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] REMINDER: CogSci CEU Colloquium: 'Revisiting the Role of Children in Language Evolution and Language Change ' by Vera Kempe - Feb 27, 5pm

by Andrea Jenei

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science and the Social Mind Center cordially invites you to its talk by Vera Kempe<https://www.abertay.ac.uk/staff-search/professor-vera-kempe/> (Abertay University, School of Social Health Sciences, Division of Psychology) Date: Wednesday, February 27, 2019 - 17:00-18:30 Location: CEU, Oktober 6. Street 7, room 101 Revisiting the Role of Children in Language Evolution and Language Change Recent efforts using methods from experimental semiotics have been trying to understand how cognitive processes that underpin language learning and language use contribute to language evolution and language change. Here, a prominent notion is that structure arises from the interaction of learners' cognitive constraints with communicative pressures that operate during referential communication. The bulk of this research has been conducted with adults yet research on creolisation and emergence of sign languages has implicated children as the primary agents of linguistic change, attributing - paradoxically - emergence of regularity and structure to children's cognitive limitations. In this talk, I will review some recent evidence that challenges this notion by demonstrating persistent failures of children in various experimental semiotics tasks and tentatively suggest mechanisms by which accommodation and teaching of children by adults might contribute to language evolution and language change. We are looking forward to see you at the talk!

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Tomorrow: CogSci CEU Colloquium: 'Neural control of human defensive reactions to social threat' by Karin Roelofs - Feb 20, 5pm

by Andrea Jenei

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science and the Social Mind Center cordially invites you to its talk by Karin Roelofs<https://www.epanlab.nl/> (Experimental Psychopathology and Affective Neuroscience, Donders Institute and Behavioural Science Institute, Radboud University, Nijmegen) Date: Wednesday, February 20, 2019 - 17:00-18:30 Location: CEU, Oktober 6. Street 7, room 101 Neural control of human defensive reactions to social threat The ability to control automatic emotional actions constitutes a critical component of emotion regulation during socially threatening situations. For instance, under acute social threat, goal directed decision-making depends largely on the capacity to override automatic defensive actions such as freezing reactions or fight-or-flight actions. Distinct parts of the frontal cortex are implicated in regulating these defensive reactions. I will present a number of experimental paradigms by which we assessed neural control over these defensive reactions in humans by combining decision tasks with neural and autonomic measures. The first series of studies indicates that down-regulation of amygdala activity by the anterior prefrontal cortex (aPFC) is involved when people need to override their automatic social approach-avoidance action tendencies. I will show that the functioning of this neural circuitry is sensitive to individual differences in social anxiety and aggression, and I will discuss manipulations of this neural circuitry by steroid hormone administration (i.e. testosterone) and brain stimulation (TMS). The second series of studies investigates the shift from parasympathetically-dominated freezing to sympathetically-driven fight-or-flight reactions in humans. Like freezing in many animals, human freezing is accompanied by bradycardia and associated amygdala projections to the midbrain (periaqueductal gray). The shift from freezing to action involves tachycardia and associated recruitment of the perigenual part of the anterior cingulate cortex (pgACC) as well as pgACC-amygdala connections. I will end with evidence from longitudinal research suggesting that alterations in these primary defensive reactions in infancy are predictive of the development of affective symptoms in adolescence. Together, these series of studies show that distinct frontal regions are implicated in controlling distinct defensive reactions, and that the ability to flexibly shift between different defensive response modes is essential for adequate threat coping. It is this ability that may fail in social emotional disorders such as social anxiety and aggression-related disorders. We are looking forward to see you at the talk!
