Spotify for CreatorsMETACOGNITION: THE SCIENCE OF SELF-AWARENESS - Stephen Fleming PHD #63 by Chasing ConsciousnessHow and why did human’s develop self-awareness of what we know and don’t know? How does it develop in relation to how we evaluate what other people know? What are the risks of cognitive bias tainting our ability to learn and self correct? In this episode, we have the interesting question of our own self-awareness, or Meta-cognition, to understand. For centuries philosophers have called on us to “know thyself”, but only now with the tools of modern neuroscience have we been able to scientifically quantify the way we consciously track our behaviour, performance, thoughts and knowledge. So today we’ll be getting into why this is important for learning and error correction; we’re going to talk about meta-cognition’s use for “mind reading” I.e. tracking our confidence in others in their own knowledge, both friends and foes, fundamental for the evolution of our collaborative groups; the implications of cognitive bias blind spots in metacognition for updating our collective beliefs over time; also whether metacognition is proportionally correlated to intelligence; and how technology and AI has and will influence the future of our self-awareness, and whether it’s convenient to try programming AI to be metacognitive too, or if that would invite disaster. For these matters there can be no better guest than University College London Cognitive neuroscience Professor, Stephen Fleming. He’s the author of the 2021 book “Know Thyself, the science of self awareness”, and founder of the Meta Cognition Group at UCL, and the group leader of the Max Plank, UCL Centre for Computational Neuroscience. What we discuss: 00:00 Intro 05:15 Striking aspects of experience get you thinking. 08:00 ‘Know thyself’ - a moral, social and spiritual responsibility 10:00 Lao Tsu - to think you know when you do not is a disease. 11:00 Tracking the quality of our performance, error correction and learning. 14:00 Cognitive offloading - compensating for our limitations. 14:30 Metacognition and intelligence are similar but different. 17:40 Inside-out modelling of the world influences your cognition. 20:45 The brain has confidence in colour - Subjective inflation in the periphery. 22:00 UCL metacognition lab experiments - confidence in performance. 25:20 Metacogntiive efficiency - skill in evaluating your success. 26:20 MRI scans of the processes of self-aware brain activity. 28:50 Sam Harris - Self-awareness in the brain vs Ego-self. 33:20 Mind reading/Theory of mind: Evaluation of others VS evaluation of myself. 38:50 Children’s learning 43:40 Chris Frith - metacognition for collaboration: Balancing our own VS group evaluations. 44:30 Supremacy of collective knowledge 46:45 Why did self-awareness evolve? 51:30 The fight or flight mental state trumps self-reflective evaluation. 54:00 Stress blunts frontal cortex activity. 54:20 Modern life stress is not the same as the stress we evolved for. 57:20 We need self-reflection in stressful arguments but it’s not available. 58:20 Education: re-presenting your ideas - an antidote to over confidence. 01:04:00 Left Brain Interpreter - lack of self-awareness of our cognitive bias. 01:10:00 Exacerbated confidence judgements in internet/social media information ecosystems. 01:14:40 Awareness of the inside out way we construct our view of the world could be positive for compassion. 01:17:10 Balancing long-term societal self awareness, with traditional short term one. 01:21:00 The influence of Ai and technology on our self awareness. 01:26:30 ‘Offloading’ aids for cognition VS replacements for our cognition?

"Israel's fallacy of militant nationalism without the thugs"

New piece on making sense on the mixed messages we keep getting from Israel, Gaza and Zionism.

It is the fallacy of highly educated people like Yuval Noah Harari I like to point out here.

We liberals are far too trusting. We keep making excuses for the conservatives, because we'd prefer them not to be be real.

My paper on adaptation after-effects in autistic and non-autistic teenagers is out in Autism Research! 🎉

"Autistic and nonautistic adolescents do not differ in adaptation to gaze direction"

These autistic teens show a large adaptation after-effect behaviourally, though we don't see the after-effects in EEG, and we try to interpret this in light of Predictive Processing accounts of autism.

doi.org/10.1002/aur.3118

Two panels with boxplots, the lefthand one subtitled "Pre-adaptation" and the righthand one subtitled "Post-adaptation". The legend shows blue solid lines for "Autistic group" and red dashed lines for "Nonautistic group". On both, the y axis reads "Proportion" and goes from 0 to 1 and the x axis reads "Adapted", "Direct" and "Unadapted". In the lefthand Pre-adaptation panel, the boxplots for both groups are around 0.25 for both Adapted and Unadapted, with Direct at around 0.5. In the righthand Post-adaptation panel, the boxplots for both groups are around 0 for Adapted, around 0.6 for Direct and around 0.3 for Unadapted. This means that both groups responded similarly to the manipulation and both showed a strong adaptation after-effect.

@clarepress and I are excited to share this #preprint about the history of #cognitivePsychology and #neuroscience research on how expectations influence #perception

We talk about a handful of the technological and theoretical advances that have enabled discoveries that could not have happened previously, and about the fact that technological and theoretical advances scaffold each other in a virtuous cycle.

We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Just woke up from my first ever conference nightmare. Couldn't find my room, had to wear mismatched socks, had to leave my kid unattended, lost my glove, my session was in a different day than I thought, arrived too late to it, moderator was giving me the evil eye, and my poster had printed wrong so it was an A4 size with tiny tiny letters and figures just at the top. BUT the poster format was kind of brilliant. The poster was attached to a stick and then all presenters walked around, waving their poster around like a flag. Much more effective in attracting attention I am sure. We should change this. #Petition #Posters #CognitiveScience #Neuroscience #VisionScience #CognitivePsychology #Conferences #VSS2023 #ECVP2023
