BBS Call for Commentary Proposals: Cramer et al.

by Behavioral and Brain Sciences

Dear Dr. Qwerty: When a target article or recent book has been accepted for BBS Commentary, the editorial office sends out the Call for Commentary Proposals to thousands of people. Commentary Proposals help the BBS Editors craft a well-balanced commentary invitation list. If this target article interests you as a possible subject for commentary, please download the full pre-print to see if you would like to propose a commentary. If you are interested please follow the instructions below the target article information. Please keep in mind that we are not asking you to submit a commentary -- but rather, a short proposal in order to be considered as an invited author after the proposal deadline. Please also be aware that we typically get far more proposals than we can accept. NOW ACCEPTING COMMENTARY PROPOSALS ON: Target Article: "Comorbidity: A network perspective" Author: Angelique Cramer, Lourens J. Waldorp, Han L. J. van der Maas, Denny Borsboom Deadline for proposals: December 30, 2009 Abstract: The pivotal problem of comorbidity research lies in the psychometric foundation it rests on, i.e., latent variable theory, in which a mental disorder is viewed as a latent variable that causes a constellation of symptoms. From this perspective, comorbidity is a (bi)directional relationship between multiple latent variables. We argue that such a latent variable perspective encounters serious problems in the study of comorbidity, and offer a radically different conceptualization in terms of a network approach, where comorbidity is hypothesized to arise from direct relations between symptoms of multiple disorders. We propose a method to visualize comorbidity networks and, based on an empirical network for major depression and generalized anxiety, argue that this approach generates realistic hypotheses about pathways to comorbidity, overlapping symptoms, and diagnostic boundaries, that are not naturally accommodated by latent variable models: some pathways to comorbidity through the symptom space are more likely than others, those pathways generally have the same direction (i.e., from symptoms of one disorder to symptoms of the other), overlapping symptoms play an important role in comorbidity, and boundaries between diagnostic categories are necessarily fuzzy. Keywords: comorbidity, latent variable models, complex networks, major depression, generalized anxiety Download target article pre-print: http://journals.cambridge.org/BBSJournal/Call/Cramer_preprint COMMENTARY PROPOSALS MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING 1. What aspect of the target article or book you would anticipate commenting upon. 2. The relevant expertise you would bring to bear on the target article or book. Please include names and affiliations of your co-authors if applicable. SUGGESTING COMMENTATORS AND NOMINATING BBS ASSOCIATES Commentators must be BBS Associates, or suggested by a BBS Associate. If you are not a BBS Associate, please follow the instructions below. To suggest others as possible Commentators, or to nominate others for BBS Associateship status, please email bbsjournal(a)cambridge.org. http://journals.cambridge.org/BBSJournal/Inst/Assoc HOW TO SUBMIT A COMMENTARY PROPOSAL If you would like to nominate yourself for potential commentary invitation, you must submit a Commentary Proposal via our BBS Editorial Manager site: 1. Log-in as Author Username: CQwerty-545 Password: Qwerty875632 Log-in to your BBS Editorial Manager account as an author: http://www.editorialmanager.com/bbs. If you do not have an account, please visit the site and register. You can also submit a request for missing username and password information if you have an existing account. 2. Submit New Manuscript Within your author main menu please select Submit New Manuscript. 3. Select Article Type Choose the article type of your manuscript from the pull-down menu. Commentary Proposal article types are temporarily created for each accepted target article or book. Only select the Commentary Proposal article type that you wish to submit a proposal on. For example; "Commentary Proposal (Cramer)" 4. Enter Title Please title your proposal submission by indicating the relevant first author name of the target article or book. For example; "Commentary Proposal on Cramer et al." 5. Add Co-Authors If you are proposing to write a commentary with any co-authors, please enter their required information here. These potential co-authors need not contribute to the Commentary Proposal itself. 6. Attach Files The only required submission Item is your Commentary Proposal in MSWord or RTF format. In the Description field please add the first author name of the target article or book. For example; "Commentary Proposal on Cramer et al." 7. Approve Your Submission Editorial Manager will process your Commentary Proposal submission and will create a PDF for your approval. On the 'Submissions Waiting for Author's Approval' page, you can view your PDF, edit, approve, or remove the submission. Once you have Approved the Submission, the PDF will be sent to the editorial office. **It is VERY important that you check the and approve your Commentary Proposal manuscript as described above. Otherwise, we cannot process your submission.** Note: If you have designated a different Corresponding Author, only the new Corresponding Author will have access to the PDF and must log-in to the system in order to approve the PDF. 8. Editorial Office Decision At the conclusion of the Commentary Proposal period, the editors will review all the submitted Commentary Proposals. An undetermined number of Commentary Proposals will be approved and those author names will be added to the final commentary invitation list. At that time you will be notified of the decision. If you are formally invited to submit a commentary, you will be asked to confirm your intention to submit by the commentary deadline. Note: Before the commentary invitations are sent, the copy-edited and revised target article will be posted for invitees. In the case of Multiple Book Review, invitees will be sent a copy of the book to be commented upon if requested. With Multiple Book Reviews, it is the book, not the Précis article that is the target of commentary. Please do not write a commentary unless you have received an official invitation! SPECIAL NOTE Since this is our first year on Editorial Manager, we would like your feedback regarding how the process could be improved. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. BEING REMOVED FROM THE CALL EMAIL LIST If you DO NOT wish to receive Call for Commentary Proposals in the future, please reply to bbsjournal(a)cambridge.org, and type "remove" in the subject line. Sincerely, Ralph DeMarco Editorial Administrator, BBS Associate Editor, STM Journals Cambridge University Press 32 Avenue of the Americas New York, NY 10013-2473 Tel 001 212.337.5016 bbsjournal(a)cambridge.org http://journals.cambridge.org/bbs http://bbs.edmgr.com/

