Call for Papers - Special Issue: Early Rationality in Action Perception and Production?

A special issue of the Journal of Experimental Child Psychology (JECP),
guest-edited by Markus Paulus and Ildiko Kiraly, will be devoted to
empirical research articles investigating questions concerning early
rationality in action perception and production. Within recent years, the
question of early rationality in action perception and production has become
a topic of great interest in developmental psychology, comparative
psychology, and cognitive science. On the one hand, studies have provided
evidence for rational action perception and action imitation even in very
young infants. On the other hand, scholars have recently questioned these
interpretations and proposed that the ability to rationally evaluate actions
is not yet in place in infancy.

"Inferring visual 'receptive' states from EEG and TMS"

Abstract:
There is renewed interest in the relationship between the (internal) state
of the brain before stimulus arrival and subsequent stimulus processing.
Using EEG or TMS (either alone or in combination), my aim is to study the
mechanisms that bias the visual network into one state or another,
conditioning where (spatial biases), when (speed) and whether (awareness) an
upcoming visual stimulus will be consciously perceived. My talk will focus
on changes in oscillatory EEG activity (especially in the alpha frequency
band) as a potential correlate of spontaneous and task-dependent modulations
of visual cortex activity and excitability sustaining discrete perceptual
