[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CEU Departmental Colloquium, October 3: Liuba Papeo (CNRS & Universite Claude Bernard Lyon1) - Perceptual Grounding of Social Cognition

by Denis Tatone

Dear all, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk by: *Liuba Papeo *(CNRS & Universite Claude Bernard Lyon1) [web <http://www.liubapapeo.com/>] Title: *Perceptual Grounding of Social Cognition* Date: Wednesday, 3 October 2018 Time: 17:00-18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 st. 7, room 101 Abstract: Visual perception is attuned to detect stimuli with high social value, such as faces, bodies and biological motion. I will argue that human visual perception is further prepared to represent socially relevant (spatial) relations among multiple entities. This so-far uncharted property of human perception substantiates the construct of social vision, whereby the result of perceptual analysis is not just shape recognition, but information ready for inferential operations in social cognition. I will discuss the preparedness of human visual perception to represent configurations of multiple entities in spatial positioning that cues interaction, focusing on three empirical phenomena. First, under conditions of low visibility, two bodies facing each other (seemingly interacting) are recognized more accurately and faster than two nonfacing bodies. Moreover, the recognition of facing body-dyads is disproportionately impaired when those stimuli are inverted. Privileged recognition and inversion effect suggest specialized mechanisms for visual perception of interacting bodies. Second, in a visual search task, two facing (i.e., seemingly interacting) bodies are processed more efficiently than two nonfacing (i.e., non-interacting) bodies. In showing that the visual search mechanism has rapid access to relations across multiple objects, this research highlights the perceptual advantage of facing over nonfacing dyads. Functional MRI results will further support this observation. Third, a series of experiments based on a preferential looking paradigm reveals discrimination of facing versus nonfacing bodies, in 6-months-old infants. Thus, the visual sensitivity to interacting bodies seen in adults, does not require decades of exposure to social contexts; it could rather be a signature of early developing perceptual mechanisms that contribute to the construction of mature social cognition. Multi-body perception, where human observers attain a fast, initial appraisal of possible relations in a scene, may be the crucial mechanism that channels body perception into social cognition; in other words, the (missing) link between perception and cognition. We are looking forward to see you.

[Koglist] {Disarmed} Fwd: [etologiai-tarsasag] MET konferencia, 23-25 november, Kolozsvár

by Adam Miklosi

Kedves Kollégák! Etológia iránt (is) érdeklődők figyelmébe ajánlom ezt a konferenciát és persze Kolozsvárt is! üdvözlettel Miklósi Ádám ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Peter Laszlo Pap peterlpap(a)gmail.com [etologiai-tarsasag] < etologiai-tarsasag(a)yahoogroups.com> Date: Wed, Sep 26, 2018 at 11:01 AM Subject: [etologiai-tarsasag] MET konferencia, 23-25 november, Kolozsvár To: <okologia(a)yahoogroups.com>, <etologia.tarsasag(a)gmail.com>, < etologiai-tarsasag(a)yahoogroups.com>, Kolozsvari Biologus Oktatok < kolozsbiol(a)googlegroups.com>, <ErdBiol(a)onelist.com>, Vocsok < vocsok(a)vocs.unideb.hu>, Scheuring István <scheurin(a)caesar.elte.hu>, Gácsi Márta <marta.gacsi(a)gmail.com>, Herczeg Gábor <gaborherczeg(a)caesar.elte.hu> Kedves Etológusok! Nagy örömünkre szolgál bejelenteni azt a hírt, miszerint a soron következő, XX. MET konferenciát Kolozsváron szervezzük meg a Babeș-Bolyai Tudományegyetem Magyar Biológiai és Ökológiai Intézetében. Ebben az intézetben egy olyan etológia és viselkedésökológia műhely működik, ahonnan lelkes PhD hallgatók kerültek ki több magyarországi és külföldi egyetemre, és ahova reményeink szerint a magyar etológusok szívesen ellátogatnak vagy visszatérnek. A MET konferencia helyszínének a kiválasztásában fontos szerepet játszik a diákok jelenléte, nyüzsgése, vagyis hogy számukra egy minél vonzóbb és elérhetőbb teret találjunk. Szervezőként úgy gondoljuk, hogy Kolozsvár egy ilyen hely: élettel teli egyetemi város, a magyarországi kutatók és hallgatók számára egy picit kuriózum, a mindennapokból való kizökkenést teszi lehetővé, és nem utolsó sorban sok-sok érdeklődő hallgató és végzett biológus egyik találkozási pontja. Az idei MET konferencia rangját a szakmai körökben jól ismert plenáris előadóink alapozzák meg, a többit, szakmaiságot, közvetlenséget és a jó hangulatot pedig tőletek, előadóktól, tapasztalt és pályájuk elején lévő kutatóktól várjuk. Éppen ezért minden etológia, viselkedésökológia, vagy tágabb értelemben az ökológia vagy biológia iránt érdeklődők jelenlétére számítunk.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER: `From vision to cognition and action ` a talk by Constantin Rothkopf (TU Darmstadt), September 26, 5:10 pm

