[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER -- CEU Departamental Colloquium, Nov 23, Sid Kouider (ENS) -- Neural signatures of perceptual consciousness, predictive coding and metacognitive sensitivity in infants

by Barbara Pomiechowska

Dear All, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science gently reminds about its tomorrow's talk by: *Dr. Sid Kouider (ENS)* [web <http://www.lscp.net/persons/sidk/>] *Title:** Neural signatures of perceptual consciousness, predictive coding and metacognitive sensitivity in infants* *Date*: Wednesday, 23 November 2016 *Time:* 17:00-18:30 *Location*: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 st. 7, room 101 *Abstract:* My talk will focus on whether and how infants 1) experience perceptual consciousness, 2) rely on bayesian inference to monitor surprising events in their environment, and 3) rely on metacognitive sensitivity to monitor decision confidence and detect their own errors. I will first describe how one can test for perceptual consciousness in infants by relying on neural signatures validated in adult populations. Our studies confirm the presence of these neural signatures in 5 to 15 month-old infants, but also reveal that their temporal dynamics are extremely slow compared to adult populations. Secondly, I will describe how EEG recordings combined with cross-modal cueing paradigms can be used to track the impact of predictions on the infant visual brain. Our results reveal that the infants brain deals with predictive codes using two distinct modes: first, by enhancing the gain of sensory signals for expected events, and then by triggering global responses to surprising events. Finally, I will show how post-decision behaviors and error-related electrophysiological signatures can be used to probe confidence and error monitoring in infants. Our results reveal that although explicit forms of metacognition might mature later during childhood, the core, implicit mechanisms of metacognitive sensitivity are already at play during the first year of life. I will conclude on perspectives for learning and education. We are looking forward to see you.

[Koglist] Fwd: [Ganglion] COFEES - cortical feedback spring school

by Gyula Kovacs

COFEES – COrtical FEEdback Spring School 06.03.2017-09.03.2017, Jena, Germany REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN; PRELIMINARY PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE ONLINE The dominant view on the cortical neural processing for a very long time was that the incoming sensory information is passed to higher order processing units within a strongly hierarchical cascade. Such systems are typically dominated by the feedforward or bottom-up connections and complemented by heavy lateral connections between units of the similar hierarchical levels. However, the importance of cortical feedback connections, rooting in higher-level areas and targeting lower-level ones is demonstrated by extensive works in anatomy, neurophysiology and specifically in brain imaging in the last two decades. It is generally accepted that these feedback connections convey several modulatory effects, higher-order representations and also have strong cognitive influences on the earlier processing units. Top-down effect include, among others, the influence of spatial and temporal contexts, of attention, predictions and expectations, learning and memory, as well as task and motor behavior related changes on the lower-level processing stages. In the last decades feedback mechanisms became a widely studied phenomenon in systemic and cognitive neurosciences as well as in cognitive and experimental psychology. The aim of COFEES is to bring together eminent researchers from the USA, the UK, and Europe with students of a broad range of disciplines to teach and discuss current views on feed-back related mechanisms. The speakers are experts in clinical, computational, single-cell, EEG/MEG/ERP and neuroimaging studies. We expect that COFEES will give a unique opportunity to present, discuss, and integrate cutting-edge research on this important phenomenon of the CNS. 1 intensive week of training with 16 speakers from 7 countries for 40 students as a maximum The Friedrich Schiller University, Jena organizes a Spring School aimed at PhD students and post-docs at the early stages in their careers. Places are limited to ensure good interaction in classes. COFEES will take place at the Friedrich Schiller University, Jena, Germany between 06-09 March 2017. It will consist of an intensive week of lectures with two keynotes, a student-oriented poster session and a round-table discussion. Lecturers are renowned researchers from the most active research groups in their fields. A list of invited lecturers and the program of the summer school are available on summer school website: http://www.cogsci.uni-jena.de/COFEES.html <http://www.cogsci.uni-jena.de/COFEES.html> In addition to the academic content, COFEES provides a networking opportunity for students to interact with their peers, and to make contacts among those who will be the active researchers of their own generation. § Important Dates: Registration is open from now. Registration deadline: 31 DEC 2016. Summer school: Monday 06 Marc - Thursday 09 March 2017 § Registration fee: 100 Euro. It includes all sessions and materials, accommodation (5 nights), lunches, refreshments and coffee, finger-foods and wine during poster session and round table discussion, Spring School Dinner. § Confirmed Speakers: Keynote speakers: Sabine Kastner (Princeton, NJ, USA) Pascal Fries (ESI, Frankfurt, D) Board: Moshe Bar (Bar Ilan Univ, Ramat-Gan, Il) Mark Greenlee (Univ.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CEU CDC seminar: Ilona Kovács, Wednesday, November 16

