Kedves Kollégák, Szeretettel látunk minden érdeklődőt beküldött előadással és hallgatóként is a lenti workshop-on. Üdv, Attila METHODS IN NUMERICAL COGNITION WORKSHOP *Date* January 7, 2019 *Venue* Eötvös Loránd University, Faculty of Education and Psychology <https://www.ppk.elte.hu/en>, Budapest, Hungary, Kazinczy street, 23-27 <https://www.google.hu/maps/place/E%C3%B6tv%C3%B6s+Lor%C3%A1nd+University+Fa…>, Room 4 on ground floor *Website* https://www.thenumberworks.org/numerical_cognition_methods_workshop ABOUT THE WORKSHOP Researchers working in the field of numerical cognition often have a hard time to find the ideal methods that fit the research aim best and also please the reviewers. Some methods are less known, some of them are debated, and consequences of some methods are not studied yet. For example, how should the subitizing range be calculated, how should the visual features of non-symbolic stimuli be controlled, how should the counting knowledge of preschoolers be measured? The Methods in Numerical Cognition Workshop aims to be a forum for presenting and discussing any methods related to numerical cognition, including paradigms, tests, analyses methods, etc. The main aim of the workshop is to discuss these methods in details. In line with the aim of the workshop, the talks can be 10-15 minutes long (the time will depend on the number of submitted talks and will be announced when the final program is available), and the discussion of the talks is practically unlimited (within a reasonable limit). But there is more. During the workshop we launch a new interactive database-website that collects methods in numerical cognition, and where researchers can share their experience and opinion about these methods. This database can be considered as an online handbook, but it can be continuously updated. Also, it is a review system with much more transparent methods than most of the current peer-review options. The details of this interactive numerical cognition methodological website will be introduced as a part of the program, and workshop participants can discuss the details of the functioning of this database, too. Also, participants will be able to start uploading method summaries, and to start evaluating uploaded methods. For three months, the website will be available only for the participants of the workshop. SUBMIT YOUR ABSTRACT *Submission* Submit your abstract by filling this form <https://goo.gl/forms/iSsmlsIYAokIVl8o2>. *Deadline* The deadline for the abstract submission is November 20, 2018. PROGRAM *Program* Come back for the program after the submission deadline, November 20, 2018. *Slides* We will ask the presenters to upload their slides to the OSF Meetings page of the workshop <https://osf.io/view/MNCW2019/>. MORE INFORMATION *Registration fee* There is no registration fee for the workshop. *Contact* For more information contact Attila Krajcsi <krajcsi.attila(a)ppk.elte.hu> or Bert Reynvoet <bert.reynvoet(a)kuleuven.be>. *Other events* If you are coming to Budapest, you might consider attending the Budapest CEU Conference on Cognitive Development <http://bcccd.org/> (January 3-5, 2019) or the Best Practices in Data Analysis and Statistics Symposium <https://www.cogstat.org/best_practices_symposium/> (January 9, 2019), too. *Supporter* The workshop is supported by the Faculty of Education and Psychology, Eötvös Loránd University <https://www.ppk.elte.hu/en>. *Web hosting* The Workshop web page is hosted by the NumberWorks <https://www.thenumberworks.org/> lab.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] TODAY: CogSci CEU Colloquium: Grasp planning for object manipulation by Oliver Herbort (Universität Würzburg)

by Andrea Jenei

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science and the Social Mind Center cordially invites you to its talk by: 1) Oliver Herbort<http://www.i3.psychologie.uni-wuerzburg.de/staff/pd-dr-oliver-herbort/> (Department of Psychology, Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg) Grasp planning for object manipulation: The contribution of goal-directed and habitual processing We use tools and handle objects every day. Thereby, the selection of a specific grasp sets the stage for subsequent tool use actions or object manipulations: Whereas clever grasp planning can facilitate a subsequent object manipulation, an inappropriate grasp selection may hinder it or even render it impossible. However, how grasps for object manipulation are planned is an open question and different explanation have been proposed. In my presentation I will focus on the (apparent) dichotomy of goal-directed and habitual processing and present experiments that shed light on the contribution of both modes of processing. These experiments show that grasp planning - including the adjustment of the grasp to an upcoming object manipulation -is predominantly a habitual process Date: Wednesday, November 28, 2018 - 17:00-18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 St. 7, room 101 We are looking forward to see you at the talks!

