BBS has now changed its procedures. If you also wish to be notified personally of accepted target articles and Calls for Commentators, you can get an individual login and password at the following URL: http://www.bbsonline.org/register.html Please note however that if you have had direct email communication with BBS in the past, a user account may already be in place for you, based on your most recent sending email address and details. In this case, the registration procedure at the URL above will send you the login details for that account. You can then logon to BBSPrints from the User Login link on the http://www.bbsonline.org/ front page and alter your mailshot (Call) status from there. There is of course no charge for any of this: also, there is no need to reply directly to this email.

BBS Call for Commentators A SENSORIMOTOR ACCOUNT OF VISION AND VISUAL CONSCIOUSNESS

by Gergely Csibra

Non-member submission from [Stevan Harnad (Editor) - Behavioral & Brain Sciences <bbs(a)bbsonline.org>] --- Subject: BBS Call for Commentators A SENSORIMOTOR ACCOUNT OF VISION AND VISUAL CONSCIOUSNESS To: koglist(a)cogpsyphy.hu From: Stevan Harnad (Editor) - Behavioral & Brain Sciences <bbs(a)bbsonline.org> Date: Mon, 07 May 2001 17:22:58 -0400 Below is the abstract of a forthcoming BBS target article [Please note that this paper was in fact accepted and archived to the web in October 2000 but the recent move of BBS to New York delayed the Call until now.] A SENSORIMOTOR ACCOUNT OF VISION AND VISUAL CONSCIOUSNESS by J. Kevin O'Regan Alva Noe http://www.bbsonline.org/Preprints/ORegan/ This article has been accepted for publication in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS), 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 nominated by a BBS Associate. To be considered as a commentator for this article, to suggest other appropriate commentators, or for information about how to become a BBS Associate, please reply by EMAIL within three (3) weeks to: calls(a)bbsonline.org The Calls are sent to 8000 BBS Associates, so there is no expectation (indeed, it would be calamitous) that each recipient should comment on every occasion! Hence there is no need to reply except if you wish to comment, or to nominate someone to comment. If you are not a BBS Associate, please approach a current BBS Associate (there are currently over 10,000 worldwide) who is familiar with your work to nominate you. All past BBS authors, referees and commentators are eligible to become BBS Associates. A full electronic list of current BBS Associates is available at this location to help you select a name: http://www.bbsonline.org/Instructions/assoclist.html If no current BBS Associate knows your work, please send us your Curriculum Vitae and BBS will circulate it to appropriate Associates to ask whether they would be prepared to nominate you. (In the meantime, your name, address and email address will be entered into our database as an unaffiliated investigator.) To help us put together a balanced list of commentators, please give some indication of the aspects of the topic on which you would bring your areas of expertise to bear if you were selected as a commentator. To help you decide whether you would be an appropriate commentator for this article, an electronic draft is retrievable from the online BBSPrints Archive, at the URL that follows the abstract below. _____________________________________________________________ A sensorimotor account of vision and visual consciousness J. Kevin O'Regan Laboratoire de Psychologie Expirimentale Centre National de Recherche Scientifique, Universiti Reni Descartes, 92774 Boulogne Billancourt, France oregan(a)ext.jussieu.fr http://nivea.psycho.univ-paris5.fr Alva Noe Department of Philosophy University of California, Santa Cruz Santa Cruz, CA 95064 anoe(a)cats.ucsc.edu http://www2.ucsc.edu/people/anoe/ KEYWORDS: Sensation, Perception, Action, Consciousness, Experience, Qualia, Sensorimotor, Vision, Change blindness ABSTRACT: Many current neurophysiological, psychophysical and psychological approaches to vision rest on the idea that when we see, the brain produces an internal representation of the world. The activation of this internal representation is assumed to give rise to the experience of seeing. The problem with this kind of approach is that it leaves unexplained how the existence of such a detailed internal representation might produce visual consciousness. An alternative proposal is made here. We propose that seeing is a way of acting. It is a particular way of exploring the environment. Activity in internal representations does not generate the experience of seeing. The outside world serves as its own, external, representation. The experience of seeing occurs when the organism masters what we call the governing laws of sensorimotor contingency. The advantage of this approach is that it provides a natural and principled way of accounting for visual consciousness, and for the differences in the perceived quality of sensory experience in the different sensory modalities. Several lines of empirical evidence are brought forward in support of the theory, in particular: evidence from experiments in sensorimotor adaptation, visual "filling in", visual stability despite eye movements, change blindness, sensory substitution, and color perception. http://www.bbsonline.org/Preprints/ORegan/ ___________________________________________________________ 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 ANNOUNCEMENTS *** (1) The authors of scientific articles are not paid money for their refereed research papers; they give them away. What they want is to reach all interested researchers worldwide, so as to maximize the potential research impact of their findings. Subscription/Site-License/Pay-Per-View costs are accordingly access-barriers, and hence impact-barriers for this give-away research literature. There is now a way to free the entire refereed journal literature, for everyone, everywhere, immediately, by mounting interoperable university eprint archives, and self-archiving all refereed research papers in them. Please see: http://www.eprints.org http://www.openarchives.org/ http://www.dlib.org/dlib/december99/12harnad.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- (2) All authors in the biobehavioral and cognitive sciences are strongly encouraged to self-archive all their papers in their own institution's Eprint Archives or in CogPrints, the Eprint Archive for the biobehavioral and cognitive sciences: http://cogprints.soton.ac.uk/ It is extremely simple to self-archive and will make all of our papers available to all of us everywhere, at no cost to anyone, forever. Authors of BBS papers wishing to archive their already published BBS Target Articles should submit it to BBSPrints Archive. Information about the archiving of BBS' entire backcatalogue will be sent to you in the near future. Meantime please see: http://www.bbsonline.org/help/ and http://www.bbsonline.org/Instructions/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- (3) 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!). -- Gergely Csibra Centre of Brain and Cognitive Development Research Scientist School of Psychology Senior Lecturer Birkbeck College g.csibra(a)bbk.ac.uk Malet Street Tel: +44 20 7631 6323 London WC1E 7HX Fax: +44 20 7631 6587 United Kingdom

