Daniel Fessler : Taboos, emotions and cultural evolution

Culture and Cognition
In July 2007, we had a great summer schoool on culture and cognition at the Central European University in Budapest organised by György Gergely and Dan Sperber. The proceeding were video-recorded and many of the lectures (by Rita Astuti, Pascal Boyer, Susan Carey, Gergely Csibra, Dan Fessler, György Gergely, Pierre Jacob, Dan Sperber) and of the students presentations (by Coralie Chevalier, Claire Cooper, Christophe Heintz, Olivier Mascaro, Vlad Naumescu) are now visible online at the school's Youtube channel here.

Podcasts from 'Metarepresentation, communication and culture'Metarepresentation, communication and culture was a one and a half day workshop organized by Dan Sperber and collaborators. The workshop explored to what extent the abilities to attribute mental states to others and form representations of representations underlie the formation of human culture.
More information about the programme, speakers as well as downloadable abstracts can be found here.
Downloadable talks in mp3 format (still more to come):
Olivier Mascaro - 'Metarepresentation and children’s understanding of deception’
Fabrice Clément - 'What is the minimal cognitive equipment for real trust? The 3-year-old’s problem’
Nicolas Baumard - 'What is intuitive in intuitive theories?'
Dan Sperber - ‘Demonstrations’
Making Your Mind: Molecules, Motion, and Memory What is mind?
Can molecular biology help us understand mental function?
Can molecular biology help us understand mental function?
Eric R. Kandel, M.D. and Thomas M. Jessell, Ph.D.of Columbia University will help us understand how the nervous system turns an idea into action—from the complex processing that takes place in the brain to the direct marching orders the spinal cord gives to the muscles. Modern neuroscience equates mind with the organ we call the brain, an astounding network more than 100 billion neurons connected in a vast complicated web. The presenters will help us puzzle out how the brain is organized and identify the seat of human memory. The question of understanding how the brain functions is rivaled by the question of how such a complex network of cells develops in the first place.

This morning, just like any other day in America, more than a quarter of the population of this nation is in classrooms of some kind, going about the business of educating. The business, perhaps – but is there yet a science of educating?
Brains R Us brings together researchers, educators, policymakers, parents, and students in a town hall forum to discuss the state of the science of educating, from the synapse to schoolroom, from neurons to neighborhoods. Come discover why timing is everything.
