Title: Measurements of perceived time of visual events
Abstract: Visual perception is not instantaneous. It takes a few milliseconds for light to be transduced in photoreceptors and tens of milliseconds more for neuronal spikes to occur at successive levels of the visual hierarchy. These delays necessarily impact our abiity to perceive time. I will present examples of human time perception from two classes of tasks, duration estimation and perceived time of an event. In duration estimation, we have shown that observers are able to estimate the duration of an interval even when the onset of that interval is not explictly provided. In perceived time, we have shown that the perceived time of an event is influenced by other events in their temporal proximity, and that this perceived time varies across the visual field. A better understanding of our sensitivity to and biases in the perception of time is important to fully appreciate how well we understand our sensory environment.

Chair: Christophe Heintz and Angarika Deb
Title: Hunter-Gatherer Social Organisation and Behaviour: Implications for Mental Health
Humans lived as hunter-gatherers for the vast majority of our species' history. Therefore, research with contemporary hunter-gatherer societies can offer insight into the evolution of our psychology and physiology. Drawing on my fieldwork with BaYaka hunter-gatherers from Congo, I will discuss the selection pressures that have shaped human social cognition and behaviour. I will focus on the communal living arrangements, egalitarian social organisation, and extensive cooperation, particularly in the domain of childrearing, which are normative across contemporary hunter-gatherer populations. I will also discuss how deviations from these features of sociality, which are commonplace in high-income industrialised societies, may increase our vulnerability to mental health disorders due to evolutionary mismatch-when an organism faces conditions that differ from those that some trait of the organism is adapted to, resulting in pathology or maladaptation.

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
