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

Dear all,
Due to the present circumstances regarding the COVID-19 outbreak, and in
light of the policy of several universities to restrict non-essential
travel, we have made the decision to cancel this year's Dubrovnik
Conference on Cognitive Science.
At the same time, we would like to remind you that next year’s DUCOG will
go ahead as planned, and will take place in Dubrovnik between 20-23 May
2021.
We hope to see you in Dubrovnik in 2021!
Kind regards,
The DUCOG organising team

(*) /György Szondy graduated as an electrical engineer at BME in 1995. Since
2000 he has been dealing with the fundamental questions of General Relativity
and its alternatives: scalar-tensor gravity, quantum gravity as well as
Satellite Navigation (GPS). He has several publications on the subject. As an
independent researcher, together with Wigner and BME researchers he takes
part in the high precision re-measurement of the Eötvös equivalence principle
(EPF experiment)./

When the Window Cracks - Transparency and the Loss of Self in Depersonalisation and Meditation
Recent years have seen a resurgence of philosophical and scientific interest in the foundations of self-consciousness, with particular focus on its altered, disrupted forms. Specifically, the study of changes in sense of self - such as the phenomenon of selfless experiences or self-detachment - has attracted significant attention from philosophers and scientists alike. Here I contrast the phenomenon of self-detachment and selfless experiences in depersonalisation and Buddhist-derived meditative practices with focus on the property of "transparency" of subjective conscious experiences.
Depersonalisation (DP) is a profound disruption in the quality of subjective experiences which triggers alienating feelings of being a detached and disembodied observer of one's self, body and the world ('derealisation'). I argue that while meditative practice may enhance the underlying transparency of basic, embodied pre-reflective forms of self-consciousness, depersonalisation enhances the use of mentalistic hyper-reflective forms of self-consciousness.
I then present recent empirical findings from my lab exploring the relationship between the experience of DP and sensorimotor processing of self and other. Specifically, in Study 1 we used the Visual Remapping of Touch (VRT) paradigm to examine whether the tendency to experience DP is linked to disrupted integration of visual and tactile self-related information. Next we examined how disruptions of bodily self-consciousness in DP affects the experience of others in basic facets of social interaction, such as spontaneous facial mimicry. Specifically, in Study 2, we evaluated automatic mimicry in DP by using facial electromyography (EMG), which monitors electrical changes in muscle activity over the cheek and brow region.
These findings aim at providing a better understanding of how atypical multisensory integration processes may give rise to estranged, "zombie-like" and selfless states in DP but not meditation. I will conclude by defending the idea that the sense of self is a fundamental albeit "transparent" feature of self-conscious states that can be enhanced or disrupted but not "lost".
We are looking forward to seeing you at the talk!
