SUMMARY:Open Research Forum
DESCRIPTION:Join the University’s Open Research Champions to learn about and discuss Open Research. All members of the University are welcome to attend. Visit the event page for details and booking. \nWe have two excellent talks lined up for our September meeting: \nOrganising ourselves for world domination: how junior academics can work together to improve research culture (Jess Butler\, Senior Research Fellow at Centre for Health Data Science\, University of Aberdeen) \nWe are delighted to welcome Jess Butler\, who will discuss how funders and grassroots organisations are seeking to change research culture\, and how early career researchers can be empowered to promote change in their own universities. Jess is a passionate advocate for research improvement and an inspiring communicator. \nThe UNESCO Open Science Recommendation\, Open Research and ethics (Marzia Briel\, PhD student\, School of Law) \nOpen Research Champion Marzia Briel will discuss the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science (in draft). The Recommendation defines shared values and principles for Open Science\, and identifies measures on Open Access and Open Data\, with proposals to bring citizens closer to science and commitments to facilitate the production and dissemination of scientific knowledge around the world. Marzia will bring her expertise in research ethics and the law to bear on discussion of this important legal instrument. \n

SUMMARY:Dwoskin\, Disability and… Autobiography: Trying to Kiss the Moon
DESCRIPTION:This is the the third in a series of screening and discussion events exploring the experimental filmmaker Stephen Dwoskin’s complex relationships with disability and creativity\, memory and materiality. This event is co-hosted by the LUX and the Centre for Film Aesthetics and Cultures (CFAC) and supported by the Arts Committee and the Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives Fund of the University of Reading. \nWhile feminist critics often associated Dwoskin’s films with the male gaze\, he was equally prepared to turn the camera on himself. He conceived of TRYING TO KISS THE MOON (1994) as an autobiographical film\, after seeing a cache of his father’s home movies\, shot during his childhood in New York\, many of them showing him before he contracted polio and lost the use of his legs. These inspired reflections on\, among other themes\, disability and diaspora. \nAnd yet the finished film is far from straightforwardly autobiographical. As Laura Mulvey has written\, TRYING TO KISS THE MOON “tells the double story of memory\, bringing together the beauty of its documents and the sadness of its elusiveness”. Seemingly objective documents – both his father’s and his own home movies and still photographs – do not speak for themselves\, even to those who were there at the time. \nInstead\, TRYING TO KISS THE MOON is a kind of bricolage that never smoothly integrates its constitutive parts. The documents are material objects\, imperfect\, incomplete\, and made to seem so through Dwoskin’s painterly technique. Finished on the cusp of the digital era\, it can be seen as a farewell to analogue formats. It won praise from Raymond Bellour\, and Nicole Brenez saw in the home movies “magical moments” presaging the rest of Dwoskin’s career: “everything is already there!” \nThe event will begin with an introduction and communal viewing at 7pm on Thursday 22 July\, followed by a discussion with Jenny Chamarette (author of Phenomenology and the Future of Film)\, Rachel Garfield (author of Experimental Filmmaking and Punk)\, and Henry K. Miller (editor of The Essential Raymond Durgnat) from the AHRC-funded project\, ‘The Legacies of Stephen Dwoskin’s Personal Cinema’\, led by Rachel Garfield. \nTRYING TO KISS THE MOON has closed captions\, and the live discussion will be BSL interpreted and live captioned. The discussion will last no longer than 60 minutes. \nBook online here

SUMMARY:Understanding ourselves and others: reasoning and rationality (RCCR Summer Seminar Series)
DESCRIPTION:Understanding ourselves and others: reasoning and rationality (summing up)\, Emma Borg\nReflections on this year’s Summer Seminar Series from Emma Borg\, Director of the Reading Centre for Cognition Research and Professor of Philosophy at University of Reading. \nThis seminar is part of The Reading Centre for Cognition Research’s 2021 Summer Seminar Series: Understanding ourselves and others: reasoning and rationality \nThe aim of this seminar series is to explore these newer approaches to reasoning and rationality\, looking at cutting edge work in the area and asking what these moves might tell us about how we go about understanding the actions of others and ourselves. \nA standard picture of humans as generally ordered and orderly thinkers has come under significant pressure in recent years\, in particular from the work of Kahneman and others who have stressed our susceptibility to a range of cognitive traps (such as framing or bias). Although the claim commonly associated with this school of thought – that we are ‘predictably irrational’\, in Ariely’s phrase – has been rejected by many\, even those who seek to defend our status as good reasoners often suggest a more complex and potentially messy set of processes\, mechanisms and features than those standardly appealed to in classic folk psychological approaches. \nAll welcome! \nIf you have any questions\, please email Emma Borg e.g.n.borg@reading.ac.uk \nMicrosoft Teams meeting – join here \nresearch.reading.ac.uk/cognition-research/

