[CogSci] DUCOG 2025 – Understanding the Self and the Other

[DUCOG - Dubrovnik Conference on Cognitive Science]

Dear All,

We are pleased to announce the XVI. 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)
