[koglist] reminder: invitation to a talk on`Nerve and analysis -- conceptual analysis in neuroscience`by Istvan Aranyosi - 21 May, 5.30 PM

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to a talk by István Aranyosi (Bilkent University) on `Nerve and analysis -- conceptual analysis in neuroscience` Tuesday, 21 May, 2013, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT Contemporary philosophers of mind tend to subscribe to a dichotomy between so-called empirical and so-called analytic or a priori methods of philosophical research, which, in their view, leads to a current chasm: Armchair versus Empirical philosophy of mind. I argue that this is a false dichotomy and the idea of a chasm is misplaced. I will base my argument on the early history (19th and early 20th Century) of neuroscience, namely, the birth experimental neurophysiology, where we can identify an essential a priori component in scientific reasoning. I then apply those pieces of reasoning to some extant problems in the philosophy of mind, thus offering some elegant solutions to them.

[koglist] Invitation - BME Cognitive Seminar Series / Meghívó - BME Kognitív Szemináriumsorozat

by Attila Keresztes

We cordially invite you to the next lecture of the BME Cognitive Seminar Series: Date & Time: May 27, Monday, 12:00-13:00 Location: BME, XI., Egry József utca 1., T. ép 515. *Sensory prediction and the sense of agency during individual and joint action* *John Dewey* Central European University, Budapest, Hungary Abstract During voluntary action, forward models in the brain pre-activate representations of the predicted sensory consequences. These forward models are believed to play important roles in motor control and the sense of agency (SoA), i.e. registration that one was the initiator or controller of the action. The majority of the literature on sensory prediction and its relation to SoA has focused on individual actions. By contrast, there has been relatively little work on sensory prediction and SoA when the sensory consequences of actions are multiply determined by several simultaneous influences. In this talk, I will present an overview of current theories linking SoA to sensory prediction in the context of individual action. Then I will present some evidence from my recent work suggesting that in the context of cooperative joint action (e.g. controlling a moving object together with another person), the tight relationship between sensory prediction and SoA begins to break down. I will argue for a hierarchical account of SoA, where SoA is determined by a combination of low-level sensorimotor cues and successful attainment of higher level goals. -- Attila Keresztes Junior Research Fellow Budapest University of Technology and Economics Dept. of Cognitive Science, Egry József u. 1, Budapest 1111, Hungary Tel: +36 1 4633525

[koglist] Emlékeztető - Kognitív Péntek (hétfőn) - Somogyi Eszter

by Kocsis Éva

Kedves Kollégák! A Kognitív Péntek előadás-sorozat keretébenSomogyi Eszter tart előadást Generalising beliefs to human and non-human agents címmel. Az esemény házigazdája: Király Ildikó. Időpont: 2013. április 29. (hétfő) 15.30h Helyszín: ELTE PPK Pszichológiai Intézet, Budapest, Izabella u. 46., 216-os terem Szeretettel várunk Mindenkit! https://sites.google.com/site/eltekognitiv/home/elte-kognitiv-pentek *Abstract * *Generalising beliefs to human and non-human agents* ** *How do young infants perceive robotic agents?* ** ** ** *Recent findings suggest that infants understand others' preferential choice and can use the perspectives and beliefs of others to interpret their actions. The standard interpretation in the field is that infants understand preferential choice as a dispositional state of the agent. It is possible, however, that these social situations trigger the acquisition of more general, not necessarily an integrated person-specific knowledge. * ** *The studies presented in the lecture focus on determining agent behaviours that trigger learning on behalf of the infant. We propose that independently of an agent's nature, human or non-human, it is the agent's behaviour that will trigger learning about the objects involved in the agents' actions. For instance, a robot that shows its ability to communicate or shows other behaviours, like choice making or perceptual processing may very well share a human's perspective even in very young infants' eyes. * ** ** **
