I am contacting you with a request to circulate the announcement about
Central European University's summer school (June 22-July 31, 2015,
Budapest, Hungary), which invites application from graduate students,
junior or post-doctoral researchers, faculty and professionals. Course
descriptions and detailed information about the application procedure,
financial aid, etc. are available at http://www.summer.ceu.hu .
We’d be grateful if you could forward this email to those potentially
interested in our summer school (individuals, listservs, electronic

humanities. The summer school draws its student body of around 500
participants annually from more than 90 countries and its faculty from
over 30 countries.
In 2015 the summer school offers 20 high-level, research-oriented,
interdisciplinary academic courses as well as workshops on policy issues
for professional development, taught by internationally renowned
scholars and policy experts (including CEU faculty). Application from
all over the world is encouraged. Financial aid is available.
The general application deadline is February 14, 2015. More information
about the application process is available at the relevant course web

Adolf Lindenbaum: Notes on his Life, with Bibliography and Selected
References, Logica Universalis, 8, Dec 2014 (Open Access)
Jan Zygmunt and Robert Purdy
This paper is dedicated to Adolf Lindenbaum (1904–1941)—Polish Jewish
mathematician and logician; a member of the Warsaw school of mathematics
under Waclaw Sierpinski and Stefan Mazurkiewicz and school of mathematical
logic under Jan Lukasiewicz and Stanislaw Lesniewski; and Alfred
Tarski’s closest collaborator of the inter-war period.
Our paper is divided into three main parts. The first part is biographical
and narrative in character. It gathers together what little is known of
Lindenbaum’s short life. The second part is a bibliography of Lindenbaum’s
published output, including his public lectures. Our aim there is to be
complete and definitive. The third part is a list of selected references
in the literature attesting to his unpublished results and delineating
their extent

Dear All,
The next talk in the CEU Cognitive Science seminar series will by given by:
Chiara Turati (University of Milano-Bicocca):
Date: Wednesday, December 10, 2014, 5 PM
Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Frankel Leó út 30-34., Room G15
Title: At the origins of mirror mechanisms: Evidence from action and emotion understanding in infancy and early childhood
Recent models consider development as gradually emerging from the reciprocal and dynamic interactions between innate predispositions and the structure of the input provided by the environment. Nonetheless, the debate about the development of mirror mechanisms is still almost confined in a strict nature vs nurture dichotomy. The talk describes a series of studies, with preverbal infants and preschool-age children, in which behavioral (visual preference, eye-tracking) and neurophysiological (EEG, EMG) measures were recorded in response to the observation of actions or emotions displayed by others. Our results suggest that (i) motor resonance effects induced by others' actions emerge gradually during the first year of life, (ii) newborn infants possess some inborn predispositions that guide their perception of body part movements relevant for action, such as hand gestures, (iii) visuo-motor experience plays an important role in infants’ visual response to hand actions, but cannot be considered as the sole dimension affecting infants’ action understanding, (iv) human action sounds elicit specific EEG responses in 7-month-old infants, and (v) 3-year-olds’ motor system is recruited for the processing of emotional expressions. Implications of these results for the early understanding of others’ actions and emotions are discussed.
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.