Workshop on Cognitive Agents and Multi-agent Interaction

by Gergely Csibra

Non-member submission from [rsun(a)cecs.missouri.edu] --- Sender: rsun(a)cecs.missouri.edu Date: Wed, 02 May 2001 22:15:58 -0500 To: honavar(a)iastate.edu, ling(a)csd.uwo.ca, rsun(a)cecs.missouri.edu Subject: Workshop on Cognitive Agents and Multi-agent Interaction Workshop on Cognitive Agents and Multi-Agent Interaction at ICCS2001 (Aug 27-31, Beijing) Background Computational models of cognitive agents that incorporate aspects of reactive, deliberative, goal-driven, adaptive, autonomous, learning, communicative, competitive, and collaborative behaviors provide an attractive paradigm for addressing foundational questions in Cognitive Science. Artificial intelligence, in its early days, started out with the goal of designing intelligent agents. However, faced with the enormous complexity of the task, the focus soon shifted to modelling specific aspects of intelligence, often in highly restricted domains. In recent years, some researchers have begun to focus on putting the pieces together with the goal of designing intelligent agents. There is also a growing interest in multi-agent systems that address aspects of coordination and communication among groups of agents. On the other hand, historically, the main focus of research in Cognitive Science has been on specific components of cognition (e.g., perception, memory, learning, language). Recent developments in computational modelling of cognitive agents and multi-agent systems provide new avenues for addressing foundational questions in Cognitive Science Against this background, the workshop seeks to bring together cognitive scientists with diverse backgrounds and expertise to discuss research problems and exchange recent results that have broad implications for understanding cognition in computational terms at the whole systems level. We invite full papers, extended abstracts, or position papers on all aspects of cognitive agents and multi-agent interaction including, but not limited to: * Cognitive architectures (including alternative formalisms for modelling reactive, deliberative, autonomous, rational, learning, communicating agents). * Ontologies, knowledge representations, and inference for cognitive agents and multi-agent systems (including reasoning about space, time, and behaviors). * Multi-agent organizations (e.g., democracies, economies, cultures, and their coordination structures and mechanisms). * Learning and adaptation in cognition (including learning in dynamic environments consisting of active, distributed information sources). * Language and communication (signs, symbols, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics of communication among cognitive agents). * Multi-agent coordination (cooperation, competition etc. in multi-agent societies). * Computational abstractions, languages, and tools for modelling cognitive agents and multi-agent interaction. * Evolution of cognitive behavior. The workshop is open to all members of the Cognitive Science community. However, the number of participants is limited. Consequently, authors of accepted papers will be given priority in terms of attendance. All workshop participants must register for the Cognitive Science conference. The organizers will make a concerted effort to ensure a good mix of established researchers, graduate students and junior researchers with diverse backgrounds. Important Dates and Deadlines * Deadline for submission of full papers (up to 6 pages) or abstract (1 page): May 15, 2001. * Notification of acceptance: May 31, 2001. * Deadline for receipt of camera-ready papers: June 30, 2001 Note: A special issue of Cognitive System Research is planned for the selected papers of the Workshop (to be edited by Charles Ling, Vasant Honavar, and Ron Sun). See http://www.cecs.missouri.edu/~rsun/journal.html Instructions for Authors Electronic submission (postscript, pdf, or MS Word) is strongly encouraged.

