How do I use this calendar?

You can click on an event to display further information about it.

The toolbar above the calendar has buttons to view different events. Use the left and right arrow icons to view events in the past and future. The button inbetween returns you to today's view. The button to the right of this shows a mini-calendar to let you quickly jump to any date.

The dropdown box on the right allows you to see a different view of the calendar, such as an agenda or a termly view.

If this calendar has tags, you can use the labelled checkboxes at the top of the page to select just the tags you wish to view, and then click "Show selected". The calendar will be redisplayed with just the events related to these tags, making it easier to find what you're looking for.

WMA Talk: Kelsey Plaghat (Monash University) on 'Self-cognition and Predictive Processing'
E2.02

Predictive processing claims that we model the world in order to minimize the distance between our expectations generated by this mental model and information we get through the senses. This explains both perception and action. In representing the world, we also must represent ourselves in order to understand our own role in causing many of our sensations. In this way, our self is one of the many inferred hidden causes of sensory input, and is subject to the same domain-general dynamic updating mechanisms. Pushing this idea further, as in Hohwy and Michael (2017), the self could be conceived of as a meta-model which tracks the performance of the internal model of the world. These computational models of the self generate many related hypotheses, including the functional role of self-stimulatory behaviour (eg. fidgeting) and the role of the self in psychiatric disorders.
