Dear All,
The next talk in the CEU Cognitive Science seminar series will by given by:
Riccardo Fusaroli (Aarhus University)
Date: Wednesday, April 29, 2015, 5 PM
NEW Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, 1st floor, room 101.
Title: What does it take to collaborate? The role of heart, words and skills in interpersonal synergies
What does it take to collaborate? In this talk I will cover three empirical studies investigating interpersonal coordinative dynamics at very diverse levels, all inspired by the model of interpersonal synergies. In the first study I will discuss the role of heart rate entrainment in group collaborations and the mechanisms supporting it. In the second study, the role of linguistic alignment in a joint decision task. Finally, I will cover cognitive diversity in a collaborative Scrabble-like task.
PLEASE NOTE: Our seminar room has a limited capacity. Please arrive early to ensure you get a seat. The talk will begin promptly at 5.

also keen to encourage our own promising UEL students. All academic &
research staff are asked to encourage promising UEL students who maybe
considering studying a PhD, to apply.
The Excellence Studentships are to include a full stipendiary living
allowance, starting at £16,057 for 2015/16, in addition to a £2,000
training bursary. Full details, including how to submit an informal
enquiry or formal application, can be found at
http://www.uel.ac.uk/studentships.
Queries about the application process and from any prospective
applicants should be directed to Ben Whitham, in the Graduate School, in
the first instance (b.whitham(a)uel.ac.uk

Simple heuristics in a social world
The social world is a terrain where humans and other animals compete
with conspecifics for myriad resources, including food, mates, and
status, and where rivals grant the decision maker little time for deep
thought, protracted information search, or complex calculations. Yet the
social world also encompasses domains where social animals such as
humans can learn from and forge alliances with one another to boost
their chances of success. According to the talk’s thesis, the undeniable
complexity of the social world does not dictate cognitive complexity as
many scholars of rationality argue. Rather, it renders optimization
impossible or computationally arduous through intractability, the
existence of incommensurable considerations, and competing goals. With
optimization beyond reach, less can be more. That is, heuristics—simple
strategies for making decisions when time is pressing and careful
deliberation an unaffordable luxury—become indispensible mental tools of
social rationality. The Homo Socialis may prove to be a Homo Heuristicus
whose intelligence reflects ecological rather than logical rationality.
Drawing from different domains such as parental investment, strategic
games, and medical decision-making, I will discuss how social heuristics
can make us smart and also point out some of their limitations.

In my talk I will discuss vocal production mechanisms and the function
of infrasonic vocalizations and will further focus on the vocal learning
ability of elephants, it’s neural bases and potential adaptive context.

Subject: [PhilPhys] Final Call for Applications: Doctoral Fellowship at the
MCMP (LMU Munich)
Date: Tuesday, April 14, 2015, 12:50:42

To: esap-news(a)yahoogroups.com, PhilPhys <philphys(a)phil.elte.hu>, Philosop
<PHILOSOP(a)louisiana.edu>, PHILOS-L(a)LISTSERV.LIV.AC.UK, Hopos-l <HOPOS-
L(a)LISTSERV.VT.EDU>
The Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP, http://lmu.de/mcmp)
and the Chair of Philosophy of Science at the Faculty of Philosophy,
Philosophy of Science and Study of Religion at LMU Munich seek
applications for a Doctoral Fellowship. The successful candidate has a
background in cognitive science or philosophy and works on problems from
the psychology of reasoning, judgment or decision-making. She or he will
be part of a team of philosophers and psychologists led by Ulrike Hahn
(Birkbeck and MCMP) and Stephan Hartmann (MCMP). The fellowship is
sponsored by Ulrike Hahn?s Anneliese Maier Research Award from the
Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
The fellowship is open for candidates with a masters degree in
philosophy or psychology. The stipend is for three years, and it should
be taken up by October 1, 2015, but a later starting date is also
possible. (Please let us know if you wish to start at a later date.) The
stipend will amount to EUR 1500 of monthly salary (normally tax-free,
but excluding insurance). Additionally, the MCMP helps its fellows with
the costs that arise from attending conferences (fees,
traveling, accommodation).
Applications (including a cover letter that addresses, amongst others,
one's academic background and research interests, a CV, a list of
publications, a list of taught courses, a sample of written work of
no more than 5000 words, and a description of a planned research project
of 1000-1500 words) should be sent by email (ideally everything
requested in one PDF document) to office.hartmann(a)lrz.uni
<mailto:office.hartmann@lrz.uni>-muenchen.de <http://muenchen.de/> by
April 22, 2015. Hard copy applications are not accepted. Additionally,
one confidential letter of reference addressing the applicant's
qualifications for academic research should be sent to the same address
from the referee directly.
The MCMP hosts a vibrant research community of faculty, postdoctoral
fellows, doctoral fellows, master students, and visiting fellows. It
organizes at least two weekly colloquia and a weekly internal work
in-progress seminar, as well as various other activities such as
workshops, conferences, summer schools, and reading groups. Several of
our research projects are conducted in collaboration with scientists.
The successful candidate will partake in all of MCMP's academic
activities and enjoy its administrative facilities and financial
support. The official language at the MCMP is English and fluency in
German is not mandatory.
We especially encourage female scholars to apply. The LMU in general,
and the MCMP in particular, endeavor to raise the percentage of women
among its academic personnel. Furthermore, given equal qualification,
preference will be given to candidates with disabilities.
Contact for informal inquiries: Professor Ulrike Hahn (U.Hahn(a)bbk.ac.uk
