[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium: April 5, Wednesday: Vaughn Becker - Coevolutionary Psychology and the Embodied Social Brain

by Andrea Jenei

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science and the Social Mind Center cordially invites you to its talk by Vaughn Becker<http://www.public.asu.edu/~loids/> (Arizona State University) Date: Wednesday, April 5, 2017 - 17:00-18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 St. 7, room 101 Coevolutionary Psychology and the Embodied Social Brain: A Functionalist Approach to Social Signal Detection "My research explores how social and emotional signals are detected and remembered, applying classic methods of cognitive science to real-world content and scenarios. I begin with the assumption that humans share a suite of fundamental Motivational and Emotional Systems (MES), designed to learn to pick up information about threats and opportunities relevant to our basic social goals. Experiments on threat detection illustrate both the biasing and sensitizing effects of such MES, including limits to threat-detection imposed by bottom-up properties of the signal. Related work on attention and memory suggest that even transitory activations of MES can enhance information pick-up in measurable ways. At a more theoretical level, these results suggest that dynamic internal simulations underlie both perception and action, providing a shared workspace in which MES maintain vigilance for goal-relevant stimuli and interact with one another when multiple conflicting goals arise. The central tendencies of these systems are like Jung's Archetypes, representational proclivities that span the gap between proximate online embodiment and ancient drives, grounding the symbolic and propositional models of traditional cognitive science. My research program is now seeking international collaborations in an effort to generalize our sense of how social signal detection works in the real world. Such cross-cultural work has the potential to uncover universal principles of emotion-cognition interactions lurking beneath culturally variable but functionally equivalent content." We are looking forward to see you at the talk!

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Reminder: CogSci CEU CDC seminar: Tuesday, March 21st - Renee Baillargeon

by Katarina Begus

Dear All, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science gently reminds about its tomorrow's talk by: *Renee Baillargeon (University of Illinois)* *Date: *Tuesday, March 21st, 2017 – 17:00-18:30 *Host:* Gergely Csibra *Infants’ Moral Compass* How do infants evaluate individuals’ actions toward others? I will suggest that the moral sensitivities that underlie these early evaluations are best characterized as a moral compass, with distinct sociomoral principles leading infants to form nuanced expectations about what actions are acceptable or unacceptable in specific contexts. My talk will focus on two principles in particular, fairness and ingroup support. With respect to fairness, I will present evidence that even young infants possess an abstract notion of equity. Next, I will present experiments on two corollaries of the principle of ingroup support, ingroup care and ingroup loyalty. These experiments indicate that when watching interactions among unfamiliar adults in minimal groups, infants hold different expectations for interactions within and between groups, in line with prior research with older children and adults on ingroup favoritism in minimal groups. *Location: *Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101.

[Koglist] Lengyel Máté előadása: 2017.03.28. (kedd) 17 órától, MTA TTK

by Weiss Béla

Tisztelt Kollégák! Ezúton szeretném meghívni Önöket az MTA TTK Agyi Képalkotó Központ által szervezett következő előadásra, amelyet Lengyel Máté (Cambridge University, CEU) fog tartani "A Bayesian approach to internal models / Mentális modellek Bayes-i megközelítésben" címmel. Az előadás időpontja: 2017. március 28. (kedd) 17:00 óra Az előadás helyszíne: MTA TTK földszinti kis konferenciaterme (1117 Budapest, Magyar tudósok körútja 2.) Szeretettel várunk minden érdeklődőt. Üdvözlettel, Weiss Béla MTA TTK Agyi Képalkotó Központ Abstract: Our percepts rely on an internal model of the environment, relating physical processes of the world to inputs received by our senses, and thus their veracity critically hinges upon how well this internal model is adapted to the statistical properties of the environment. We used a combination of Bayesian inference-based theory and novel data analysis techniques applied to a range of human behavioural experiments to reveal the principles by which complex internal models (1) are acquired through experience, (2) can be shown to be task-independent, and (3) generalise across very different response modalities. CV: Máté Lengyel is a Reader in Computational Neuroscience at the Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge, and a research fellow at the Department of Cognitive Science, Central European University. His interests span a broad range of levels of nervous system organisation, from sub-cellular and cellular through circuit and systems to behaviour. He studies these phenomena from computational, algorithmic/representational and neurobiological viewpoints. Computationally and algorithmically, he uses ideas from Bayesian approaches to statistical inference and reinforcement learning to characterise the goals and mechanisms of learning in terms of normative principles and behavioural results. He also performs dynamical systems analyses of reduced biophysical models to understand the mapping of these mechanisms into cellular and network models. He obtained his MSc and PhD at the Eötvös Loránd University, followed by a post-doctoral research fellowship at the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit, UCL, and a visiting research fellowship at the Collegium Budapest Institute for Advanced Study. He has been awarded an Investigator Award by the Wellcome Trust, and more recently a Consolidator Grant by the European Research Council.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Joint CEU CogSci and Phil Departmental Colloquium: March 14, Tuesday: Thomas Metzinger - Mental Autonomy and Mental Action

