- 26 - 28 ottobre, Alghero, Incontro Internazionale: "Self and Other in Social Neuroscience and Philosophy of Mind"
Presso l'Asilo Sella nel Lungomare Garibaldi di Alghero si terrà la conferenza internazionale organizzato nell'ambito del progetto Contact dalla Facoltà di Architettura di Alghero e l'Università di Edinburgo, parte del programma Eurocores (“Consciousness in a Natural and Cultural Context” and it is funded by the European Science Foundation).
Le giornate saranno incentrate sui temi attuali delle Neurosceinza Sociale e la Filosofia della Mente: "Philosophers have for a long time been puzzled by how we can acquire knowledge of other minds. The discovery of the mirror neuron system by neuroscientists working in the University of Parma suggests that we may be linked to others at a fundamental yet primitive level. Mirror neurons are neurons that respond both when an action is observed and when it is initiated, pointing to a tight connection in the brain between seeing and doing the same thing. The understanding of another’s actions may involve the internal recognition of what it is to perform that action oneself, and the mirror neuron system may underlie our ability to understand the actions, intentions and emotions of others. Could mirror neurons provide the underlying basis for human interaction and social cognition?"
Gli organizzatori sono: Fabio Bacchini (Sassari), Andy Clark (Edinburgh), Eva Hoogland (ESF), Julian Kiverstein (Edinburgh), Corrado Sinigaglia (Milano), Silvano Tagliagambe (Sassari).
