SYLLABUS

Course descriptions: The course on non-linguistic representation explores the representation of information and concepts beyond verbal language, focusing on visual, auditory, and tactile forms. It investigates cognitive processes behind non-verbal communication, bridging natural and artificial systems. The aim is to understand the theories and mechanisms of non-linguistic representation, its applications, and its influence on human cognition and artificial intelligence.

The seminar will be organized around guest lectures from international researchers in philosophy and cognitive science. (The first two meetings will be for background.)
