We're lucky to have great speakers come by the IMC from near and far. This week, it was Janis Zickfield @aarhusbss.bsky.social telling as all about a network theory of emotion (while making sure we felt some awe and fear!).
All our talks our open - please feel free to join us next time! @arts.au.dk

How do we build theory in cogsci? traditional physics w its rich data and experimental possibilities is often used as parangon. We argue historical sciences provide an equally rich source: "Lessons for Theory from Scientific Domains Where Evidence is Sparse or Indirect": doi.org/10.1007/s421... 🧵 1/
Our daily lives are packed w complex behaviours: reading a novel & piecing together the plot; negotiating decisions w family... How do we build mathematical models of the underlying cognitive mechanisms? Our new preprint osf.io/d2v54_v1 argues for a community approach A 🧵 1/
It was such a pleasure to have you here and discuss how abstraction plays out in conversations! (interactingminds.au.dk/events/singl...)
