One of the starting-points of mainstream contemporary
cognitive science is the assumption that knowledge
essentially consists of the manipulation of inner
representations. BISCA 2001 will address fundamental
questions regarding the nature of such representation.
The conference will attend both to the multigranular
processes and hierarchies of knowledge representation
and to those aspects of knowledge representation more
tied to phenomena of assimilation and perceptual
organization.
Other topics to be addressed include the link between
emotions and cognitive processes in perception; the role
played by aesthetics in perceptual experience; perceptual
organization; and shape recognition. Experimental
psychologists, cognitive scientists, computer scientists
and philosophers with a scientific approach to the
question of representation are likely to benefit from
attending the conference.
Speakers include James Pomerantz (Rice University),
Irving Biederman (University of Southern California),
Alexander Meystel (Drexel University), John Willats
(University of Birmingham) and Alf Zimmer (University of
Regensburg).
Organized by: Mitteleuropa Foundation
