Elõadás a BME Kognitív Tudományi Központ házi kollokvium sorozata keretében: Elõadó: Bodrogi Péter (Veszprémi Egyetem, Képfeldolgozás és Neuroszámítógépek Tanszék) Cím: Cognitive Colour Absztrakt: Colour is usually defined as a color stimulus or as perceived colour. But we can also define the concept of cognitive colour. The result of the colour module of early visual processing is perceived colour with its three continuous perceptual attributes: hue, colourfulness, and brightness. After the early visual processing state, the colour perception is classified into a (semantic) category if required by the visual task. Cognitive colour means one from the discrete set of these categories. This set may depend on the visual task, e.g. the set of eleven basic colours, or the set of long-term memory colours of familiar objects. Cognitive colour may be relevant in the following (visual) tasks: colour categorization, colour coding, colour naming, Stroop effect, spatial organization of coloured visual objects, visual search, colour memory. Idõ: 2004 március 8. 16 óra Hely: BME, St. ép. 427. Minden érdeklõdõt szeretettel várunk. ########################################### This message has been scanned by F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange.

The Philosophy Department of Central European University invites you to a public lecture Arthur Madigan, S.J. (Boston College) Aristotle's handling of endoxa in Nicomachian Ethics IX 4 and Eudemian Ethics VII 6 3.00 PM, March 3, Wednesday, Zrinyi utca 14, Room 412 Nicomachian Ethics VII 1, 1145b2-7 is commonly taking to be an important statement, even a controlling statement, of Aristotle's method of beginning inquiry with a survey of endoxa or reputable opinions. According to certain interpretations of the passage, Aristotle's conclusions are determined, or at least restricted, by the initial collection of endoxa. In Nicomachian Ethics IX 4 and Eudemian Ethics VII 6, however, Aristotle begins with very similar collections of endoxa but comes to very different conclusions. This paper will study these texts in an attempt to determine how similar initial collections of opinions can lead to different conclusions. The aim will be to identify other salient features of Aristotle's dialectical procedure besides the initial collection of endoxa. Professor Madigan earned his PhD at the University of Toronto in 1979. He has published widely in the field of Greek philosophy, his major book publications include: - Alexander of Aphrodisias on Aristotle, Metaphysics 2 and 3. London-Ithaca N.Y.: Duckworth-Cornell University Press, 1992. - Alexander of Aphrodisias on Aristotle, Metaphysics 4. London-Ithaca N.Y.: Duckworth-Cornell University Press, 1993. - Aristotle, Metaphysics Books Beta and Kappa 1-2. (Clarendon Aristotle Series). Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1999. http://fmwww.bc.edu/pl/fac/madigan.cv.html

The Birth of Mind [book announcement]

by Gary Marcus

Announcing [and with apologies for multiple postings] The Birth of the Mind How A Tiny Number of Genes Creates the Complexity of Human Thought By <http://www.psych.nyu.edu/gary/index.html>Gary Marcus "A joy to read." -- Publisher's Weekly "Expert and Lucid" -- Noam Chomsky "Brilliantly Original" -- Steven Pinker "[Across] such diverse disciplines as evolution, genetics, gene expression, cell biology, neurobiology, and psychology, Marcus .... makes the relevant issues understandable to the lay reader, and does an even better job of dispelling the myths that impede the way we think about genes and their role in making brains, and hence minds." -- Nature From the Jacket The Human Genome Project has blazed new trails in medical science and genetic research. We know that within hours of their birth, babies can recognize faces, connect what they hear with what they see and tell the difference between Dutch and Japanese. Our genes prepare us to observe the world; they shape the finest details of the human brain. But as far as psychology is concerned, writes award-winning cognitive scientist Gary Marcus, "it's almost as if Watson and Crick never met DNA." With The Birth of the Mind , Gary Marcus enters the nature vs. nurture debate and changes it forever. Genetics isn't destiny, but the only way to know what nature brings to the table, he argues, is to take a look at what genes actually do. Startling findings have recently revealed that the genome is much smaller than we once thought, containing no more than 30,000-40,000 genes. Since this discovery, scientists have struggled to understand how such a tiny number of genes could contain the instructions for building the human brain, arguably the most complex device in the known universe. Synthesizing up-to-the-minute research with his own original findings on child development, Marcus is the first to resolve this apparent contradiction as he chronicles exactly how genes create the infinite complexities of the human mind. Along the way, he reveals the common misconceptions people harbor about genes, and explores the stunning implications of this research for the future of genetic engineering. January 2004 (Basic Books).
