközelítésben" címmel. Az előadás időpontja: 2017. március 28. (kedd) 17:00 óra Az előadás helyszíne: MTA TTK földszinti kis konferenciaterme (1117 Budapest, Magyar tudósok körútja 2.) Szeretettel várunk minden érdeklődőt. Üdvözlettel, Weiss Béla MTA TTK Agyi Képalkotó Központ Abstract: Our percepts rely on an internal model of the environment, relating physical processes of the world to inputs received by our senses, and thus their veracity critically hinges upon how well this internal model is adapted to the statistical properties of the environment. We used a combination of Bayesian inference-based theory and novel data analysis techniques applied to a range of human behavioural experiments to reveal the principles by which complex internal models (1) are acquired through experience, (2) can be shown to be task-independent, and (3) generalise across very different response modalities. CV: Máté Lengyel is a Reader in Computational Neuroscience at the Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge, and a research fellow at the Department of Cognitive Science, Central European University. His interests span a broad range of levels of nervous system organisation, from sub-cellular and cellular through circuit and systems to behaviour. He studies these phenomena from computational, algorithmic/representational and neurobiological viewpoints. Computationally and algorithmically, he uses ideas from Bayesian approaches to statistical inference and reinforcement learning to characterise the goals and mechanisms of learning in terms of normative principles and behavioural results. He also performs dynamical systems analyses of reduced biophysical models to understand the mapping of these mechanisms into cellular and network models. He obtained his MSc and PhD at the Eötvös Loránd University, followed by a post-doctoral research fellowship at the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit, UCL, and a visiting research fellowship at the Collegium Budapest Institute for Advanced Study. He has been awarded an Investigator Award by the Wellcome Trust, and more recently a Consolidator Grant by the European Research Council.
