by Dezso Nemeth

Dear Cognitive Folks, The next Fluencia Party will be on 9th February (Friday) starting at 8.00pm in Élesztő (Tűzoltó utca close to Corvin metro station). Info: https://www.facebook.com/events/2013110232260580/ Fluencia is a monthly organized informal "jamboree" for cogsci-, psychology-related students (undergrads, grads), professors, researchers from many different universities in Hungary. The idea and motivation are to facilitate interactions, communication, collaboration among researchers working here, get to know others and others' interests, topics, etc. And, of course, to have some drinks and fun in a friendly environment. Everybody is welcome to attend! If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to ask. All the best, Dezso -------------------------------------- NEMETH, Dezso (PhD) Brain, Memory and Language Lab: http://www.memory-and-language.com Phone: +36-1-4614500/3565, +36-1-4614500/3519

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CEU Departmental Colloquium, November 6: Attila Keresztes (Hungarian Academy of Sciences) - A case for a lifespan developmental approach to cognition: Hippocampal contributions to memory across the lifespan

by Denis Tatone

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk by: Dr. *Attila Keresztes *(Hungarian Academy of Sciences) [web <https://www.attilakeresztes.com/>] Title: *A case for a lifespan developmental approach to cognition: Hippocampal contributions to memory across the lifespan* Date: Wednesday, 6 November 2019 Time: 17:00-18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 st. 7, room 101 Abstract: Developmental and general approaches to the neural architecture of cognition have reciprocal and beneficial relations. In this talk, I will present research that exemplifies how general computational and animal models point to potential reasons for age differences in memory, and how memory developmental phenomena can help clarify the role of functional subdivisions within brain areas implementing memory. In particular, the hippocampus keeps a fine balance between computations that extract commonalities of incoming information (i.e. generalization through pattern completion) and computations that enable encoding of highly similar events into unique representations (i.e. memory specificity through pattern separation). During early ontogeny, the rapid and cumulative acquisition of world knowledge through generalization contrasts slower improvements in the ability to lay down highly specific, long-lasting memories. At the other end of the lifespan, an early decrease in memory specificity is paralleled with relatively intact generalization. I will highlight recent behavioral and neuroimaging evidence suggesting that (1) maturational differences among subfields within the hippocampus contribute to the lead-lag relation between generalization and specificity during childhood and adolescence, (2) scenescent changes within the hippocampus differentially affect specificity and generalization. Based on these results, I propose that developmental changes within the hippocampus affect the fine balance between specificity and generalization across the human lifespan. We are looking forward to see you.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CEU Departmental Colloquium, October 30: Sotaro Kita (University of Warwick) - Gesture, Language and Thought

by Denis Tatone

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk by: Prof. *Sotaro Kita *(University of Warwick) [web <https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/psych/people/skita/skita>] Title: *Gesture, Language and Thought* Date: Wednesday, 30 October 2019 Time: 17:00-18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 st. 7, room 101 Abstract: This presentation concerns a theory on how gestures (accompanying speaking and silent thinking) are generated and how gestures facilitate the gesturer's own cognitive processes. I will present evidence that gestures are generated from a general-purpose Action Generator, which also generates “practical” actions such as grasping a cup to drink, and that the Action Generator generates gestural representation in close coordination with the speech production process (Kita & Ozyurek, 2003, Journal of Memory and Language). I will also present evidence that gestures facilitate thinking and speaking through four functions: gesture activates, manipulates, packages and explores spatio-motoric representations (Kita, Chu, & Alibali, 2017, Psychological Review). Further, I will argue that schematic nature of gestural representation plays a crucial role in these four functions. To summarise, gesture, generated at the interface of action and language, shapes the way we think and we speak. We are looking forward to see you.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CEU Vienna workshop: Boundaries of Mind, November 13-14, 2019

by Andrea Jenei

The Department of Philosophy and the Social Mind Center at CEU cordially invites you to their workshop: The Boundaries of Mind Date: November 13-14, 2019 Place: CEU Vienna Campus, Quellenstrasse 51, room: Ground floor Auditorium Much recent thinking about the mind and the brain in psychology, philosophy and neuroscience has been preoccupied with questions about boundaries - including those between mind and world, between individual agents, between mind and the rest of the body, between the neural and the psychological, and between different mental capacities (sensation and cognition, perception and action etc.). This interdisciplinary workshop will address some questions about the boundaries of the mind from the perspective of different disciplines, in the hope of obtaining a richer picture of the mind and its complexity. Wednesday 13th November 2019 13.00 Introduction 13.15 Tim Crane (Central European University):The boundary between the conscious and the unconscious 14.30 coffee 15.00 Sarah Garfinkel (University of Sussex): Breaking the boundaries between hearts and minds 16.15 coffee 16.45 Giandomenico Ianetti (University College London/Italian Institute of Technology): Is there a boundary of peripersonal space? Thursday 14th November 2019 9.00 Alexandria Boyle (University of Cambridge): The boundaries of memory 10.15 coffee 10.45 Katalin Farkas (Central European University): Embodied mind, extended mind 12.00 lunch 13.30 Barry C Smith (University of London): The boundaries of the senses 14.45 coffee 15.15 Alva Noë (University of California at Berkeley): Presence and entanglement PLEASE REGISTER FOR THE WORKSHOP HERE <https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=E1nE2VN24kuSC72wOGOBhK5…> For more information and any program updates, please visit the event page at https://events.ceu.edu/2019-11-13/boundaries-mind. ______________________________________________ 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
