[Koglist] Meghívó Vikram Venkatraghavan előadására

by Weiss Béla

Tisztelt Kollégák! Ezúton szeretnénk meghívni Önöket a TTK Agyi Képalkotó Központ által szervezett előadásra, amelyet Vikram Venkatraghavan (Alzheimer Center, Amsterdam UMC) fog tartani "Early detection of Alzheimer's disease subtypes" címmel. Az előadás időpontja: 2023. június 13. (kedd) 13:00 óra Az előadás helyszíne: TTK földszinti kis konferenciaterme (1117 Budapest, Magyar tudósok körútja 2.) Várunk minden érdeklődőt. Üdvözlettel, Weiss Béla Abstract Heterogeneity in the atrophy profile and clinical presentation of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is well documented in literature. Defining tangible data‐driven subtypes and detecting these subtypes early in an individual is paramount to devising precise intervention strategies. In this study, we estimated distinct data‐driven AD subtypes and their corresponding atrophy timelines from cross‐sectional data collected from 2748 AD patients and used it for predicting the subtypes of patients with MCI and SCD (n = 3034 and 1134 respectively). Subsequently, we validated the consistency of the detected subtypes for a subset of patients with longitudinal MRI data.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CDC Seminar: Nicolò Cesana-Arlotti (Yale), 4 pm on Wednesday May 31

by Barbu Revencu

Dear all, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science invites you to the following talk: Nicolò Cesana-Arlotti<https://psychology.yale.edu/people/nicolo-cesana-arlotti> (Yale University) Foundations of logical thought in human infants Humans' disposition for rational learning, planning, and decision-making is unparalleled in the natural world. Foundational views in the cognitive sciences hold that to learn, think and talk as we do, we rely upon a "language of thought" – a capacity for framing ideas in abstract logical structures and for drawing the inferences they support. Yet, we know little about the foundations of logical thought in the ontogeny of the mind: are learning, education, or the mastery of language required for logical cognition? In this talk, I will present my attempt to answer this question. First, I discuss a developmental primitive of logical reasoning: infants make inferences by contrasting and eliminating alternatives. Through a series of studies, I will examine the nature of this preverbal logical capacity and its function in knowledge acquisition. Next, I will present newer work investigating the breadth of infants' and children's uncharted logical resources: (i) the presence of other fundamental logical representations, (ii) their abstractness and domain-generality, and (iii) the capacity to integrate distinct logical operations. My goal will be to share with you works that aim to shed light on the developmental foundations upon which thought is built and made possible. Date: Wednesday, May 31, 2023 Time: 4 pm (to 5:30 pm) CET Venue: D001-Tiered* (QS Vienna) and Zoom (meeting ID: 969 2496 5784<https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/96924965784?pwd=c2duZ0dDMFdEMUthK2Mwa2wzMllEUT09>, passcode: 471712) Chair: Ernő Téglás *Anyone not affiliated with CEU wishing to attend in-person in Vienna must RSVP here<https://forms.office.com/e/qiXF2wt68v> to get access to the lecture hall.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Cathal O'Madagain, Université Mohammad VI Polytechnique, May 25 10 AM: Concept Utility - a Driver of Linguistic Change?

by Attila Balla

Dear All, The Language Comprehension Lab cordially invites you to the following talk by: Cathal O'Madagain, Université Mohammad VI Polytechnique, Morocco Date: Thursday, May 25, 2023 Time: 10 AM Venue: Language Comprehension Lab (D513) Title: "Concept Utility - a Driver of Linguistic Change?" Some cases of explicit linguistic revision indicate that words and concepts can be 'improved'. In 2006, the International Astronomical Union revised the concept Planet so that it excluded Pluto, and insisting that the result was an improvement. But what could it mean for one concept or conceptual scheme to be better than another? Here we draw on the theory of epistemic utility to address this question. We show how the plausibility and informativeness of beliefs, two features that contribute to their utility, have direct correlates in our concepts. These are how inclusive a concept is, or how many objects in an environment it applies to, and how homogeneous it is, or how similar the objects that fall under the concept are. We provide ways to measure these values, and argue that in combination they can provide us with a single principle of concept utility. The resulting principle can rationalize practices of concept revision, and perhaps provide a new way of thinking about why linguistic meanings may change over time. Please, send me a message if you would like to join the talk or if you would like to schedule a meeting with the speaker. The venue may vary depending on the number of people interested.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Online CDC Seminar: Paul Smaldino (UC Merced), 5 pm on Wednesday May 24

by Barbu Revencu

Dear all, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science invites you to the following talk. Please note that the talk exceptionally starts at 5 pm. Paul Smaldino<https://smaldino.com/wp/> (UC Merced) Dynamics of Covert Signaling: Modeling the Emergence and Extinction of Identity Signals Seemingly arbitrary cues—be they linguistic, sartorial, or behavioral—can come to serve as markers of group membership. However, such markers are only effective if the benefits of using them outweigh the costs of being recognized by hostile outgroups, as is the case often faced by oppressed minorities, political dissidents, and others in an increasingly polarized society. I will present mathematical and computational modeling, along with motivating empirical work, to show how stable identity signals can be disrupted, leading to cyclical lifespans or even the total suppression of effective group markers as the potential cost of being identified by a hostile outgroup increases. I will then discuss implications for our understanding of communication and the censorship of dissent in both on- and offline communities. Date: Wednesday, May 24, 2023 Time: 5 pm (to 6:30 pm) CET Venue: Online, Zoom meeting 969 2496 5784<https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/96924965784?pwd=c2duZ0dDMFdEMUthK2Mwa2wzMllEUT09> (pw: 471712) Chair: Gergely Csibra If you want to schedule a meeting with Paul, drop me a line.
