Lab meeting schedule
Instructions
Lab meetings are fridays at 10:30am in 10 Giannini. 1/2 hour 'business' stuff followed by a scientific presentation.
The presenter on the list can talk about his own work or a paper (send pdf out to the group a couple of days before). Fill in your title/abstract as soon as you know what you'll be talking about. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, just a line or two so we know what you'll be talking about. E.g. I'll talk about my analysis of blablabla, or I'll present 'paper title'.
If you haven't filled in anything, I'll remind you a week before lab meeting. But I have better things to do than being lab meeting nazi, so please get your act together.
You're welcome to switch dates individually, but talk to the one you're switching with.

- Title/abstract: Coincidences and curious complexity
Is there a relationship between noticing a coincidence in a higher-level cognition sense, such as detecting "non-random" patterns in a series of coin flips, and experience-dependent changes in "attentional" preferences, such as developmental changes in looking times? Perhpas not but I'll spin a yarn in any case. I'll start with a review of Griffiths & Tenebaum (in press), "From mere coincidence to meaningful discoveries" (link here: http://cocosci.berkeley.edu/tom/papers/coincidences.pdf). Then I follow with some ill formed ideas of my own.
