With the cooperation and collaboration of neuroscientists, psychologists, historians and artists, we have undertaken the task of establishing a new, interdisciplinary field, which we hope will prove to be suitable for the establishment of new perspectives toward the comprehension of vision. Vision Image and Perception, exhibition organised as the opening event of the Budapest Autumn Festival by the C3 Foundation and the Mûcsarnok/Kunsthalle Budapest in the Mûcsarnok, aims to present the active process of human vision as approachable through historical, cultural, technical and neurobiological methods, with the aid of artworks, demonstration charts and apparatus, as well as the potentials of interactive multimedia. The exhibition and the accompanying events, among them the symposium entitled Brain and Image, would like to create a discoursive space in which the representatives of the various scientific and artistic branches, the authors and researchers, can become acquainted with each others? points of view, and can examine the common and divergent domains in such a way that it be interesting and informative, both for the recipients and for the viewers. With respect to the understanding, modelling and description of vision, the scientific research of the past one-and-a-half to two decades has reached a point that we must recognise: extremely important experiences are concealed within those objects and experiments that we have come to denote with the collective term of ?art?. Similarly, artistic compositions and the experiences of artists can provide a basis for the evolution of a new system of perspective for scientific researchers, taken in the strictest sense of the word. The Visio research group that was formed within the framework of C3 last year was established in order to create an opportunity through the investigation of the process of vision for a dialogue between the various fields of research, and for becoming acquainted with those new tendencies of examination that are taken note of with a general interest, beyond the professional approach. In this way, the investigation can be inspiring for both the artists and the scientific researchers. In the present case, similarly as with our previous exhibitions achieved with great success, The Butterfly Effect and Perspective, our aim is to establish a comprehensive, scientific and technological historical context. Thus, we have organised a scientific symposium founded upon the participation of eminent international and Hungarian professionals neurologists, neurobiologists, art historians, as well as a screening series and additional lectures, the publication of printed and digital materials, and the presentation of such (media) artworks that reflect upon the research of vision and the sphere of thought of image and perception. Principal elements of the presentation organised in all exhibition halls of the Mûcsarnok/Kunsthalle: The first, and largest, group of artworks presents the thematic sphere of vision image and perception, through the means of contemporary media art and in accordance with the characteristics of art. We sent out a call for applications toward the realisation of such new works that are linked to the theme at hand and would be produced first and foremost through the application of technical media. Those projects suitable for realisation and approaching the subject at hand are produced within the framework of the C3 Foundation Lab Grant. The recipient is provided with technical and operational assistance, as well as the opportunity for consultation with our scientific colleagues participating in the programme. The second, the historical section is divided between earlier artworks, apparatus and documentation. Here, for both the researchers and the audience, such rarely visible and studiable original objects and equipment are rendered accessible, which, with the exception of such infrequent occasions, are closed to public view. New, until now unpublished, results and reports relevant to the theme of research are employed and presented in connection with this Hungarian and international material. The third part is comprised of demonstration tableaux, prepared for this occasion, as well as those produced earlier by scientists researching similar themes, which render viewable those artworks that, due to their high value, are inaccessible and unlendable, which are important as illustrations or images demonstrating and assisting in comprehension of the theme and research. Participating artists include, among others: Róza El-Hassan, Gábor Gyõrfi, János Sugár, Zoltán Szegedy-Maszák, Péter Türk, Joachim Fleischer, Miklós Erdély, Rosa Barba, Aegedius Sadeler, György Jovánovics, Agostino Musi, Mária Chilf, Ilona Keserü, Dóra Maurer, Jan Saenredam, Hendrik Goltzius, Gábor Palotai, Gábor Kerekes, Luchezar Boyadjiev, Attila Csörgõ, I.

It attracts tens of thousands of visitors from inside and outside of Hungary. This year, the opening event of the Budapest Autumn Festival is an exhibition and International Conference, Vision, in the Mûcsarnok/Kunsthalle, the main exhibition hall for contemporary art in Hungary. The scientific conference is entitled Image and the Brain, and it will focus on the following topic: Visual art is the product of the human brain, and therefore the creation and appreciation of art depends upon and obeys the general organizational principles and rules of the brain. Understanding the neural basis of visual art can help us to answer some of the most challenging questions of human history: what is art and how did it evolve? The purpose of the conference is to provide a forum for scientists, artists and others interested in questions about visual art and its neural basis. Invited speakers include: Vilayanur S. Ramachandran (Professor of Neurosciences and Psychology, University of California, San Diego). Melvyn A. Goodale (Canada Research Professor in Visual Neuroscience; University of Western Ontario, London Ontario, Kanada) Prof. Nicholas Wade (Professor of Visual Psychology, University of Dundee, Dundee) Prof. Jean-Pierre Changeux (Collège de France; Institut Pasteur, Paris) Richard Gregory (Professor of Psychology, Downing College Cambridge) Prof. Thomas V.