Reminder: CDC seminar on WEDNESDAY

by Agnes Kovacs

Dear All, The next CDC seminar will be on Wednesday, December 2, 5.00pm Barnabás Takács (Computer Science, BME): "Virtual Faces & Environments - Medicine, Psychology, Cognition" CEU Cognitive Development Center Hattyuhaz, Level 3, Hattyu u. 14., 1015 Budapest Map: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1015+Budapest,+Budapest,+Hattyu+utca+14,+Hung… Everyone is welcome to attend. Our seminars start on time and we may not be able to let latecomers in. Abstract: To mimic the quality of everyday human communication and better understand underlying processes, future research tools for psychology and cognitive science may need to combine the benefits of high visual fidelity animated digital faces with low level sensory intelligence and the ability to modulate the attention and emotions of their users in a personalized manner. Virtual human technology, computer graphics and digital perception have made considerable advancements during the past decades leading the way to create a humanoid interface that works by utilizing more natural means of interaction, including gestures, non-verbal cues and body language complemented by data from novel computer devices, such as biofeedback, eye tracking, low-cost motion sensors and analysis tools, etc. >From a psychological and cognitive perspective digitally animated faces require the ability to create believable digital humans capable of expressing the finest shades of emotions in a controllable manner. In addition, the same system must also be able to read the users’ emotional reactions and adapt the behavior of the digital human accordingly in real-time. We implemented this concept as a step towards creating a novel solution called the Virtual Human Interface (VHI). The VHI builds upon many years of interdisciplinary research to create a closed-loop model of interaction whereas the user’s internal state (emotion, level of attention, etc.) is constantly monitored and driven directly by the animated character with the purpose of focusing attention and perhaps creating emotional bonding. This link between user and computer then acts, we hope, as a catalyst to help turning information into knowledge. In other words, our advanced user interface draws on subtle facial and emotions to help its users in the interaction process while intelligently tailoring its workload. About the presenter Barnabas Takacs (PhD. 97, M.Sci’94) is a computer scientist with a varied field of expertise in facial information processing, computer graphics, human modeling and animation, virtual reality and interactive immersive media. He has published over 70 scientific and technical papers. He has spent much of his carrier on developing cutting edge technology for a variety of companies starting in 1999, when as the Director of Research of VCP, a Los Angeles-based animation company he has lead the effort to develop a novel animation technology, called Digital Cloning. DC for the fist time, used computer animation to create believable CG-humans for the film industry. Subsequently, he founded Digital Elite Inc. (www.DigitalElite.US.com) to bring these technologies to the realm of real-time, interactive characters. Digital Elite’s technology was the foundation for many high-end projects, including image-guided ultrasound diagnosis and operating room of the future (Harvard BWH), a virtual child for autistic children (Catholic University of America), 3D real-time MMW radar (WaveBand / GulfStream), and the Cyber Care Clinique system used for cognitive-, psychiatric- and physiotherapeutic rehabilitation. His current work involves developing advanced facial interfaces and on-demand virtual-reality deployed in a variety of applications including mobile communication and entertainment (www.PanoCAST.com), health care (www.VirMed.net) as well as education & advanced virtual training. Upon his return to Hungary Dr. Takacs created the Virtual Human Interface Group (VHI) at MTA SZTAKI, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (www.vhi.sztaki.hu), prior to joining the Technical University of Budapest (BME), his current position, where heads the recently founded Immersive Interactive Media & Virtual Reality Center.

reminder: Factive Pictorial Experience: what is really special about photographs? - 1 December 4.30 PM

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Philosophy Department cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Rob Hopkins (University of Sheffield)) on Factive Pictorial Experience: what is really special about photographs? Tuesday, 1 December 2009, 4.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT What is special about photographs? Traditional photography is, I argue, a system that sustains factive pictorial experience. Photographs sustain pictorial experience: we see things in them. Further, that experience is factive: if such-and-such is seen in a photograph, then such-and-such obtained when the photo was taken. More precisely, photographs are designed to sustain factive pictorial experience, and that experience is what we have when, in the photographic system as a whole, everything works as it is supposed to. In this respect photographs differ from handmade pictures. This distinctive feature can be used to explain what is epistemically special about photographs, and also to give an account of the distinctive phenomenology of looking at a photograph rather than a handmade picture. All this provides the background against which to assess claims that digital photography differs from traditional in certain key ways.
