Communication

Brynn Quick compares communication imagined by Australian healthcare policies with the work required in multilingual clinical settings. Analysis of thirteen policies shows how patients are often expected to identify their own interpreter needs, while staff receive little guidance on assessing English proficiency. The discussion examines how apparently language-neutral communication standards can obscure unequal access.

…It considers how communication between researchers and policymakers, together with stronger mathematics education, can inform decisions about the technology.

…exhibits many similarities with human communication, meeting widely used empirical criteria for intentionality. At the same time, there remain some manifest differences. How to account for these similarities and differences in a unified way remains a major challenge. This presentation will summarise the arguments developed in a recent paper with Christophe Heintz. We make a key distinction between the expression of intentions (Ladyginian) and the expression of specifi

…of cognition, social behaviour and communication, and ultimately the evolution of intelligence in the primate order. I will present results from field experimental and observational studies on free-ranging baboons, which tap into the cognitive abilities of these animals. Baboons are particularly valuable in this context as differen

Communication is an inherently interactive behavior involving the coordinated exchange of social signals between two or more individuals. Studies exploring the neural basis of communication in the primate brain have traditionally focused on how these signals are processed or produced, leaving many facets of vocal behavior largely unexplored. One challenge has been limitations of traditional analyses for quantifying the often variable, dynamic nature of natural communication behaviors, such as conversational exchanges. Here we recorded the activity of single neurons in prefrontal and premotor c

…we will discuss about the communication between the brain and other systems that shapes how we feel the external word and how we think. We are starting to unravel how ou

…animals rely on bioluminescence for communication, feeding, and/or defense, so the generation and detection of light is essential to their survival. Our present knowledge of this phenomenon has been limited due to the difficulty in bringing up live deep-sea animals to the surface, and the lack of proper techniques needed to study this complex system. However, new genomic techniques are now available, and a team with extensive experience in deep-

…network to facilitate interaction and communication. In this talk, I will show that introducing temporal variation in the network structure can lead to efficient synchronization even when stable synchrony is impossible in any static network under the given budget. Our strategy is based on an open-loop control scheme and alludes to a fundament

…for perception, reasoning, and communication. We argue that analogy-building served a critical role in the evolution of cumulative culture, by allowing humans to learn and transmit complex behavioural sequences that would otherwise be too cognitively demanding or opaque to acquire. The emergence of a protolanguage consisting of simple labels would have provided early humans with the cognitive tools to build explicit analogies and to communicate them to others. This focus on analogy-building can shed ne
