Dealing specifically with the origins and development of human
language, this book is based on a selection of materials from a
recent international conference held at the Center of
Interdisciplinary Research at the University of Bielefeld in
Germany. The significance of the volume is that it testifies to
paradigmatic changes currently in progress. The changes are from
the typical emphasis on the syntactic properties of language and
cognition to an analysis of biological and cultural factors which
make these formal properties possible. The chapters provide
in-depth coverage of such topics as new theoretical foundations for
cognitive research, phylogenetic prerequisites and ontogenesis of
language, and environmental and cultural forces of development.
Some of the arguments and lines of research are relatively
well-known; others deal with completely new interdisciplinary
approaches. As a result, some of the authors' conclusions are in
part, rather counterintuitive, such as the hypothesis that language
as a system of formal symbolic transformations may be in fact a
very late phenomenon located in the sphere of socio-cultural and
not biological development. While highly debatable, this and other
hypotheses of the book may well define research questions for the
future.

This book reports on theoretical and experimental research
answering key questions in neuroscience, philosophy of mind, and
cognitive research. It gives a special emphasis on findings
achieved within the territory of the former U.S.S.R, which has
remained largely unknown to an international readership. The volume
gathers authoritative studies on cognitive development,
consciousness, attention and perception. It covers research on eye
movements, language, speech and semantics, emotion, as well as
brain functional states, and a variety of decision-making
processes. It also highlights important advances in cognitive
robotics and artificial intelligence, discussing brain-computer
interfaces and other practically-relevant technologies. It includes
studies on human subjects, in both healthy and disease conditions,
and investigations on the molecular mechanisms of cognition in
animal models. Chapters are based on invited lectures and
peer-reviewed contributions to the 9th International Conference on
Cognitive Sciences, Intercognsci-2020, held on October 10-16, 2020,
in Moscow. The conference was organized by the Interregional
Association of Cognitive Studies, with the participation of the
Pavlov Society for Neurophysiology and Higher Nervous Activity, and
supported by the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Russian
Foundation for Basic Research and a number of the north eastern
European research institutions. All in all, this book provides
cognitive scientists around the world with a timely snapshot of
interdisciplinary research and cutting-edge models, and a major
source of inspiration for future collaborations in the areas of
artificial intelligence and cognitive neuroscience.
