Abstract :

Panpsychism was proposed as an alternative to emergentism in order to consider consciousness not as a result of the complexity of lower levels, but as a fundamental truth in the world, and in this way, to overcome the challenges faced by emergentism. In this lecture, while illustrating emergentism framework and its two weak and strong versions, I will explain its main problem and ambiguity from the perspective of physicalism. Then, by explaining Panpsychism approach and the evolution of its versions during recent decades, aim to show that more reasonable versions of Panpsychism - which do not suffer from the "problem of composition" - face the main challenge of emergentism, and ultimately fall under the same framework. Also, while referring to Mulla Sadra's view of physical occurrence, I will explain its basic similarity with strong emergentism and its common challenge with the above two ideas.

Abstract :

This talk will argue that the reason that perception is fundamentally different from cognition is that perception is non-conceptual whereas cognition is conceptual. I will review evidence that infants between the ages of 6 and 11 months can see colors but cannot accomplish even the simplest kinds of cognition involving colors. Children of the same ages can see shapes and also exhibit cognition with shape concepts. I will argue that the upshot is that color perception of these infants is non-conceptual and that one can extrapolate from this finding to all of perception.

Abstract:

Visual attention is an integral part of our daily life. A network of cortical and subcortical structures are involved in control of visual attention. To date, how these areas interact with each other and the chain of events giving rise to visual attention are still unclear. I will present our findings regarding the neurons and neuromodulators involved in control of visual cortical signals and discuss how these findings help us untangle the neural circuitry of attention.