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Invitation to the Doctoral Defense of Luke McEllin, Department of Cognitive Science, November 29, 10 am, October Hall

by Gyorgyne Finta

The Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to the public defense of the PhD thesis INVESTIGATING THE PRODUCTION AND PERCEPTION OF MOVEMENT CUES IN JOINT ACTION by Luke McEllin PRIMARY SUPERVISOR: Natalie Sebanz SECONDARY SUPERVISOR: Gunther Knoblich Members of the Dissertation Committee: Agnes Kovacs, Chair, CEU Emily Cross, external examiner, University of Glasgow Giovanni Pezzulo, external examiner, Institute of Cognitive Sciences and Technologies (ISTC-CNR), Rome abstract | The movements of those engaged in social interactions are laden with meaning, and reflect a whole host of mental states, including intentions and attitudes towards a co-actor. The aim of this thesis was to investigate how the movements of actors engaged in joint actions provide us with information about their informative intentions, and the interpersonal relations of those interacting with each other. Our first study investigated how actors modulate the kinematics of their actions in order to provide informative cues to co-actors, and demonstrated that actions that are identical instrumentally can have different kinematic signatures depending on the informative intentions of the actor (i.e. the intention to coordinate, or the intention to teach). Our second study set out to investigate whether or not observers are able to use kinematic cues to understand an actor's informative intentions, and demonstrated that not only can observers detect the presence of informative intentions on the basis of movement cues, but they can also discriminate between different informative intentions. Our third study aimed to investigate how different types of interpersonal synchrony affect third person perception of the relations between two actors, and found that the movement cues reflecting different types of synchrony have a direct effect on our perception of a performance in terms of the affiliation between the performers, and how aesthetically pleasing we find these performances. In the final section of this thesis, our findings are discussed with respect to their implications for theories of direct perception of mental states, as well as their applications to our understanding of teaching and learning, and human robot interaction. The defense will take place at October Hall, V. Budapest, Október 6 street 7, ground floor on Thursday, November 29, at 10 am organized by the Department of Cognitive Science Györgyné Finta (Réka) Department Coordinator ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Central European University Department of Cognitive Science H-1051 Budapest Oktober 6 utca 7. tel: (36-1) 887-5138 fax: (36-1) 887-5010 http://www.ceu.edu http://cognitivescience.ceu.edu ______________________________________________ Subscribe by sending an empty mail to talks-subscribe(a)cogsci.ceu.edu Unsubscribe by sending an empty mail to talks-unsubscribe(a)cogsci.ceu.edu

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CogSci CEU Colloquium: Towards transparent EEG by Stefan Debener (University of Oldenburg)

by Andrea Jenei

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science and the Social Mind Center cordially invites you to its talk by: 1) Stefan Debener<https://uol.de/neuropsychologie/team/prof-dr-stefan-debener/> (Department of Psychology, Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg) Towards transparent EEG Recently developed EEG systems are still too cumbersome to be used in daily-life situations. A transparent EEG would not only be portable and motion-tolerant, it would also feature low visibility and generally minimal interference with daily-life activities. In order to achieve these long-term goals, we use smartphones for EEG acquisition, stimulus presentation and online signal processing. In addition, we develop ear-EEG technology to capture meaningful brain activity unobtrusively. I will summarize our recent work showing that smartphones can handle EEG acquisition and experimental control reasonably well, and that they facilitate the combined recording of EEG and motion sensor signals. I will also report on the cEEGrids (www.ceegrid.com), flex-printed electrodes placed around the ear. While challenges remain to be tackled, our results document a proof of concept readiness level for both, smartphone EEG and ear-EEG. They will be indispensable for the unobtrusive monitoring of brain states in daily-life situations. Date: Wednesday, November 21, 2018 - 17:00-18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 St. 7, room 101 We are looking forward to see you at the talks!