by Gyorgyne Finta

REMINDER ***************** Dear all, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its next week talk by: Constantin Rothkopf (TU Darmstadt) Date: Wednesday, September 26, 2018 - 17:10-18:40 Host: Jozsef Fiser Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101. Title: From vision to cognition and action In the last few years computer vision has made tremendous progress in answering questions such as "what is where" in an image. But human abilities to act on and reason about the visual world exceed current systems by far. The first part of the talk will present recent work on the exquisite adaptability of the visual system's active role in acquiring information in one of the most often carried out visual behaviors, i.e. blinking. Subjects were able to learn environmental regularities and adapted their blinking behavior strategically to better detect future events, based on their current beliefs. The observed behavior is in accordance with a computational model based on optimal control trading off intrinsic costs for blink suppression with task-related costs for missing an event under perceptual uncertainty. The second part of the talk will revisit a set of classic cognitive vision tasks, the Bongard problems. Using a formal language representing complex visual concepts and Bayesian inference, complex visual concepts can be induced from the examples that are provided in each Bongard problem, very similar to previous work on the rational analysis of rule-based concept learning. Contrary to other concept learning problems the examples are not random in Bongard problems, instead they are carefully chosen to communicate the concept, hence requiring pragmatic reasoning. Taking pragmatic reasoning into account we find good agreement between the concepts with high posterior probability and the solutions formulated by Bongard himself. While this approach is far from solving all Bongard problems, it solves the biggest fraction yet. This is joint work with Stefan Depeweg, Frank Jaekel, Stefan Helfmann, and David Hoppe.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Two colloquia this week: Andrew Bayliss - Sept 12 @5pm, Ryan Mc Kay - Sept 14 @4pm

by Andrea Jenei

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science and the Social Mind Center cordially invites you to two talks during this week: 1) Andrew Bayliss<https://people.uea.ac.uk/en/persons/andrew-p-bayliss> (School of Psychology, Social Cognition Research Group, University of East Anglia) Following and Leading Social Gaze When we see someone suddenly move their eyes, our attention is spontaneously drawn to where they are looking. This establishes a state of 'joint attention', which serves a variety of social functions. In the talk, I will give an overview some work on gaze cueing of attention that investigates both the attentional and affective processes engaged during a joint attention episode. I will also introduce some recent work that investigates shared attention from the perspective of the gaze leader. I will show that leading others' eyes also engages attentional and affective processes, but also evokes an implicit sense of agency. Date: Wednesday, September 12, 2018 - 17:00-18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 St. 7, room 101 2) Ryan McKay<https://pure.royalholloway.ac.uk/portal/en/persons/ryan-mckay(cda72457-6d2a…> (Department of Psychology, Royal Holloway, University of London) Belief Formation in a Post-Truth World In 2018 we inhabit a "post-truth" world where scientific evidence and accurate information must compete with appeals to emotion and "fake news". In this talk I will attempt to shed some light on the human tendency to believe "alternative facts". For one thing, individuals tend to restrict the amount of information they collect when forming beliefs, "jumping to conclusions" on limited evidence. In an era where dubious claims are routinely propagated by highly visible individuals, it is little wonder that mistaken beliefs - "misbeliefs" - about empirical reality persist in the face of contrary scientific evidence. Alongside a generalised tendency to jump to conclusions when forming beliefs, however, is a pronounced failure to form beliefs dispassionately. Instead, humans are disposed to form "motivated" beliefs. In particular, we are prone to a desirability bias, being more inclined to accept evidence if it supports what we want to believe. Finally, some beliefs may be held for social rather than epistemic reasons - that is, to signal commitment to cultural groups upon which individuals depend. Date: Friday, September 14, 2018 - 16:00-17:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 St. 7, room 101 We are looking forward to see you at the talks!
