"THE SEARCH FOR MIND:
A new foundation for Cognitive Science"
MONDAY, April 7th, 1997
10.00 AM
INSTITUTE OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS (I-8)
FREDRIK BAJERS VEJ, 7-A4
A BUILDING (ROOM A4-108)
ABSTRACT
It is a measure of the maturity of Cognitive Science that, considered
as the Science of Mind, it has developed sufficiently to be in
crisis. In this talk, the nature of this crisis is explored and a new
foundation for the discipline is proposed. The new foundation
comprises a set of new fundamental tenets with specific empirical
consequences as well as a new basic orientation in approaching the
search for mind.
The talk begins by noting the current state of Cognitive Science
i.e. its ruling paradigm and the attacks on it, both on empirical and
theoretical grounds. It proceeds to outline the main substantive
tenets of the new foundation and the evidence for them across the
disciplines which comprise Cognitive Science. Several current
controversies yield immediately to the new analysis. The ecological
approach to Cognition with its insistence on adaptation is assented
to, with the caveat that a special set of categories have to be
introduced for symbolic behavior.
Finally, it is suggested that the interdisciplinary nature of
Cognitive Science necessitates that, in Darwinian fashion, one or
other discipline will come to the fore for a time. If the regnant
discipline is now to become neuroscience , this does not spell the end
of Cognitive Science; rather, it re-emphasizes its robust health. It
is therefore unwise for Cognitive Science to commit itself to the
methodology of one or other of its constituent disciplines. The danger
is that the mantle of "The Science of Mind" may be passed on to
another, less well-formed conceptual and administrative research
structure.

"AN INTEGRATED THEORY OF
CONSCIOUSNESS AND COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT"
TUESDAY, April 8th, 1997
10.00 AM
INSTITUTE OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS (I-8)
FREDRIK BAJERS VEJ, 7-A4
A BUILDING (ROOM A4-108)
ABSTRACT
For a variety of reasons,Consciousness and Selfhood are beginning once
again intensively to be studied in a scientific frame of reference.
The notions of each which are emerging are extremely varied; in the
case of selfhood,the lack of an adequate vocabulary to capture various
aspects of subjectivity has led to deep confusion. The task of the
first part of this talk is to clear up this terminological confusion,
while salvaging whatever is valuable from the contemporary
discussion. The discussion in this part will inevitably range from
neuroscience to quantum mechanics to experientialism.
With this end in view, the theories of consciousness (and,where
applicable,of selfhood) offered by Baars, Jackendoff,
Minsky,Johnson-Laird, Flanagan and Penrose are looked at.Some,like the
"mental models" view,are found inadequate for formal reasons.The
others are investigated on philosophical grounds,and in the context of
the historically-conditioned nature of the related concept of
selfhood.It is found that in several cases they involve prescriptions
for the description of selfhood which are unproved and perhaps
destructive.The talk then switches to the task of giving an integrated
account of consciousness with respect to cognitive development.The
premise is that a theory of consciousness requires development.The
distinctions available to consciousness are primarily cognitive
achievements One important such distinction is that between the
subject and his world,as he conceives it.It is argued that the
cognitive function of self,as distinct from the felt experience of
self,lies in the preservation of this distinction. The more important
task of the second part is to introduce the moral issues inevitably
involved in any treatment, scientific or otherwise, of the modern
identity.

"THE SPOKEN IMAGE SYSTEM"
TUESDAY, April 8th, 1997
2.00 PM
INSTITUTE OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS (I-8)
FREDRIK BAJERS VEJ, 7-A4
A BUILDING (ROOM A4-108)
(TO INCLUDE "S/I" VIDEO SESSION)
ABSTRACT
This talk describes a project currently being undertaken at the
National Research Council, Canada, which focusses on the visual
interpretation of scene descriptions. This system accepts verbal scene
descriptions and re-constructs a three-dimensional display of the
virtual model of the world that it builds up in the process of
interpreting the input. The obvious grounding issues are discussed
with respect to the interaction of language and vision in humans. A
video of the system in action will be shown.
The project also addresses itself, inter alia, to two much-discussed
topics:
** The relation between the semantics of language and vision
** The notion of symbol-grounding.
I will discuss some of the parallels and differences between the
linguistic and visual channels of perception. However, one of the
main conclusions is that the interaction of these channels for
human-computer interaction is, and should be, very different.

