The EBICC has taken place in Brazil since 1995, organized by the Brazilian Society of Cognitive Science (SBCC). The conference is inter/transdisciplinary in nature, and this 11th edition will congregate researchers students, and scholars from different areas and fields related to Cognitive Science, such as Arts, Biology, Computation, Communication, Education, Engineering, Information Theory, Linguistics, Philosophy, Physics, and Semiotics, to debate the interrelationship among consciousness, complexity, and autonomy.
Main themes of EBICC 2017:
- Complexity and consciousness: an interdisciplinary horizon in the study of autonomous action;
- Autonomy, complexity, and consciousness in the post-human;
- Autonomy, complexity, and consciousness in the information age;
- Autonomy, complexity, and artificial agency;
- Autonomy, complexity, and consciousness: inter-, multi-, and transdisciplinary dialogues;
- Autonomy, information technology, and complexity: advances in Cognitive Science.
Some of the sub-themes targeted by EBICC 2017:
- Information, mind, and consciousness;
- Information, structure, and complexity;
- Logic, information, and autonomous action;
- Semiotics, meaning, and consciousness;
- Language, communication, and learning in complex systems;
- Emotion, cognition, and autonomous action;
- Perception, awareness, and consciousness;
- Art, esthetic experience, and consciousness;
- Evolution of the concepts of complexity, autonomy, and consciousness;
- Intelligence augmentation, autonomy, and complexity;
- Communication, technology, and autonomous action;
- Agents and cognitive games and their educational and sociocultural roles;
- Virtual reality, augmented reality, and autonomy;
- Self-organization, complexity, and autonomy;
- Technology, interaction and social complexity;
- Big data, complexity, and autonomy.
Call for submission of artistic and cultural proposals
The Cultural Committee of XI International Brazilian Meeting on Cognitive Science (EBICC 2017) also opens call for submissions of artistic and cultural proposals for presentation during the event. Proposals should point out their direct or indirect relation to the themes and subthemes of the meeting with a privileged focus - but not unique - in the post-human context brought by the transformations that the new cognitive technologies enable and that are experienced by Art.
Questions about this special call for submission and proposals must be send directly to Ariane Porto Rimoli, chair of the Cultural Committee: arianerimoli@gmail.com
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
Full papers – For reporting original works of scholars, researchers, and postgraduate students; from 7 to 10 pages of text, including abstract, references, and information about the authors, and up to two extra pages of figures.
Communications – For reporting findings and developments of ongoing research; from 4 to 5 pages of text, including abstract, figures, references, and information about the authors.
Posters – For reporting current works of researchers, students (undergraduate or graduate). The poster proposal must be submitted in the form of a one-page abstract with references and indication of the sponsoring institution and advisor. Accepted posters should be printed and assembled by the authors.
Ethical criteria for acceptance:
Works should not describe or use invasive experiments involving humans or non-human animals. The SBCC sustains the ethical principle, following the Cambridge Declaration on Consciousness (2012), which holds that if non-human animals can be considered conscious, then the experimental restrictions applied should be the same as those imposed for experiments involving humans.
Languages
The official languages of EBICC 2017 are English, and Portuguese for regular work submissions and presentations.
