A Sampling-based Framework for Probabilistic Perceptual Representation and Computation in the Cortex
Utorak, 10. januar, 12h, Svecana sala Filozofskog fakulteta u Novom Sadu
Prof. Jozsef Fiser, Brandeis University, USA.
The mind’s internal representations of its environment have a crucial role in the emergence of intelligent behavior, yet there are few concrete proposals about the nature of these internal representations or the way they are acquired. Using the domain of visual recognition, I will present a framework and a combined empirical-computational program that explore these issues. First, I will demonstrate that in everyday perceptual tasks humans process not only the sensory information but also their uncertainty about that information, and they do this in a theoretically optimal manner. As such behavior assumes a probabilistic internal representation of the world, I present evidence that indeed, adults and infants develop such representations when they face a novel visual environment. I will show how this framework can cover not only low-level statistical regularities of events and features, but also more complex abstract “rules” of the sensory world, as well as internal models of higher cognitive functions.
Alkohol i adenozin – opijanje na molekularnom nivou
Nije novost da etanol utiče na funkciju neurotransmiterskog sistema, menjajući pri tom izgled i ponašanje sinapsi. Vrlo dobro znamo i da, u pogledu zavisnosti, neki od nas podnose alkohol bolje od drugih. A sada možda znamo i zašto je to tako.

Mentalni pejzaž budućih majki: Psihološki procesi pri tranziciji u materinstvo kod trudnica različitih obrazaca vezanosti
Četvrtak, 15. decembar 2011. u 15h, LEP
Inspirisano shvatanjem o konstelaciji materinstva i drugim pokušajima da se opišu ključni aspekti tranzicije u materinstvo na mentalnom planu, ovo istraživanje ispituje razlike u mentalnim reprezentacijama, očekivanjima, anksioznostima i prenatalnoj vezanosti kod trudnica sigurnih i nesigurnih obrazaca vezanosti. Rezultati istraživanja su potvrdili da postoje složene veze između svih ispitivanih aspekata unutrašnjeg sveta u periodu trudnoće, te da svaki od nesigurnih obrazaca vezanosti nosi specifičan rizik za optimalnu tranziciju u
materinstvo.

Why do Spatiotemporally Restricted Regularities Explain in the Social Sciences?
Employing a well-known local regularity from macroeconomics, the Phillips curve, I examine Woodward’s ([2000], [2003]) account of the explanatory power of such historically restricted generalizations and the mathematical models with...

The disagreement between philosophers about the scientific worth of the evolutionary behavioral sciences (evolutionary psychology, human behavioral ecology, etc.) is in part due to the fact that critics and advocates...