| GENERAL INFORMATION |
+---------------------+
Logic, Language and Information have attracted and brought together a large
number of active researchers from disciplines such as Logic, Computer Science,
Linguistics and Cognitive Science, who consider the use of logical techniques
(broadly conceived) as a thread unifying their research efforts. The European
Summer School in LLI (ESSLLI) has become the main meeting place for young
researchers and research students in this rapidly growing field. ESSLLI is a
unique, interdisciplinary event, with no counterparts in Europe or elsewhere
in the world.
The main focus of the summer school is the interface between logic,
linguistics and computation as far as it concerns the modelling of human
language and cognitive abilities. The 1997 summer school programme includes
courses, workshops and symposia covering a variety of topics within six areas
of interest: Logic, Language, Computation, Logic and Computation, Computation
and Language, Language and Logic.
ESSLLI'97 will take place at the Aix-en-Provence Faculty of Arts(University
of Aix-Marseille I). This Faculty is close to the old town centre. There are
regular connections by bus (25 mns) from the international airport of Marseille
and by train (30mns) from Marseille. The Faculty is at a 10 minute walking
distance from the railway station.

POSTGRADUATE STUDY
IN THE
CENTRE FOR COGNITIVE SCIENCE
AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH
Cognitive Psychology Neural Computation
Computational Linguistics Formal Logic
Data Intensive Linguistics Logic Programming
Theoretical Linguistics & Knowledge Representation
The Centre for Cognitive Science (CCS) offers a programme of
postgraduate study in cognitive science, centred on language and
cognition. The programme leads to the degrees of MSc in Cognitive
Science and Natural Language, MPhil or PhD.
CCS is committed to research and postgraduate teaching in cognitive
science at international level. The work of the Centre is at the heart
of Edinburgh's view of *informatics* -- the study of the structure,
behaviour, and design of computational systems, both natural and
artificial. CCS has a well-developed system of collaboration with
departments within Informatics (Artificial Intelligence, Computer
Science) and beyond (Linguistics, Philosophy, Psychology).
The Centre's lecturers and research fellows work with over 60
postgraduates in a rich and varied intellectual and social environment.
Regular interdisciplinary research workshops, in which students actively
participate, focus on current problems in cognitive science. Visiting
researchers contribute to a lively seminar series. Research projects,
many of them collaborative with other European centres of excellence,
have been funded by the UK research councils ESRC, EPSRC and MRC as well
as by the European Union LRE and ESPRIT programmes in such areas as
natural language understanding and computational neuroscience.

Human Communication Research Centre: The HCRC is a centre of excellence
in the interdisciplinary study of cognition and computation in human
communication, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council
(UK). Drawing together researchers from Edinburgh, Glasgow and
Durham, HCRC focuses on the psychological aspects of real language
processing. HCRC shares a site with CCS, and the two contribute
towards a joint research environment.
Studying in Edinburgh: Edinburgh contains the largest concentration of
expertise in Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing
in Europe. Students have access to that expertise, to Edinburgh's
large copyright libraries, and within Cognitive Science, to a
substantial offprint library. The department possesses extensive
computing facilities based on a network of Sun workstations and
Apple Macintoshes; access to Edinburgh's concurrent supercomputer
and other central computing services is easily arranged.
Requirements: Applicants typically have a first degree in one of the
participating areas or an appropriate joint honours degree.
Funding: UK and EU students following the MSc and PhD courses are
eligible to apply for studentships. CCS will advise all students
concerning funding possibilities. CCS attracts studentships from a
variety of UK and non-UK funding bodies. Non-UK applicants with
sufficient background may enroll as non-graduating students.
