I tackle questions … 3 Oct 2025 15:20 to 15:40 Event Valentin Wyart The What?, How? And Why? 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 Patrick Boucheron Places of power (7) Lecture 17 Feb 2026 14:00 to 15:00 Event Markus Aspelmeyer How Does a Quantum Object Gravitate? Seminar Abstract No experiment today provides evidence that gravity requires a quantum description. The quantum optical control of solid-state mechanical devices, quantum optomechanics, may change that situation -- by enabling experiments that directly probe the … 17 Feb 2026 15:45 to 16:45 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. However, unlike them, … 3 Oct 2025 10:50 to 11:10 Event Fosca Al Roumi How Humans Compress Information in Memory: The Language of Thought Hypothesis Symposium 3 Oct 2025 10:30 to 10:50 Event Pascale Senellart Vibration and quantum technologies Lecture Abstract The vibrations of a single atom, or of a multitude of atoms in a solid, are both a source of decoherence that must be overcome, and a fully-fledged quantum system that can be manipulated. This lecture will introduce these two facets of vibrations … 17 Feb 2026 14:00 to 15:30 Event Manuela Piazza Space as the Fabric of Thought Symposium 3 Oct 2025 09:50 to 10:30 Event Isabelle Ratié The Buddhist principle of non-self Lecture 17 Feb 2026 16:00 to 17:00 Event Claire Sergent The Global Workspace Model of Consciousness: Then and Now Symposium 2 Oct 2025 16:10 to 16:30 Event Biyu Jade He Neural Mechanisms of Conscious Visual Perception in Humans Symposium Abstract In this talk, I will discuss insights from our recent work probing the neural mechanisms underlying conscious visual perception in humans by leveraging multimodal neuroimaging and computational approaches. I will focus on the roles of slow … 2 Oct 2025 15:30 to 16:10 Event Lucia Melloni Building a Theory of Consciousness, One Collaboration at a Time Symposium Abstract What does it take to transform consciousness from a philosophical puzzle into a scientific theory? Few frameworks have shaped this quest as deeply as Stanislas Dehaene's Global Neuronal Workspace Theory (GNWT). By proposing that conscious access … 2 Oct 2025 14:50 to 15:30 Event Jean-Pierre Changeux The Global Neuronal Workspace from the Molecular to the Cognitive Level: Consequences for Pathology and Pharmacology Symposium Abstract The global neuronal workspace (GNW) theory originates from decades-long productive dialogs between Dehaene & Changeux which aimed, in the late 80's, at the elaboration of formal neuronal networks of cognitive functions. They initially included … 2 Oct 2025 14:10 to 14:50 Event Luca Bonatti The state of the State of the Arts of the Language of thought Symposium Abstract I will revise the state of the art of the current evidence for Language of thought. I will focus on the identification of primitive operation in early infancy, and will speculate on the relation between natural language and logical … 2 Oct 2025 12:30 to 12:50 Event Véronique Izard Why Is Conceptual Learning so Hard? Symposium Abstract Learning concepts can be very difficult, especially in science and mathematics. For instance, children continue to struggle with fractions even after several years of formal instruction on the topic; and adults display persistent difficulties … 2 Oct 2025 12:10 to 12:30 Event Lisa Feigenson Developmental Origins of Human Curiosity Symposium Abstract Curiosity underpins the greatest of human achievements, from exploring the reaches of our solar system to discovering the structure of our own minds. Where does this drive come from? Here I suggest that far from being reliant on language and … 2 Oct 2025 11:50 to 12:10 Event Bruce McCandliss Discovering Combinatorial Affordances of Elements to Form Gestalts: Learning to "See Ideas via Groupitizing and Visual Word Forms Symposium Abstract Early education is a time of transformation in the way children come to see ideas in the world in the world, partly by a process of learning to combine visual elements to form gestalts. In this talk, I will expand upon these combinatorial … 2 Oct 2025 11:10 to 11:50 Event Pedro Pinheiro-Chagas Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Arithmetic Computation in the Human Brain Symposium Abstract Mathematics is among humanity's most remarkable achievements, yet we still lack a comprehensive understanding of how the brain performs even simple arithmetic. In this talk, I will present a series of studies investigating the encoding of … 2 Oct 2025 10:30 to 10:50 Event Evelyn Eger Pattern Codes for Numerical Quantity during Perception and Internal Computation in the Human Brain Symposium Abstract During the last two decades, neuroimaging has generated a wealth of knowledge on how number processing inserts itself into the functional neuroanatomy of the human brain. We understand quite well now what are the cortical areas involved, and the … 2 Oct 2025 10:10 to 10:30 Event Justin Halberda The Relationship Between The Approximate Number System (ANS) And Math Cognition-Evidence From Across Several Continents Symposium Abstract What might be the relationship between our fanciest, most-recent cognitive inventions (e.g., Formal Mathematics) and our most evolutionarily ancient abilities to approximate the world (e.g., The Approximate Number System)?