CONFERENCE CHAIR: Monica HELLER (Univ. of Toronto) LOCAL SITE COMMITTEE: Susan EHRLICH (York Univ.), Ruth KING (York Univ.), Normand LABRIE (Univ. of Toronto), Grit LIEBSCHER (Univ. of Waterloo), Bonnie McELHINNY (Univ. of Toronto) Donna PATRICK (Brock Univ.), Jack SIDNELL (Univ. of Toronto) INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE COMMITTEE: In addition to the members of the Local Site Committee, the International Conference Committee includes: Charles ANTAKI (Loughborough Univ.), Jenny COOK-GUMPERZ (Univ. of California at Santa Barbara), Susan ERVIN-TRIPP (Univ. of California at Berkeley; IPrA President), GU Yueguo (Chinese Academy of Social Sciences), Andreas JUCKER (Justus Liebig Univ.

Prospective participants should, however, pay attention to the distribution of topics across event types, as described below. In addition, there is a special theme. SPECIAL THEME: Linguistic pluralism : policies, practices and pragmatics This is a theme that was chosen by the Local Site Committee and approved by the Consultation Board. It corresponds to the interests of a large number of IPrA members, and permits us to link cognitive, linguistic, social and political approaches to a phenomenon of long-standing interest in pragmatics and of current theoretical, as well as social and policy importance. The intention will be to focus the conference on making those links in a number of ways, ranging from choice of plenary speakers and special panels, to invitations to interested and relevant Canadians outside the academy. The theme is one which also fits the venue, given Canada's historical involvement in debates on such issues, and Toronto's profile as a major centre of new globalized urban multilingualism. However, it is meant here to go beyond traditional ideas about "multilingualism" understood as connecting linguistic difference primarily to ethnic or national distinctio ns, and rather to extend that concept to the links between language and all forms of social difference and social inequality. The theme is also appropriate to the expertise of the members of the Local Site Committee which is committed to tying academic approaches to broader public debates. PLENARY LECTURES: Plenary speakers will include Susan GAL (Dept. of Anthropology, Univ. of Chicago), Language ideologies and the practices of power: "Reading between the lines" during the Cold War Jocelyn LÉTOURNEAU (Département d'histoire, Univ.

Philosophy of Science Colloquium, Barry Loewer

Department of HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE Eotvos University, Budapest Pazmany P. setany 1/A Budapest Phone/Fax: (36-1) 372 2924 Department's Home Page:http://hps.elte.hu Philosophy of Science Colloquium Room 6.54 (6th floor) Monday 4:00 PM ____________________________________ 27 May 4:00 PM 6th floor 6.54 (Language: English) Counterfactuals and the Second Law Barry Loewer Department of Philosophy, Rutgers University Counterfactuals e.g. "if the match had been struck it would have lit", are temporally asymmetric -- the future typically coutnerfactually depends on the past but (typically) not the the past on the future. The second law of thermodynamics is also temporally asymmetric. It says, roughly, that the entropy of an isolated system (the universe as a whole) never decreases. So the idea has occurred to some philosophers and physicists including Einstein, Reichenbach, Lewis, Sklar, Horwich (among others) that there is a connection between counterfactuals and thermodynamics second law, and more generally statistical mechanics. But none of these spell out what that connection is. Lewis remarks that he "does not know how to connect the several asymmetries ...and the famous asymmetry of entropy." We will fill in part of the story here. ___________________________________ The 60-minute lecture is followed by a 5-minute break.

