Wednesday 8th March: Christoph Völter

by Christine Caldwell

Dear all, For this week's BERG meeting we have Christoph Völter coming over from St Andrews. Christoph is currently covering Amanda Seed's duties (both as Living Links research coordinator, and in St Andrews) while she is on maternity leave, so it's a great opportunity to get him over here to talk to us! http://www.eva.mpg.de/psycho/staff/christoph-voelter/index.html?Fsize=0 The title of his talk is: "Explaining away: how great apes learn causal structures by discounting alternatives". If you would be interested in coming for a drink and/or quick dinner with Christoph after the meeting then please just let me know. He will need to dash off reasonably early to get back to St Andrews so it definitely won't be a late one. As usual the meeting will begin at 5.30pm in the Psychology Common Room, and drinks and nibbles will be provided. Hope to see you there! Christine.