by Andrea Jenei

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science and the Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to its talk by Thomas Metzinger<http://www.blogs.uni-mainz.de/fb05philosophieengl/institutes/theoretical-ph…> (Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz) Date: Tuesday, March 14, 2017 - 17:30-19:00 Location: CEU, Nador 15, Room 103 Mental Autonomy and Mental Action I will have two central goals in the first part of this talk, which explores the relevance of latest research on mind-wandering for theories of consciousness. First, conceptually, and in opposition to what many philosophers following Descartes and Kant traditionally have liked to believe, I will argue for the claim that conscious thought actually is a subpersonal process, only rarely a form of mental action, but rather an unintentional form of mental behaviour, and demonstrably for more than two thirds of our conscious life-time. The paradigmatic, standard form of conscious thought is non-agentive, it lacks veto-control, and involves an unnoticed loss of epistemic agency and goal-directed causal self-determination on the level of mental content. Second, I present an empirical hypothesis: There will be a detectable self-representational blink (SRB), a small time window I which we are blind to ourselves, namely, when shifting from one phenomenal self-model or "unit of identification" (UI) to the next. Alluding to the well-studied phenomenon of the attentional blink (Raymond, Shapiro, and Arnell, 1992, Shapiro, Raymond, and Arnell, 1997), the notion of a "self-representational blink" refers to the fact that we are typically not able to consciously experience the actual moment of transition from mindful, present-oriented self-awareness to the identification with the "protagonist" of a daydream, the content of the self-model in autobiographical planning, etc. Phenomenologically, the SRB is characterized by a brief loss of self-awareness, followed by an involuntary shift in the phenomenal UI; functionally, we can describe it as a failure of attentional and/or cognitive self-control. The empirical prediction is that subjects should be blind to self-related stimuli during the SRB, and my main hope is that the audience can help in developing novel experimental paradigms to test this hypothesis. If time allows, I will also take a closer look at the concept of "mental action" in the second part. Can we conceptually accommodate mental actions under a predictive processing approach? My main positive claim will be that mental action is the predictive control of effective connectivity, where what is predicted is the epistemic value of states integrated into the phenomenal self-model under counterfactual outcomes. We are looking forward to see you at the talk!

[Koglist] tudományos tudás és üzleti szemlélet Re: Elhunyt Eugene Garfield

by Nagypál László

Kedves Listaolvasók! Kérdezném a személyes véleményüket, hogy milyen szerepe van ma az üzleti szemléletnek a tudományos teljesítmények mérésében. Melyek az előnyei, és milyen esetleges hátrányai, netalán torzító hatásai jelentkezhetnek ennek manapság az egyes tudományterületeken? Tudom, hogy a témakör hatalmas és szerteágazó, de érdekelne a könyvtárosok és a szaktudományok kutatóinak véleménye is. Teljesen kívülálló, laikus vagyok, és semmiben sem szeretném megkérdőjelezni E. Garfield (tudományos és üzleti) teljesítményeit. Üdvözlettel: NpL ________________________________ Feladó: Katalist <katalist-bounces(a)listserv.niif.hu>, meghatalmazó: Fazekas Andrea <a.fazekas(a)richter.hu> Elküldve: 2017. március 2. 17:27 Címzett: Katalist Tárgy: [KATALIST] Elhunyt Eugene Garfield Tisztelt kollégák! Szakmánk egyik óriása, Eugene Garfield elhunyt 2017. február 26-án. Az International Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics elnöke tette közzé a hírt egy listán. Ez az egyesület biztosan másmilyen lenne, ha Garfield nem alkotja meg az idézettségen alapuló adatbázist, ha nem alapítja meg az Institute for Scientific Information céget 1960-ban. Innovatív elgondolásai és üzleti szemlélete nélkül vajon hogyan értékelnék ma a kutatókat, milyen tudományos mérőszámok lennének az impakt faktor helyett? Számtalan meghatározó ideája vitte előbbre a könyvtár- és információtudományt. Garfield oly szerteágazó tevékenységet végzett, hogy még nem jelentek meg az átfogó méltatások. Ajánlom honlapját a http://www.garfield.library.upenn.edu/ címen, továbbá a vele készült hosszú riport egy részletét a Current Contents kezdeteiről - https://www.webofstories.com/play/eugene.garfield/29 [https://d3qf61oza7ty3z.cloudfront.net/images/1217/1217.jpg]<https://www.webofstories.com/play/eugene.garfield/29> The genesis of "Current Contents"<https://www.webofstories.com/play/eugene.garfield/29> www.webofstories.com " Eugene Garfield, Ph.D. - Home Page<http://www.garfield.library.upenn.edu/> www.garfield.library.upenn.edu The Web Site of Eugene Garfield, Ph D, Information Scientist, founder of The Institute for Scientific Information, Editcontent= Üdvözlettel: Fazekas Andrea