by Andrea Schrok

> The next talk in the CDC Seminar series will by given by: > > Ilona Kovács > Institute of Psychology, Péter Pázmány Catholic University, Budapest > > Date: Wednesday, November 16, 2016 > Time: 5:00pm to 6.30pm > Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Room 101, Október 6. utca 7., 1051 > > Title: Sleep, the Achilles' Heel of brain development > > Abstract: > Among the chief causes of developmental disabilities are genetic conditions, prenatal or perinatal injuries, diseases, poverty and cultural deprivation. Research has been mainly focused on addressing each of these factors separately, characterizing how they might determine different types of maladaptive behaviors. We suggest that sleep, the Achilles' Heel of brain development might shape the individual's ability to improve basic procedural (perceptual and motor) skills in order to compensate for the above mentioned handicaps. This hypothesis is supported by our developmental and clinical studies carried out on people living with Williams Syndrome. > > Cognitive Science Events at CEU: http://cognitivescience.ceu.hu/events > > > ______________________________________________ > Subscribe by sending an empty mail to talks-subscribe(a)cogsci.ceu.edu > > Unsubscribe by sending an empty mail to talks-unsubscribe(a)cogsci.ceu.edu ______________________________________________ Subscribe by sending an empty mail to talks-subscribe(a)cogsci.ceu.edu Unsubscribe by sending an empty mail to talks-unsubscribe(a)cogsci.ceu.edu

Early registration deadline is 15 November, 2016 – midnight! Please fill in the registration form as soon as possible on the below link: -->>Online registration <http://hirlevelcenter.eu/click.php?hirlevel_id=14791402598804&url=http%3A%2…> TOBII WORKSHOPS In the morning of 5th January we will have two Tobii workshops - one for beginners and one for advanced users. *More information about registration will be given till the end of this week on the website!* Please find below the content of the workshops: *Eye tracking in developmental studies: Introduction to basic and advanced methodology in two workshops* Eye tracking plays an important role in gathering data about how infants and children interact with the people and the world around them. Successful studies require attention and care to obtain reliable data and properly process and analyze. We offer two workshops for participants of different level of experience and knowledge in the field. We will discuss, in the respective level, common paradigms, best practices for high quality studies and factors involved in decreasing eye tracking data quality and common approaches to minimize them. *08:45 – 10:15 Workshop for New users* In our first session we invite those who have not used eye tracking before, or have beginner-type experience. We will present common paradigms used in infant research, possible experimental design issues related to eye-tracking experiments and best practices when working with infants and young children. Participants will have the chance to try out Tobii Pro’s remote and wearable eye trackers and the different eye tracking software. *10:30 – 12:00 Workshop for Advanced users* We invite researchers who have experience with eye tracking and wish to learn more on some more detailed topics into data quality, validation, fixation filters, gaze contingent paradigms and other. We invite participants to contribute to the workshop in advance with topics and questions, so that the workshop delivers the most useful information. The workshop will offer hands-on time with Tobii Pro’s wearable and remote systems and software. *About Tobii Pro:* Tobii Pro eye trackers are known for their exceptional tolerance of substantial, dynamic head movement which allows for minimal restrictions on the subjects' natural actions. This makes them ideal for infant and child studies, as well as atypical populations.