Fw: meghivo Robin Dunbar eloadasara

by Csaba Pleh

The Rector and Permanent Fellows of COLLEGIUM BUDAPEST Institute for Advanced Study invite you to a Public Lecture by Robin Dunbar School of Biological Sciences University of Liverpool Liverpool, UK Evolution of the Social Brain on Thursday 23 May 2002 5.30 p.m. at Collegium Budapest 1014 Budapest Szentháromság u. 2. ABSTRACT Language and conversation are distinctively human behaviours. But why should they be unique to our species? The explanation lies in the phenomenon known as the "social brain", a distinctively primate adaptation. Primates are characterised by two unusual features: brains that are bigger for body size than is the case for any other group of animals and some highly developed social skills. I shall show that these features are correlated: primates' large brains have evolved because they are needed to allow the animals to engage in more complex calculations when interacting socially. This leads us to ask what it is that primates are doing that is so complicated as to need a larger brain. The answer lies in aspects of social cognition like "theory of mind" - the ability to understand how another individual sees the world. Pulling these two themes together then allows us to see why and how language might have evolved in the human lineage - and not anywhere else. Language is needed to supplement social grooming (the main way in which primates bond their social groups) when group size exceeds a certain limit. In effect, language is a form of grooming at a distance that allows us to enlarge the circle of individuals that we can interact with. CV of Robin Dunbar Robin Dunbar graduated in Philosophy and Psychology from the University of Oxford, and went on to do a PhD in animal behaviour at the University of Bristol. During the last 30 years, he has studied the behaviour of wild primates and antelope in various parts of Africa. More recently, his research has focussed on three main areas: developing mathematical models of socio-ecological and reproductive decision- making in primates, human behavioural ecology (with a particular emphasis on mate choice strategies and parental investment decisions), and the cognitive mechanisms that underpin these kinds of decisions in primates and humans. He leads a group of 3 faculty staff and around 15 postgraduate students working on a broad range of subjects within these areas. His most recent books include: The Trouble with Science (1995), Grooming, Gossip and the Evolution of Language (1996), The Evolution of Culture (1999), Primate Conservation Biology (2000) and Human Evolutionary Psychology (2002).

King Department of Anthropology College of William and Mary Williamsburg, VA 23187-8795 United States KEYWORDS: dynamic systems; co-regulation; apes; language development; ape language research; communication; symbols; brain development ABSTRACT: In recent years we have seen a dramatic shift, in several different areas of communication studies, from an information-theoretic to a dynamic systems paradigm. In an information-processing system, communication, whether between cells, mammals, apes, or humans, is said to occur when one organism encodes information into a signal that is transmitted to another organism that decodes the signal. In a dynamic system, all of the elements are continuously interacting with and changing in respect to one another, and an aggregate pattern emerges from this mutual co-action. Whereas the information-processing paradigm looks at communication as a linear, binary sequence of events, the dynamic systems paradigm looks at the relation between behaviors and how the whole configuration changes over time. One of the most dramatic examples of the significance of shifting from an information-processing to a dynamic systems paradigm can be found in the debate over the interpretation of recent advances in ape language research (ALR). To some extent, many of the early ALR studies reinforced the stereotype that animal communication is functional and stimulus-bound, precisely because they were based on an information-processing paradigm that promoted a static model of communicative development. But Savage-Rumbaughs recent results with bonobos has introduced an entirely new dimension into this debate. Shifting the terms of the discussion from an information-processing to a dynamic systems paradigm not only highlights the striking differences between Savage-Rumbaughs research and earlier ALR studies, but further, it sheds illuminating light on the factors that underpin the development of communication skills in great apes and humans, and the relationship between communicative development and the development of language. http://www.bbsonline.org/Preprints/Shanker/Referees/ ====================================================================== IMPORTANT Please do not prepare a commentary yet. Just let us know, after having inspected it, what relevant expertise you feel you would bring to bear on what aspect of the article. We will then let you know whether it was possible to include your name on the final formal list of invitees. ======================================================================= *** SUPPLEMENTARY ANNOUNCEMENT *** (1) Call for Book Nominations for BBS Multiple Book Review In the past, Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS) had only been able to do 1-2 BBS multiple book treatments per year, because of our limited annual page quota. BBS's new expanded page quota will make it possible for us to increase the number of books we treat per year, so this is an excellent time for BBS Associates and biobehavioral/cognitive scientists in general to nominate books you would like to see accorded BBS multiple book review. (Authors may self-nominate, but books can only be selected on the basis of multiple nominations.) It would be very helpful if you indicated in what way a BBS Multiple Book Review of the book(s) you nominate would be useful to the field (and of course a rich list of potential reviewers would be the best evidence of its potential impact!). *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Please note: Your email address has been added to our user database for Calls for Commentators, the reason you received this email.
