>BISCA Hierarchies of Representation Conference
>10 to 15 September 2001, Bolzano, Italy
>
>One of the starting-points of mainstream contemporary
>cognitive science is the assumption that knowledge
>essentially consists of the manipulation of inner
>representations.  BISCA 2001 will address fundamental
>questions regarding the nature of such representation.
>The conference will attend both to the multigranular
>processes and hierarchies of knowledge representation
>and to those aspects of knowledge representation more
>tied to phenomena of assimilation and perceptual
>organization.
>
>Other topics to be addressed include the link between
>emotions and cognitive processes in perception; the role
>played by aesthetics in perceptual experience; perceptual
>organization; and shape recognition. Experimental
>psychologists, cognitive scientists, computer scientists
>and philosophers with a scientific approach to the
>question of representation are likely to benefit from
>attending the conference.
>
>Speakers include James Pomerantz (Rice University),
>Irving Biederman (University of Southern California),
>Alexander Meystel (Drexel University), John Willats
>(University of Birmingham) and Alf Zimmer (University of
>Regensburg).
