How can theorists, activists and artists develop a useful framework to explore the complex implications of using these technologies? This version of the Codes and Modes Symposium aims to create an intervention into the uncritical excitement…

Call for Abstracts Phenomenology and Virtuality Conference 29-30 May 2017, KU Leuven, Belgium Deadline: 31st January 2017 What is virtuality? How do we experience it? What is its relation to perception and imagination? What is its status with regard to the real and irreal, actual and possible, present and absent? Can we give a phenomenological account of virtuality? Finally, how are present-day virtual technologies changing not only our daily lives, but perhaps even the ways we think and behave? It is such questions that this two-day international conference on Phenomenology and Virtuality seeks to address. This call for abstracts is therefore…

SPECIAL ISSUE ON: COGNITIVE ARCHITECTURES FOR ARTIFICIAL MINDS Journal of Cognitive Systems Research http://www.journals.elsevier.com/cognitive-systems-research/call-for-papers/special-issue-on-cognitive-architectures-for-artificial-mind INTRODUCTION The design and adaptation of Cognitive Architectures (CA) is a wide and active area of research in Cognitive Science, Artificial Intelligence and, more recently, in the areas of Computational Neuroscience, Cognitive Robotics, and Computational Cognitive Systems. Cognitive architectures have been historically introduced i) to capture, at the computational level, the invariant mechanisms of human cognition, including those underlying the functions of reasoning, control, learning, memory, adaptivity, perception and action, ii) to form the basis for the development of cognitive capabilities through ontogeny over extended periods…
