Talk Title: "Analogizing the Brain: The Way Analogies Can Structure Scientific Modeling and Ontology" ? Date: Fri, February 16th, 2024 ? Time: 12:30 - 2:00 PM ? Location: 100 College Street, Room 1167 *About the Speaker: *Dr. Eric Hochstein, an Associate Professor and Graduate Coordinator in Philosophy at the University of Victoria, is renowned for his expertise in the history and philosophy of science, particularly in neuroscience and psychology. With academic credentials from Concordia University, the University of British Columbia, and the University of Waterloo, Dr. Hochstein's research delves into the dynamics of scientific theories and models, especially in understanding complex phenomena like the study of the mind. His notable career includes positions as a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow at Washington University in St. Louis and a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Leeds. A prolific author, his work appears in esteemed journals like The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science and Philosophical Quarterly, reflecting his deep engagement with philosophical and scientific communities. To learn more about Dr. Hochstein's work, please visit his personal webpage or Google Scholar . *Talk Abstract:* Scientific pluralism (or what I will call ?model pluralism?) has garnered a great deal of attention in recent years. According to this view, we cannot use a single scientific model or representation to characterize all features of a complex system or phenomenon, and we are instead dependent on employing collections of distinct, and often contradictory, models in order to learn about different facets of it. While there have been different reasons offered to explain why this is the case, I propose there is an often-overlooked factor that may play an important role in understanding model pluralism. Specifically, that the role analogies play in model building provides essential insights into why we are so dependent on collections of incompatible models when studying one and the same complex phenomenon. In addition to this, I argue that the way in which analogical reasoning influences model building also provides new insights into how our cognitive ontology can shift and change over time in subtle ways. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Applications can be submitted at this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf2ywL6WhF21IMjVbF-l_LjZiYIXKob37n6jEkXn7Vvk6Kw_Q/viewform [All details about this school can be found online at https://www.nengo.ai/summer-school/] The Centre for Theoretical Neuroscience at the University of Waterloo is excited to announce our 9th annual Nengo summer school on large-scale brain modelling and neuromorphic computing. This two-week school will teach participants to use the Nengo simulation package to build state-of-the-art cognitive and neural models to run both in simulation and on neuromorphic hardware. Summer school participants will be given on-site access to neuromorphic hardware and will learn to run high-level applications using Nengo! More generally, Nengo provides users with a versatile and powerful environment for designing cognitive and neural systems and has been used to build what is currently the world's largest functional brain model, Spaun, which includes spiking deep learning, reinforcement learning, adaptive motor control, and cognitive control networks. For a look at the last in-person summer school, check out this short video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRcN5-0wdQE&feature=youtu.be We welcome applications from all interested graduate students, postdocs, professors, and industry professionals with a relevant background. ***Application Deadline: February 15, 2024*** Format: A combination of tutorials and project-based work. Participants are encouraged to bring their own ideas for projects, which may focus on testing hypotheses, modelling neural or cognitive data, implementing specific behavioural functions with neurons, expanding past models, or providing a proof-of-concept of various neural mechanisms. Hands-on tutorials, work on individual or group projects, and talks from invited faculty members will make up the bulk of day-to-day activities. A project demonstration event will be held on the last day of the school, with prizes for strong projects! Participants will have the opportunity to learn how to: interface Nengo with various kinds of neuromorphic hardware (e.g. BrainDrop, SpiNNaker) build perceptual, motor, and sophisticated cognitive models using spiking neurons model anatomical, electrophysiological, cognitive, and behavioural data use a variety of single cell models within a large-scale model integrate machine learning methods into biologically oriented models interface Nengo with cameras and robotic systems implement modern nonlinear control methods in neural models and much more? Date and Location: June 2nd to June 14th, 2024 at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

Due to having a speaker this week, we will *not be hosting journal club on Wednesday *and will be restarting on a new theme next week. Stay tuned for more details, and respond to this email if you are interested in joining our journal club! ?? Talk Title: "Analogizing the Brain: The Way Analogies Can Structure Scientific Modeling and Ontology" ? Date: Fri, February 16th, 2024 ? Time: 12:30 - 2:00 PM ? Location: 100 College Street, Room 1167 *About the Speaker: *Dr. Eric Hochstein, an Associate Professor and Graduate Coordinator in Philosophy at the University of Victoria, is renowned for his expertise in the history and philosophy of science, particularly in neuroscience and psychology. With academic credentials from Concordia University, the University of British Columbia, and the University of Waterloo, Dr. Hochstein's research delves into the dynamics of scientific theories and models, especially in understanding complex phenomena like the study of the mind. His notable career includes positions as a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow at Washington University in St. Louis and a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Leeds. A prolific author, his work appears in esteemed journals like The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science and Philosophical Quarterly, reflecting his deep engagement with philosophical and scientific communities. To learn more about Dr. Hochstein's work, please visit his personal webpage or Google Scholar . *Talk Abstract:* Scientific pluralism (or what I will call ?model pluralism?) has garnered a great deal of attention in recent years. According to this view, we cannot use a single scientific model or representation to characterize all features of a complex system or phenomenon, and we are instead dependent on employing collections of distinct, and often contradictory, models in order to learn about different facets of it. While there have been different reasons offered to explain why this is the case, I propose there is an often-overlooked factor that may play an important role in understanding model pluralism. Specifically, that the role analogies play in model building provides essential insights into why we are so dependent on collections of incompatible models when studying one and the same complex phenomenon. In addition to this, I argue that the way in which analogical reasoning influences model building also provides new insights into how our cognitive ontology can shift and change over time in subtle ways. *Although in person attendance is highly encouraged, if you are unable to attend in person you can join over Zoom . * -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
