ISN - March, 1998 Newsletter
ISN - March, 1998 Newsletter http://neuroethology.org/newsletter/news_archive/isn.news.mar98.html Newsletter March 1998 International Society for Neuroethology c/o Panacea Associates phone/fax: +001 (850) 894-3480 744 Duparc Circle E-mail: [email protected] Tallahassee FL 32312 USA Website: www.neurobio.arizona.edu/isn/ LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT With the arrival of a new year, an important transition began for the ISN. After many months of negotiations and planning, the ISN began a partnership with professional society managers, Panacea Associates (PA) of Tallahassee, Florida. PA is a small enterprise operated by Susan Lampman and Patricia Meredith, both of whom have had extensive experience in conference services, management of professional organizations, etc. PA has been managing the Association for Chemoreception Sciences (AChemS) for many years, and in that capacity they have earned a fine reputation for efficient and attentive service tailored to the needs of the organization. For a trial period of two years, most of the routine management operations of the ISN will be handled by PA. These services will be phased in over the next few months. For example, please notice that the membership form published in every issue of this Newsletter has changed. All completed membership forms, with payment as appropriate, should be mailed to the ISN at its new business address: International Society for Neuroethology, c/o Panacea Associates, 744 Duparc Circle, Tallahassee FL 32312, USA The ISN's new business phone/fax number is +001 (850) 894-3480, and its new business E-mail address is [email protected]. The URL of the ISN's Website will remain unchanged: www.neurobio.arizona.edu/isn/ I hope you have discovered by now that a searchable version of the ISN's Membership Directory is available at the Website. -

Worlds of Science and Magic 14/10/2020
More Fun Than Fun: Worlds of Science and Magic 14/10/2020 Photo: Leo Cardelli/Pexels. This article is part of the ‘More Fun Than Fun‘ column by Prof Raghavendra Gadagkar. He will explore interesting research papers or books and, while placing them in context, make them accessible to a wide readership. RAGHAVENDRA GADAGKAR I recently had great fun reading a fascinating book, called Experiencing the Impossible: The Science of Magic (2019), by Gustav Kuhn. I might not have read the book but for the remarkable fact that Gustav Kuhn is both a professional scientist and a professional magician. He is a reader in psychology at Goldsmiths, a constituent college of the University of London, and has published – in addition to this book – over 60 scholarly articles on the psychology and neurobiology of magic. He and his collaborators were the first to put volunteers into an fMRI machine while they were enjoying magic. They discovered that areas in the brains of their subjects involved in monitoring and managing conflict lit up preferentially. And of course, magic, as Kuhn explains in his book, involves a conflict between what we think is possible and what we think we have seen. In other studies, he has used eye-tracking technology to observe volunteers ‘succumbing’ to magic. His credentials as a magician are equally impressive: he is the president of the Science of Magic Association, a member of the Experimental Psychology Society and the Magic Circle. A young Gustav was hooked onto magic at 13 years, when his school-friend performed the trick of making an egg appear from behind his ear, and hasn’t looked back. -
Change of Concepts of Behaviour Over the Last 60 Years at Humboldt University Berlin
Nova Acta Leopoldina NF 111, Nr. 380, 29–59 (2013) Change of Concepts of Behaviour over the Last 60 Years at Humboldt University Berlin Günter TEMBROCK ML (†) With 18 Figures and 2 Boxes Abstract On September 1st, 1948, the institute of ethology or behavioural sciences was founded as Forschungsstätte für Tierpsychologie at Humboldt University Berlin. One of the first research subjects was Susi, the only chimpanzee surviving the war at the Zoo Berlin which resulted in my first book with an ethological approachGrundzüge der Schimpansen-Psychologie (Outlines of Chimpanzee Psychology). Basic concepts about communication and the development of behaviour emerged from the synthesis of evolutionary theory, systems theory, biocybernetics, and theory of self-organization, but also the development of computer technology had a decisive influence. Thus, a clear distinction from former animal psychology led to classical ethological themes defining “the concept of behaviour as organismic interaction with the environment on the basis of an exchange of information ensuring individual, ecological and inclusive fitness”. Some selected aspects will be addressed: Acoustic biocommunication was not seen as an isolated incidence of sound utterances, but as an interaction between sender and receiver, defined as affine, i. e. attractive, distance reducing and diffugous, i. e. aversive, distance enhancing sounds, whereas ambivalent intermediary signals stabilize the distance. It was part of the research on the behaviour of foxes, that led to a substantial increase of the Tierstimmenarchiv (Archive of Animal Sounds) and to the formation of bioacoustics. The Three-Vector-Model of Behaviour was developed as a framework for studying behaviour. Other specific concepts of behaviour as for example chronobiology and the Theory of Strata with four ‘strata (layers)’ emerged: evolutionary, biogenetic, tradigenetic and ratiogenetic potential. -