Department of History and Philosophy of Science Eotvos University Budapest, Pazmany P. setany 1/A PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE SEMINAR (http://hps.elte.hu/seminar) ________________________________________________ 7 May 4:00 PM 6th floor 6.54 (Language: English, except all participants speak Hungarian) K a t a l i n F a r k a s Philosophy, Central European University, Budapest The limits of knowledge This is a critical introduction into the ideas of Timothy Williamson's Knowledge and its limits (Oxford Univ. Press, 2000), a book which is considered by many as the most original and significant contribution to epistemology in the last few decades. Working on theories of knowledge has been a flourishing enterprise in the twentieth century. Various versions of foundationalism, coherentism, causal theories, reliabilism, subjunctive theories, contextualist theories - and no doubt other theories - have been defended and criticised with great erudition. Williamson's book breaks a new path in approaching questions of knowledge. Here are some of the main claims of the book: - knowing is - contrary to what most contemporary theories of knowledge hold - a state of mind - the state of knowing is unanalysable to further constituents - it is, to use Williamson's terminology, a prime condition - hence it is not possible to give necessary and sufficient conditions for knowing - Gettierology was a waste of time - the state of knowing is explanatory in actions just like states of beliefs and desires are The organizer of the seminar: László E.

A > questionnaire has been devised for this purpose. We would like to ask > you to take a few moments and familiarize yourself with the description > and purpose of CYCLADES and also fill out the user requirements questionnaire > at the following location: > > http://sappho.ics.forth.gr:5000/User_Requirements/questionnaire.html > > > Your effort in filling out this questionnaire is greatly appreciated. > This questionnaire has been devised for the elicitation of user requirements > for the project CYLADES (IST-2000-25456). A brief description of the > project and its objectives is given below as well as at the aforementioned > web site. > > Sincerely, > > The CYCLADES Consortium, > > > > > > Project Description > > The main objective of CYCLADES (http://www.iei.pi.cnr.it/cyclades/) is to > develop advanced Internet accessible services to support scholars both > individually and as members of networked communities when interacting with > large interdisciplinary electronic (e-print) archives}. CYCLADES aims at > supporting the transition of e-print systems into genuine building blocks > of a transformed scholarly communication model by developing a set of > leading-edge technologies providing innovative methods for information access, > dissemination, sharing and collaborative work. > > The proposed open archives environment consists of two components: the > archives and the services. To the former contribute the Open > Archives initiative (OAI). CYCLADES will base the development of the service > environment on these specifications. In particular, a core set of cross-archive > value-added services will be developed to constitute a federation of > independent but interoperable services. The Service Environment will provide > OAi compliant functionality. The CYCLADES services comprise the following: > > Search and Browse Service: develops plans for the execution of user > queries. An ad-hoc or a profile-based user query will be decomposed into > more simple sub-queries to be sent to the Access Service for execution. > The results of the sub-queries are fused and returned to the user. > A browse facility is also supported. > > Collection Service: provides mechanisms for dynamically building meaningful > collections. > > Personalization Service: supports personalization of information > access on the basis of individual user profiles and of profiles of scholarly > communities to which users belong. > > Recommendation Service: provides recommendations to satisfy information needs > of a user based on ratings provided by other users or groups. > > Collaborative Work Service: supports collaboration between members of virtual > communities. Community working areas are created to use the OAi content in > collaborative work. > _______________________________________________ > OAI-general mailing list > OAI-general(a)oaisrv.nsdl.cornell.edu > http://oaisrv.nsdl.cornell.edu/mailman/listinfo/oai-general >
