SUMMARY:Christian Poth (Bielefeld University)\, “Task-Driven Phasic Alertness: How Being Ready for Action Relies on the Current Task”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nHumans often must respond quickly to events happening in their environment. To support fast perception and action\, the brain has evolved a warning system. Warning stimuli are used to elicit a transient state of readiness for perception and action (phasic alertness) that results in faster perceptual processing and faster decision-making for action. Phasic alertenss is assumed to be “unintelligent” in the sense that it is driven by the warning stimuli\, irrespective of the cognitive task set and the expectations guiding goal-directed behavior in the current task. Here\, we review recent findings that falsify this assumption. We provide evidence that phasic alertness presupposes an expectation that stimuli can serve as a warning within the current task. In addition\, we show that within a task\, phasic alertness unfolds in action-focused episodes that restrict its effects to only the next action in an action sequence. Together\, these findings reveal that phasic alertness is not entirely stimulus-based (bottom-up)\, but also relies on the cognitive mechanisms for (top-down) control of task-driven and goal-directed action and thus the “intelligent” interaction with the environment.\n\n\n\n\nThis talk will take place in person at SCIoI. \nPhoto by Kirill Pershin on Unsplash \n

SUMMARY:Fariba Karimi (Graz University of Technology)\, "Complexity Science for Societal Good"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nSocial inequalities — structured and recurrent patterns of unequal distribution of wealth\, opportunities\, and rewards — are on the rise\, and quick-fix\, top-down approaches are failing. Structural inequality is one of the important manifestations of social inequalities in which institutions\, policies\, and societies create systems of privilege that are structural barriers to equality and inclusiveness. Structural inequalities emerge and evolve in complex multi-dimensional social networks. With the rise of artificial intelligence and algorithms in decision-making processes\, such inequalities are being reinforced and exacerbated in a non-linear\, complex manner that is difficult to comprehend and tackle. To address and mitigate such timely issues\, we need a complexity science approach and interdisciplinary teams more than ever.\n\n\n\n\nThis talk will take place in person at SCIoI. \nPhoto by Vincentiu Solomon on Unsplash. \n
