[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium: December 17 Wednesday: Philippe G. Schyns (University of Glasgow)

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Philippe G. Schyns (University of Glasgow) Date: Wednesday, December 17, 2014 - 17:00-18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Frankel Leó út 30-34., Room G15 Title: Investigating the sensorimotor basis of human communication Abstract: Disembodied automated systems cannot reach human-like performance when dealing with the decoding of human non-verbal communicative signals. Automated systems, in fact, rarely exploit human brain/body solutions. All attempts that do not take this fact into account are bound to be unreliable in variable environments, to fail in generalizing to new examples and to be unable to scale up to solve more complex problems. For this very reason, I will first report basic neurophysiological studies dedicated to the description of the basic mechanisms of inter-individual sensorimotor communication. I will then move to the discussion of current attempts to quantify sensorimotor information flow among interacting participant and finally propose a roadmap to build better computational tools to decode human sensorimotor communication.- See more at: http://cognitivescience.ceu.hu/events/2014-12-03/departmental-colloquium-al… Philippe G. Schyns (University of Glasgow) - Obtained his degree in Psychology in Liege, Belgium, in 1986, and in Computer Science in Louvain, Belgium, in 1988 followed by a Ph.D. in Cognitive Science at Brown University (USA) in 1992. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, Action Editor for Psychological Science and Editor of Frontiers in Perception Science. He researches the information processing mechanisms of face, object and scene categorization in the brain. The title and abstract of his talk will be announced later as soon as we receive it. We're looking forward to see you there (Frankel Leo u. 30-34) !
