Dear Cognitive Folks,
The next Fluencia Party will be on 21th April (Thursday) starting at 8.00pm
at Ankert.
Info: https://www.facebook.com/events/223676404661032/
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 is 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

We would like to remind you about our next event from the ELTE Cognitive
Seminar series:
*Skyla Herod*
*Behavioral and neuroendocrine profiles of response to early life stress in
serotonin transporter knockout (SERT-KO) mice*
Place: ELTE-PPK, Institute of Psychology, Izabella utca 46, room P3
Time: April 21st, 2016 (Thursday), 17:00
Summary:
The serotonin transporter gene (Slc6a4) is associated with several
psychiatric and neurodevelopment disorders, including depression, anxiety,
autism, and schizophrenia. In this genetic knockout mouse line, deletion of
the Slc6a4 gene mimics the serotonergic functioning of these clinical
conditions. In this study, we characterize the behavioral profiles of these
mice, that have been exposed to early adolescent stress with and without
maternal presence, in an attempt to describe what happens when genetic and
environmental risk factors for these disorders are compounded.
Corticosterone response to stress as measured in mouse hair is described,
as part of a validation study to measure glucocorticoid levels using this
non-invasive technique in laboratory animals.
Host: dr. Ildikó Király

How Infants Learn Language Using Speech Rhythm and Neuronal Oscillations
Young children spontaneously develop awareness of "big" phonological (speech sound) units such as prosodic stress patterns, syllables and rhymes. By 7.5 months, infants can use prosodic rhythm (motifs of strong and weak syllables) to segment words from continuous speech. This is a complex feat of speech engineering, requiring the child to "hack" the acoustic signal for its implicit phonological structure. In this talk, I will present converging computational and experimental evidence which suggests that infants could perform this feat through speech-to-brain coupling. This a process by which endogenous neuronal oscillations in the cortex entrain to a temporally-matched hierarchy of rhythmic patterns in the speech signal. Nursery rhymes and other forms of infant-directed speech have an enhanced and exaggerated rhythmic architecture which provides a rich substrate for acoustic-phonological extraction by the infant brain. Finally, I will provide preliminary evidence that brain-to-brain coupling between adults and infants could provide an early neural mechanism for the development of joint attention, which plays a important social modulatory role in early language learning.

The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to aToPHSS Lecture
by
Heather Douglas (University of Waterloo)
on
Jettisoning the Value-Free Ideal: Why do it and where does it leave us?
30 March, 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM, Room: Faculty Tower/608.
ABSTRACT
First, I will provide an overview of the arguments for getting rid of the value-free ideal for science. But more interesting is what comes next. This raises questions regarding both alternative ideals (what should constrain reasoning practices in science?) and the social location of science (what role does science play in society and what role should it play?). I will describe some advantages to particular replacement ideals, and address the question of how we should be thinking about science in society.
"ToPHSS Lectures are part of the project “Topics in the Philosophy of the Human and Social Sciences”, funded by the Humanities Initiative. The project aims to cross boundaries between disciplines of the humanities and social sciences concerned with ‘the human’, that is with human beings, humanity, society, culture, history, and more. It focuses on methodological and ontological issues, in particular on those concerned with contested categories of the humanities and social sciences, and of those primarily on the categories of human, individual and person. This term the first focus is on the contested divide between nature and culture."
