I hope I will get more familiar with the system, and it will not a problem anymore, how I can find there, what should I do, and I will have a clear daily scedule. Linguistics: I always understood language as something very deep, very intuitive. I write by myslef, and readed a lot of literature, and for me language was not a set of rool but a tool for a self expression, and the expression of a deep feeling, where only with reading longer texts, or with a strange metaphore, something can be explained. For example an emotion, a feeling, a situation. More than a simple story. Literature has individual meaning, and individual interpretation. I expect to understand more how the language works. Because it is made of ourself (symbolic system), and has a great capacity to express something not that clear, not that logical thing. Something what cognitive science does. General Cognitive Lecture: It would be interesting to see what is possible now (in application), and also the boundaries. What are the main focuses of the research. In Neuroscience I am expecting a deeper understanding how it works, because what I still understood that we look into a brain, see just some reaction, and we tell oh that is there. But why does it need for us? It does not mean that I knew what is a book about, if I just knew where I find it. AI is very interesting especially the applications, I would expect to have a deeper look how it is made, because they can show many many beautiful things, and I have still no idea which algorithm it makes, or what kind of systems do I need for them. How could I participate as a cognitive scientists in them? In Models of personalities would be interested what kind of an aspects of a personality and emotion can be applied to the computer. What is the state of the art, and what soft factors there are. Can we accept these personalites at all? I also ask if ethics would be. Could it be dangerous? It will be great to live in the next 20 years, better Human Computer Interaction application..etc. But what happens later? Lecture series comes one of the most interesting title for me: Happiness, thats what even Cognitive Scientists desire. What is happiness at all? Flow? A dynamic state, a moment? Can we reach happinness all the time, or is it an illusion. Do we learn to be happy? How does this influence us? Changes my happiness others? How much is cognitive from it? I have no Idea what naturalizing cognitive science can have a mean. There will be two lab excursions: Artificial Intelligence. Lets see some of the interesting application the last Lecture series was about. I would like to use such systems. And to see possible applications where it can develope in the future. I just took a look at the homepage of the KLI, sounds also interesting. I am looking for an interesting Teamwork Session.
