Byrne/The Rational Imagination: BBS Call for Commentators

by Behavioral & Brain Sciences

Dear Dr. Qwerty, ================================================================== BBS MULTIPLE BOOK REVIEW -- CALL RESPONSE INSTRUCTIONS ================================================================== Please DO NOT respond to this email. If you wish to submit a proposal for commentary and/or suggest potential commentators, please go to the new Online Commentary Proposal System at the following URL: http://www.bbsonline.org/perl/commentary/commproposal?authordir=Byrne-04032… * If you only wish to suggest potential commentators, please ignore prompts to submit a proposal with expertise information. * If you experience technical difficulties, please email bbs(a)bbsonline.org. * Please respond to this Call no later than May 14, 2007 NOTE: Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS) is an international, interdisciplinary journal providing Open Peer Commentary on important and controversial current research in the biobehavioral and cognitive sciences. Commentators must be BBS Associates, or suggested by a BBS Associate. If you are not a BBS Associate, please follow the instructions linked below: http://www.bbsonline.org/Instructions/associnst.html ================================================================== ** Multiple Book Review Information ** ================================================================== Below is a link to the forthcoming précis of a book accepted for Multiple Book Review in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS). Please note that it is the *BOOK*, not the precis, that is to be reviewed. PRECIS OF: The Rational Imagination: How People Create Alternatives to Reality AUTHOR: Ruth M. J. Byrne, Trinity College Dublin ABSTRACT: The human imagination remains one of the last uncharted terrains of the mind. People often imagine how events might have turned out if only something had been different. The fault lines of reality, those aspects more readily changed, indicate that counterfactual thoughts are guided by the same principles as rational thoughts. In the past, rationality and imagination have been viewed as opposites. But research has shown that rational thought is more imaginative than cognitive scientists had supposed. In The Rational Imagination, I argue that imaginative thought is more rational than scientists have imagined. People exhibit remarkable similarities in the sorts of things they change in their mental representation of reality when they imagine how the facts could have turned out differently. For example, they tend to imagine alternatives to actions rather than inactions, events within their control rather than those beyond their control, and socially unacceptable events rather than acceptable ones. Their thoughts about how an event might have turned out differently lead them to judge that a strong causal relation exists between an antecedent event and the outcome, and their thoughts about how an event might have turned out the same lead them to judge that a weaker causal relation exists. In a simple temporal sequence, people tend to imagine alternatives to the most recent event. The central claim in the book is that counterfactual thoughts are organized along the same principles as rational thought. The idea that the counterfactual imagination is rational depends on three steps: humans are capable of rational thought; they make inferences by thinking about possibilities; and their counterfactual thoughts rely on thinking about possibilities, just as rational thoughts do. The sorts of possibilities that people envisage explain the mutability of certain aspects of mental representations and the immutability of other aspects.

Leymarie talk

by Kovacs Ilona

All are welcome to the following talk: Frederic Fol Leymarie Dept of Computing, Goldsmiths College, University of London, UK 3D shape representation via Medial Scaffolds --- theory and applications 2007, május 10 - 10:00 óra BME, Stoczek u. 2. ST épület, III. em 320. Abstract: I will describe elements of a shape language for 3D objects and space. This early version of a shape language builds on the work and collaboration from the fields of Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computational Geometry, Visual Perception, Arts and the Humanities. It is based on a representation for shapes taking the form of graphs, called "shock graphs" in 2D and "shock and medial scaffolds" in 3D. These incorporate ideas from well-known concepts such as the "medial axis" of H. Blum (pattern recognition), Voronoi diagrams and recent results from Singularity theory. I will illustrate the use of theses graphs in various applications. http://www.doc.gold.ac.uk/morpholingua/ <http://www.doc.gold.ac.uk/morpholingua/> http://doc.gold.ac.uk/~ffl/ <http://doc.gold.ac.uk/%7Effl/> Az eloadaskivonat a kovetkezo cimen is elerheto: http://www.cogsci.bme.hu/EsemHo.php?textfield=&ev=2007&honap=5 Ilona Kovacs
