Dubrovnik Conference on Cognitive Science devoted to Understanding the Self and the Other. The conference will take place between *22 and 25 May 2025* in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Distinguishing oneself from others is a precursor to the development of many social skills, including coordination and communication. Representing others? perspectives, while still distinguishing it from our own is an essential part of human interactions, and therefore of our mental lives. This supports our understanding of ourselves and others around us ? it helps us make sense of what we are doing, make predictions, and plan our subsequent actions appropriately. How do we learn to distinguish our bodies and minds from those of other people, and what are the mechanisms and relation between understanding ourselves and others? In this conference, we will bring together researchers that have attempted to address this broad question from different angles such as social-, developmental- and comparative cognition and philosophy, to explore the topic of how we understand and distinguish our own and others? intentions, actions, thoughts, and ultimately, self and other. *Invited speakers will include:* Josep Call (University of St Andrews) Senay Cebioglu (MPI EVA) Arvid Guterstam (Karolinska Institutet) Marlene Meyer (Radboud University) Elisabeth Pacherie (Institut Jean-Nicod, CNRS, EHESS, ENS-PSL) Philippe Rochat (Emory University) For more information please visit https://ducog.cecog.eu or email us at: ducog at cecog.eu *Poster abstract submissions will be open between 1 January and 28 February 2025.* On behalf of the organisers, *Louise Goupil (CNRS / University Grenoble Alpes) & Dora Kampis (University of Copenhagen)* *- Conference chairs* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
