Summer School in Cognitive Science "Cognition, Art, and Culture"

Host Institution: Universität Wien
Coordinating Institution: Universität Wien
Website: https://cognitivescience.univie.ac.at/summer-school-2016

Dates: 26-Aug-2016 - 02-Sep-2016

Focus: The summer school in Cognitive Science "Cognition, Art, and Culture" will focus on interdisciplinary cooperation in Cognitive Science.

Special Qualifications:
It is addressed to PhD students of the arts, humanities and social sciences. Postdocs in the humanities who want to broaden their expertise on empirical methods, and motivated/advanced Master students with experience in interdisciplinary work are welcome to apply.


Description:
The “Cognitive Turn” – initiated in Psychology and Computer Science – has
reached the Social Sciences and Humanities that traditionally study art and
culture. The new encounter of academic disciplines poses challenges for
researchers, teachers and students. At the first glance incompatible
conceptualizations of the objects of investigation and differences in applied
methodologies (quantitative vs. qualitative) require skills in
interdisciplinary scientific communication.

The univie: summer school in Cognitive Science will bring together scholars
from neuroscience, psychology, philosophy and art history, to explore the new
paradigms of empirical aesthetics, neuroaesthetics, cognitive science and
empirical methods (fMRI, Eye Tracking, Facial EMG) in theory and practice.

Participants will have the opportunity to attend keynote lectures and
workshops with the leading researchers of the international congress of the
IAEA 2016. 

Excursions to important institutions in Vienna will round off this inspiring
late summer experience.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.


Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
