by DUCOG - Dubrovnik Conference on Cognitive Science
Dear All,
We are pleased to announce the *XVII. Dubrovnik Conference on Cognitive
Science* devoted to *Adaptations across different timescales*. The
conference is going to take place on 21-24 May 2026, in the Center for
Advanced Studies of Dubrovnik, Croatia, located by the Adriatic sea at the
foot of the old city of Dubrovnik, a UNESCO world heritage site.
Adaptation is a defining feature of living systems, from immediate
adjustments to long-term developmental and societal changes. Here, we will
explore adaptation and its limits across multiple scales, asking how
individuals, groups, and societies adjust to shifting internal and external
demands, and what this means for personality and mental health. We will be
interested in how cognition is adjusted to cope with more immediate
challenges like scarcity, threat, or turmoil. On top of that, effects of
the environment during sensitive developmental periods can leave enduring
marks on information processing and behavioural tendencies. In this vein,
we will consider whether cognitive correlates of personality traits and
psychopathology can be seen as generalized adaptations to the past, or as
obstacles to meeting challenges in the present. In this conference, we will
bring together researchers who address this broad question from various
angles such as experimental psychology, genetics and neuroscience, or
clinical & personality psychology, and use diverse tools such as
computational cognitive modelling and time series analysis of daily life
data.
*Invited speakers will include:*
Philip Corlett (Yale Unviersity)
Kevin Mitchell (Trinity College Dublin)
Laura Bringmann (University of Groningen)
Stephan Lewandowsky (University of Bristol)
Further invited speakers will be announced later
For more information please visit https://ducog.cecog.eu
or email us at: ducog(a)cecog.eu
*Poster abstract submissions will be open between 1 January and 28 February
2026.*
On behalf of the organisers,
*Bertalan Polner (Donders Institute & ELTE Eötvös Loránd University) &

Gaining Precision: studying individuals to provide new insights into human brain networks and their role in control

Abstract: Different regions of the brain interact with one another through large-scale networks. These network interactions are important to many aspects of cognition, including our ability to control our thoughts and actions in the service of goals. In my lab, we study large-scale network organization in humans and the principles by which this organization can vary — including how these networks are altered with aging and disease processes. One particular innovation in our work has been in the use of 'precision' neuroimaging methods, in which we acquire extensive amounts of data from individuals in order to provide highly reliable and detailed representations of large-scale networks at the single person level. In the presentation, I will review a sampling of recent studies from our lab investigating forms of variation in large-scale networks within and across people. I will then discuss how these variations influence our studies of control.

Dear all,
The CEU Department of Cognitive Science invites you to the following talk:
Valeria Giardino<https://sites.google.com/view/valeriagiardino/home> (Institut Jean Nicod, Paris)
Diagramming and the use of cognitive artifacts to enhance reasoning
Abstract :
In my talk, I will introduce what I call "diagramming", that is, the capacity for coordinating among several systems that have been developed in our relationship with the environment, such as perception, action and conceptual knowledge, to the aim of solving a cognitive problem. In my view, such a capacity is the condition for the creation and the use of external cognitive artefacts enhancing our reasoning capacities. I will try to reply to some open questions, on the crucial contribution of spatial cognition in this context, and on the cognitive processes by which some external artifacts may have an influence on conceptualization.
Date: Wednesday, November 12th, 2025
Time: 4 pm (to 5:30 pm) CET

Dear All,
The CEU Department of Cognitive Science and the Center for Cognitive Computation (CCC) invite you to the upcoming event of the Budapest Computational Neuroscience Forum<https://ccc.ceu.edu/budapest-computational-neuroscience-forum>.
Speaker: Zsigmond Benkő (Wigner Institute)<https://wigner.hu/infopages/benko.zsigmond>
Title: Hidden Common Driver Reconstruction and the Anisotropic Self-Organizing Map
Abstract: Hidden common signals drive many coupled systems yet remain unobserved. Reconstructing these latent drivers from observed time series is central to understanding coordination, building invariant representations, and denoising dynamical data. In this talk, I will approach the problem of hidden driver reconstruction from a dynamical-systems perspective and outline a progression of methods that aim to uncover shared structure across systems—from Slow Feature Analysis and Canonical Correlation Analysis to their deep extensions, shared dynamics reconstruction, and the Mapper–Coach (MaCo) framework. Building on this context, I will introduce the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) and present our Anisotropic SOM (ASOM) variant [1], which adapts the classical algorithm to learn the geometry of coupled attractors and separate self-dynamics from shared dynamics. While the focus will be on the mathematical and algorithmic foundations, the results may also hint at broader connections to how coordination or shared patterns emerge in neural and cognitive systems.
