<br>Causality is one of the key concepts that require clarification if we want to
<br>understand scientific practice. Causal knowledge is useful for prediction and
<br>scientific explanation and is indispensable when we endeavour to intervene in
<br>the world. Causal relations are ubiquitous, but sometimes hard to discover.
<br>This holds for science in general, and for neuroscience and the psychological
<br>sciences in particular.
<br>
<br>Questions relating to causality can best be answered in an inter- and
<br>transdisciplinary way, involving researchers from as many scientific
<br>disciplines as possible. This, at least, is the view underlying the
<br>‘Causality in the Sciences’ (CitS) conference series. Therefore this
<br>conference aims to bring together philosophers and scientists to explore the
<br>notion of causality at the interplay of the neurological and psychological
<br>sciences. We invite submissions on a wide range of topics, including:
<br>
<br>- The nature of causality in the neuro- and psychological sciences
<br>- The methods used to test for causal relations in these disciplines
<br>- The roles of evidence and theory in grounding causal claims in the
<br>neuro- and psychological sciences
<br>- Empirical (cognitive, neurological, …) studies into actual causal
<br>reasoning
<br>- What philosophers can learn from neuro- and psychological
<br>scientists’ perspectives on causality, and vice versa
<br>- Causal modeling (including machine learning and AI) in relation to
<br>the neurological and psychological sciences
<br>- The causal efficacy of psychiatric drugs and their relation to
<br>non-pharmaceutical therapies
<br>- The relation between the topics of causation and of extended/
<br>embodied/ situated/ enactive/… cognition
<br>- The relation between neurological causation and causality in the
<br>psychological sciences
<br>- The (im)possibility of inter-level causal relations in relation to
<br>these sciences
<br>- Causality as it relates to reduction and other inter-theoretic
<br>relations
<br>
<br>Submissions on other but related topics are welcome too, provided they engage
<br>with both causality and the neuro- and/or psychological sciences. Abstracts
<br>should be limited to 500 words, they must be anonymous and should be submitted
<br>via Easychair:
