[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CogSci CEU Colloquium: 'Timing in musical joint action, and the role of bodily coordination dynamics' by Pieter-Jan Maes - February 5, 5pm

by Andrea Jenei

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science and the Social Mind Center cordially invites you to its talk by Pieter-Jan Maes<https://research.flw.ugent.be/en/pieterjan.maes> (Ghent University) Date: Wednesday, February 5, 2020 - 17:00-18:30 Location: CEU, Oktober 6. Street 7, room 101 Timing in musical joint action, and the role of bodily coordination dynamics Bodily gestures play an important role in joint musical interactions. In a series of empirical studies, we investigated how bodily gestures may support an emergent timing mechanism. Results show that gestures can contribute to joint musical timing, in the way they can lower cognitive load and provide cues that facilitate accurate prediction. In a second series of studies, I will present a new empirical protocol to investigate the relationship between the time-varying coordination dynamics of a joint musical interaction, and the subjectively-felt quality of that interaction (related to the sense of joint agency). We adopt thereby a Bayesian inference framework as a guide for our methodological choices. Finally, I will conclude my talk with a brief discussion on ongoing and future research, that employs virtual reality as a methodological framework to study fundamental aspects of embodied music interaction. We are looking forward to see you at the talk!

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER: CEU Departmental Colloquium, January 15: Moritz Wurm (University of Trento) - A novel framework for the neural organization of action and object knowledge

by CDC

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk by: Prof. Moritz Wurm (University of Trento) [web<https://webapps.unitn.it/du/en/Persona/PER0119546/Curriculum>] Title: A novel framework for the neural organization of action and object knowledge Date: Wednesday, 15 January 2020 Time: 17:00-18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 st. 7, room 101 Abstract: How is knowledge about things and events in the world organized in the brain? Popular theories suggest a major division between occipitotemporal and frontoparietal cortex in representing object and action information, respectively. Here I challenge this view by taking a closer look at the neural pathway of action recognition and understanding: In a series of fMRI-based MVPA studies, I show that critical levels of action representation – from basic perceptual action precursors (such as body movements toward persons or other entities) to perceptually invariant representations of action meaning – can be localized in lateral occipitotemporal cortex (LOTC) rather than frontoparietal areas. Moreover, the representational organization of actions in LOTC follows salient semantic principles and appears topographically aligned with related object representations. Based on these findings, I propose an updated model of knowledge organization in occipitotemporal cortex. We are looking forward to see you.
