As we uncover new fossils, understand the patterns and mechanisms that form diverse animal bodies, and compare the anatomy of organ systems of creatures … 15 Oct 2025 11:00 to 12:00 Event Renata Landgráfová Snakes and Demons: Guardians of the Afterlife in the Saite-Persian Tombs at Abusir Guest lecturer Conference for the general public. Abstract In the shadow of the pyramids of the 5 th Dynasty in northwest Abusir lies a Saite-period shaft tomb necropolis whose tombs challenge conventional funerary expectations. The richly decorated tomb of Iufaa, in … 14 Oct 2025 17:00 to 18:00 Series War, art and religion in North India Gérard Fussman, chair History of the Indian world Closing lecture How did three centuries of continuous invasions, from Alexander the Macedonian to the Kushans, unwittingly foster an extraordinary religious and artistic upheaval in North India? Gérard Fussman reviews sixty years of international research that have … 07 Jun 2011 Series A compass of possibilities. Global governance and legal humanisms Mireille Delmas-Marty, chair Comparative legal studies and the internationalization of law Closing lecture The process of globalization opens up unprecedented possibilities, but also poses threats to human beings and the ecosystem as a whole, provoking a sovereignist withdrawal in an increasingly "disoriented" world. What, then, is the place of legal humanism … 11 May 2011 Event Laurent Coulon Portraits of courtiers (18th-20th dynasty) Lecture 27 Oct 2025 11:00 to 12:30 Event Tristan Stérin The fifth Busy Beaver number Seminar Abstract We're calculating the fifth value of a function... that can't be calculated. This function, called Busy Beaver and proposed by Tibor Radó in 1962, measures the maximum number of operations a program can perform before stopping, as a function of … 27 Oct 2025 14:00 to 15:00 Event Claude Grison Biotechnologies for ecosystem remediation and restoration Special events Résumé Depuis le début de l’ère industrielle, les activités humaines ont particulièrement dégradé les écosystèmes : pollution des sols par les métaux lourds et par des plastiques, contamination des eaux par les substances chimiques, destruction des … 14 Oct 2025 17:30 to 19:00 Event Timothy Gowers The conjecture of stable families by union Lecture 27 Oct 2025 10:00 to 12:00 Event Daniel Lieberman Why we evolved to be physically active but not to exercise Guest lecturer Abstract The third conference will focus on physical activity. How and why did humans go from being very sedentary apes to being so physically active ? Why, if we've evolved to be physically active, do so many people dislike exercising ? And above all, … 24 Oct 2025 14:30 to 15:30 Event Stanislas Dehaene Concluding Remarks Symposium 3 Oct 2025 16:20 to 16:30 Event Josh Tenenbaum Scaling Intelligence the Human Way Symposium 3 Oct 2025 15:40 to 16:20 Event Mathias Sablé-Meyer Dissecting the Language of Thought Hypothesis across Marr's Levels Symposium Abstract The Language of Thought (LoT) hypothesis posits that mental representations are best understood as programme-like objects; indeed, "thoughts" share properties such as productivity and systematicity with programming languages.

Of Behavior: Using Cognitive Computational Models to Answer Distinct Questions about Human Cognition Symposium Abstract Quantitative modeling approaches are routinely used in cognitive science to make sense of behavior. Statistical models are designed to test *what* specific patterns are present in behavior, whereas cognitive computational models are developed to … 3 Oct 2025 15:00 to 15:20 Event Floris de Lange Uniquely Human Prediction? Symposium Abstract The brain is fundamentally a predictive organ that uses internal models to extrapolate future events from current inputs. While this predictive capacity exists across species, what may be uniquely human are the specific internal models we employ. … 3 Oct 2025 14:20 to 15:00 Event Florian Mormann Single-Neuron Correlates of Perception and Memory in the Human Medial Temporal Lobe Symposium 3 Oct 2025 12:10 to 12:50 Event Arun SP Do Monkeys See the Way We Do? Symposium Abstract Monkeys are widely used as model organisms for vision and cognition. While their anatomy and physiology have strong correspondences with humans, it is unclear whether they truly see the way we do. In most studies, monkeys are extensively trained … 3 Oct 2025 11:30 to 12:10 Event Lorenzo Ciccione The Perception and Understanding of Patterns and Graphics Symposium Abstract Graphics are a cultural product, meaning that they are a human invention with defined rules and syntax. In this respect, they are very similar to written words and numbers, probably the two most famous cultural inventions.
