Sense of Reality: Reality monitoring in perception and cognition

Sense of Reality: Reality monitoring in perception and cognition

26 – 27 September 2024

Institut Jean-Nicod, ENS Paris (and online)

There is more to perception than mere sensory contents: we typically have the feeling that what we perceive is real and not, for example, merely imagined. We have a sense of reality. This sense is often taken for granted, but what makes an experience feel real? How do we distinguish between reality, imagination, and hallucination?

This hybrid workshop aims to bring together early-career and senior researchers from across disciplines whose work contributes in any way to the understanding of the sense of reality in perception, memory, imagination and, more broadly, cognition.

Keynote Speakers:

• Nadine Dijkstra (University College London)
• Denis Perrin (Université Grenoble Alpes)
• Ophelia Deroy (Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich)
• Christoph Hoerl (University of Warwick)
• Jérôme Dokic (Institut Jean-Nicod, EHESS, ENS-PSL)