SUMMARY:Fairbrother Lecture: Living with More than One Language - The Effects of Bilingualism on Mind and Brain
DESCRIPTION:Dr Toms Voits\, UiT The Arctic University of Norway \nLanguage is frequently in the headlines\, from worries about people speaking too many languages or too few\, to questions of whether bilingualism protects against cognitive decline in later life. Bilingualism has featured prominently in language debates\, with stories often over-simplifying a more complex picture. \nJoin former Reading doctoral researcher Toms Voits on a journey through the uniqueness and complexity of the human brain’s capacity for language. This public lecture will introduce the ways in which two or more languages co-habit within a single mind\, how processing allows languages to compete and co-operate\, and the much-debated effects of bilingualism on mind and brain. With a focus on research on bilingualism in older adults\, the lecture will examine some of the complexities that need to be unpicked in order to understand relationships between ageing\, cognitive health and language. \n*Due to current restrictions\, this year’s Fairbrother Lecture will be delivered as a pre-recorded film that can be viewed online at any time after its release on Tuesday 11 May. \nTo sign up to receive the link to view the lecture recording please visit the Events page. \nFor further information contact Dr Joanna John. \nFor information on Fairbrother Lectures in other years see previous events.

SUMMARY:CINNergies Reading Club - Philosophy of science: do physiology and psychology align?
DESCRIPTION:CINNergies Reading Club\nPhilosophy of science: do physiology and psychology align?\n\n\n7th May 2021: 0900-1200 BST \nCINNergies are hosting a reading club and debate on the “Brain-Cognitive behaviour problem”. This debate is set to get to the heart of the challenges and potential benefits of interdisciplinary research. \nAccording to nature research: “Cognitive neuroscience is the field of study focusing on the neural substrates of mental processes. It is at the intersection of psychology and neuroscience\, but also overlaps with physiological psychology\, cognitive psychology and neuropsychology. It combines the theories of cognitive psychology and computational modelling with experimental data about the brain.” \nBut can this scientific field successfully navigate the complex interdisciplinarity of the issues it is set out to investigate? \nSign up here and see below to access some of the resources we’ll be discussing. \n\n\n\n\nArticles to read\nPodcasts to listen to\nWebinars to watch\n\n\n\nGyörgy Buzsáki\nThe Brain–Cognitive Behavior Problem: A Retrospective\n\n\nRuss Poldrack\nCognitive Ontologies\n(Brain Inspired)\n\n\nRuss Poldrak\nThe measurement crisis in cognitive neuroscience\n(Reading Emotions 2020)\n\n\n\n\nDavid Poeppel and Federico Adolfi\nAgainst the Epistemological Primacy of the Hardware: The Brain from Inside Out\, Turned Upside Down\n\n\nGyörgy Buzsáki and David Poeppel\n(Brain Inspired)\n\n\nAnastasia Christakou\nFrom molecules to mind\n\n\n\n\nShimon Marom\nDialogue Across Chasm: Are Psychology and Neurophysiology Incompatible?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCINNergies\, part of the Centre for Integrative Neuroscience and Neurodynamics (CINN)\, is a creative and diverse community of early career researchers who share an openness for and motivation to engage in interdisciplinary research.

This year’s event will be online and co-hosted by the University of Reading and the University of York. \nThis year’s lecture will be chaired by RES President Dame Carol Propper and delivered by Prof. Diane Coyle CBE\, Bennett Professor of Public Policy at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences. \nWhy digital is so disruptive: The Internet can be traced back to 1969\, the World Wide Web to 1990\, and iPhone to 2007 – yet it is only in the past few years that “digital disruption” has become a big theme in business. In this lecture\, Diane Coyle\, Bennett Professor of Public Policy at the University of Cambridge\, and an expert on the digital economy\, will explore why digital technology is rewiring the economy – especially now so much activity has been driven online – what economists are learning about its consequences\, and how economic policies need to change. \nPartners: Royal Economic Society and University of York \nFor more information please click here.
