Conference on the Cognitive Penetrability of Perception

项目概述这是一个跨学科的会议，旨在促进思想的交流，希望启动心理学和哲学领域的年轻研究人员之间的合作努力。会议的主题是认知对感知的渗透，也就是说，与会者将讨论感知是否主要是由输入驱动的，或者认知状态，如信念、情绪、恐惧、期望、情感、欲望，是否会影响感知的内容或特征。知觉在实验心理学中得到了广泛的研究，在心灵哲学中也得到了广泛的讨论，并且一直是我们日常经验的一部分。智力价值会议的主要目的是汇集上述关于知觉理论化的不同观点，并讨论关于认知渗透这一主题的不同理论立场对认识论和更广泛的知觉理论的影响。关于认知渗透和相关心理现象的认知影响的理论化只是在最近几年才开始站稳脚跟，而且可以从更多的跨学科讨论中受益匪浅，这种讨论有助于将心理学研究与心灵哲学的理论化相结合。更广泛的影响与认知渗透相关的心理学和认识论问题最近在哲学中占据了重要地位，研究生和年轻研究人员进行了一系列新工作。这次会议将有助于深化对这一问题的讨论，并扩大哲学家们分析的实验范围。它还可能鼓励打破学术学科之间的界限，并探索这种研究和理论化路线对理解我们对世界的经验所产生的影响。这次会议对所有人开放，预计将吸引来自哲学、心理学、神经科学和文学等多个学术领域的与会者；因此，它将拓宽人们对大脑如何工作的基本问题的思考。

Project OverviewThis is an interdisciplinary conference to promote an exchange of ideas with the hope of initiating collaborative efforts between young researchers in psychology and philosophy. The topic of the conference is cognitive penetration of perception; that is to say, participants will discuss whether perception is primarily input-driven, or whether cognitive states such as beliefs, moods, fears, expectations, emotions, desires, can influence the content or character of perception. Perception is widely researched in experimental psychology, widely discussed in philosophy of mind, and a constant part of our everyday experience. Intellectual MeritThe primary aim of the conference is to bring together the different perspectives indicated above on theorizing about perception, and to address the implications of different theoretical positions on the topic of cognitive penetration for epistemology and theories of perception more generally. Theorizing about the epistemic impacts of cognitive penetration and related psychological phenomena has only begun to take hold in recent years, and could benefit immensely from increased interdisciplinary discussion that serves to integrate psychological research with theorizing in philosophy of mind. Broader ImpactsBoth the psychological and the epistemological issues related to cognitive penetration have recently taken a strong hold in philosophy, with a host of new work by graduate students and young researchers. This conference will serve to deepen discussion of the issue, and to widen the range of experiments analyzed by philosophers. It may also encourage the dissolution of the boundaries between academic disciplines, and explore the impact that this line of research and theorizing has for understanding our experience of the world. The conference is open to all, and is expected to draw attendance from across a number of academic areas, including philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and literature; it will thereby broaden thinking on fundamental questions about how the mind works.
