[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CDC Seminar: Patricia A. Ganea (University of Toronto), Wednesday, December 11, 4pm

by Anna Kispal

Dear all, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science invites you to the following talk: Patricia A. Ganea<https://discover.research.utoronto.ca/23831-patricia-ganea> (University of Toronto) Title: Mechanisms underlying counterfactual reasoning in development Abstract: Counterfactual reasoning is the ability to think of alternative representations to what we know to be true about the world, by imagining what would have happened had a situation been different. The ability to contemplate changes to reality is a fundamental aspect of human cognition involved in learning and decision-making. To date, the developmental literature has focused mostly on when children become capable of reasoning counterfactually, with little attention to how or why children reason the way they do. Conclusions about when children begin to reason counterfactually are also mixed and are underlined by different theoretical assumptions. In this talk I will present a process-based account of counterfactual reasoning by highlighting the processes it shares with other hypothetical abilities and by characterizing the factors that influence children’s counterfactual judgements. Date: Wednesday, December 11, 2024 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: Ágnes Kovács *Anyone not affiliated with CEU wishing to attend in-person in Vienna must RSVP here<https://forms.office.com/e/UmqahBYTHg> to get access to the lecture hall.

by Gyorgyne Finta

Dear All, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to the following talk by: Florent Meyniel<https://florentmeyniel.weebly.com/> (NeuroSpin -CEA/Inserm) Time: 4 pm CET Date: Thursday, December 5th, 2024 (Note the extraordinary day please) Venue: D002 (QS Vienna) and Zoom: https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/93252928825?pwd=Qsh89KMhKPfzOim9lwoO3bNjzuAXku.1<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/93252928825?pwd%3DQs…> Meeting ID: 932 5292 8825 Passcode: 610963 Chair: Jozsef Fiser Learning and representing probabilities in the human brain Florent Meyniel NeuroSpin (CEA-Saclay campus) and Institute for Neuromodulation (Sainte Anne Hospital), Paris, France The brain has an internal probabilistic model of its environment that is useful for many aspects of cognition, such as decision making, planning, perception and social interactions. Learning, in particular statistical learning, is a key process by which the probabilities that make up this internal model are estimated. It is now well established that learning is an incremental process driven by surprising events (i.e. events that deviate from the expectations derived from the internal model). In recent years, it has become clear that the confidence (or, conversely, the uncertainty) associated with the estimation of this internal model is another key component of the learning process. I will briefly review behavioural, theoretical and neural (MRI, MEG) data suggesting that confidence regulates the learning process. I will argue that while the neural representations of these two key aspects of learning, surprise and confidence, are now reasonably well understood, the neural representations of what is being learned, the probabilities, remain quite elusive. I will report the results of a recent 7T fMRI study which suggests that probabilities are not linearly encoded in fMRI activity (as is the case for surprise and confidence, which covary with fMRI activity in many brain regions), but are instead encoded in fMRI activity in a highly non-linear manner.

More info: https://fb.me/e/51Lgbgn4U Fluencia is a monthly, informal "jamboree" organized for students (both undergraduate and graduate), professors, and researchers in cognitive science, psychology, psychiatry, neurology, and neuroscience. Participants come from various universities in Hungary, and of course, individuals from other universities are warmly welcome! The main goal of Fluencia is to foster interaction, communication, and collaboration among researchers in these fields. It provides an excellent opportunity to meet new people, learn about each other's research interests, and enjoy some drinks in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Everyone is welcome! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. *All the best,* Dezső ---------------------------------------------- https://nemethlab.com/ <http://www.memory-and-language.com/>
