KEYWORDS: belief; bias; contradictory beliefs; intention;
motivation; self-deception; wishful thinking
ABSTRACT: Self-deception poses tantalizing conceptual
conundrums and provides fertile ground for empirical research.
Recent interdisciplinary volumes on the topic feature essays by
biologists, philosophers, psychiatrists, and psychologists
(Lockard & Paulhus 1988, Martin 1985). Self-deception's
location at the intersection of these disciplines is explained
by its significance for questions of abiding interdisciplinary
interest. To what extent is our mental life present--or even
accessible--to consciousness? How rational are we? How is
motivated irrationality to be explained? To what extent are
our beliefs subject to our control? What are the determinants
of belief, and how does motivation bear upon belief? In what
measure are widely shared psychological propensities products
of evolution?

THE DETECTION AND GENERATION OF SEQUENCES AS A KEY TO
CEREBELLAR FUNCTION. EXPERIMENTS AND THEORY
Valentino Braitenberg, Detlef Heck and
Fahad Sultan
Max-Planck-Institute for biological cybernetics
Spemannstr. 38
72076 Tuebingen
Germany
KEYWORDS: Cerebellum; motor control; allometric relation;
parallel fibers; synchronicity; spatio-temporal activity;
sequence addressable memory; cerebro-cerebellar interaction.
ABSTRACT:Starting from macroscopic and microscopic facts of
cerebellar histology, we propose a new functional interpretation
which may elucidate the role of the cerebellum in movement control.
Briefly, the idea is that the cerebellum is a large collection of
individual lines (Eccles' "beams") which respond specifically to
certain sequences of events in the input and in turn produce
sequences of signals in the output. We believe that the sequence in
- sequence out mode operation is as typical for the cerebellar
cortex as the transformation of sets into sets of active neurons is
typical for the cerebral cortex, and that both the histological
differences between the two and their reciprocal functional
interactions become understandable in the light of this dichotomy.
The response of Purkinje cells to sequences of stimuli in the mossy
fiber system was shown experimentally by Heck on surviving slices
of rat and guinea pig cerebellum. Sequential activation of a row of
eleven stimulating electrodes in the granular layer, imitating a
"movement" of the stimuli along the folium, produces a powerful
volley in the parallel fibers which strongly excites Purkinje
cells, as evidenced by intracellular recording. The volley, or
"tidal wave" has maximal amplitude when the stimulus moves towards
the recording site at the speed of conduction in parallel fibers,
and much smaller amplitudes for lower or higher "velocities". The
succession of stimuli has no effect when they "move" in the
opposite direction. Synchronous activation of the stimulus
electrodes also had hardly any effect. We believe that the
sequences of mossy fiber activation which normally produce this
effect in the intact cerebellum are a combination of motor
planning, relayed to the cerebellum by the cerebral cortex, and
information about ongoing movement, reaching the cerebellum from
the spinal cord. The output elicited by the specific sequence to
which a "beam" is tuned may well be a succession of well timed
inhibitory volleys "sculpting" the motor sequences so as to adapt
them to the complicated requirements of the physics of a
multi-jointed system.

About the Southern Society
for Philosophy and Psychology
The Southern Society for Philosophy and Psychology was founded in
1904. Its stated purpose is to promote philosophy and psychology in
the southern section of the United States by facilitating the
exchange of ideas among those engaged in these fields of inquiry, by
encouraging investigation, by fostering the educational function of
philosophy and psychology, and by improving the academic status of
these subjects. The office of President for the society alternates
each year between a philosopher and a psychologist. The first
president was James Mark Baldwin. His term of office ran from
1904-1907. The current president is Duane Rumbaugh of Georgia State
University.
There are two classes of SSPP membership members and associate
members. Normally, the applicant for member status will be expected
to have the Ph.D. degree and be devoting a major professional effort
in a teaching or research capacity. Persons without a Ph.D. degree
may be eligible for associate membership with the expectation that
they can be advanced to full membership after three years of continu
ed and active involvement in the teaching or research of philosophy
or psychology.
If you are attending the 1996 SSPP meetings and are not a member of
the Society, we would welcome your application. Any of the officers
listed inside the front cover of this program will be able to
provide further information and an application form or you may write
to the Secretary, Professor Dorothy Coleman, Department of
Philosophy, College of William and Mary, P.O. Box 8795,

> Ph.D. in Cognitive Science
>
> Pending final approval, Carleton University in Ottawa, ON, Canada,
> plans to begin offering a Ph.D. in Cognitive Science in Sept. 1996. This
> will be the first dedicated, fully structured Ph.D. programme in Cognitive
> Science in Canada. A brief description of the programme follows; for more
> information, please contact Andrew Brook, Director, Cognitive Science
> Research Unit, at abrook(a)ccs.carleton.ca, or at the regular mail address
> given at the end. We would be particularly interested in hearing from
> prospective students.
>
> Further information can be obtained from our Web site,
> http://superior.carleton.ca/~jlogan/Grad_Cog_Sci.html
> which is under development.
>
> The programme will be housed in its own facilities in the
> Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies at Carleton. 26 faculty from the
> five core disciplines of Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Psychology,
> Linguistics, Philosophy, and Neuroscience participate in the programme.
> All the academic units involved actively support the programme. 17 of the
> 26 core faculty are at Carleton, the other nine are drawn from the
> University of Ottawa, McGill University, and the federal Communications
> Research Centre. Faculty from Queen's University are also attached to the
> programme in a looser arrangement.
>
> Upon approval, students will be able to enter the programme with
> an honours Bachelor's degree or with a Master's degree in a cognitive
> discipline or combination of cognitive disciplines. It is possible to
> enter the programme directly after finishing a Bachelor's degree. Students
> in the programme will do a combination of dedicated core courses and
> courses from contributing departments in their first two years (three
> years for students entering with a Bachelor's degree). An important
> feature of the programme is a `methodology rotation', in which students,
> as part of the comprehensive examination required before beginning
> dissertation research, will spend a term in the research facilities of
> three of the participating academic units. After completion of courses and
> the comprehensive examination, students will join the research facilities
> of their supervisor to do dissertation research. The dissertation
> committee will be interdisciplinary.
>
> Financial assistance will be available for qualified students with
> strong records. Initially it is expected that only about five students
> will be admitted per year, so interested students should contact us early.
>
> All new graduate programmes in Ontario have to pass a review at the
> provincial level. Admissions will not be able to be finalized until this
> review has been successfully completed. We hope to have it completed
> before students have to make decisions about other opportunities.
>
> Anyone interested in the programme is invited to contact us at:
> abrook(a)ccs.carleton.ca,
> or through our Web site,
> http://superior.carleton.ca/~jlogan/Grad_Cog_Sci.html
