Dubrovnik Conference on Cognitive Science. The conference is going to take place on 22-25 May 2025, in the Center for Advanced Studies of Dubrovnik, Croatia, located by the Adriatic sea at the foot of the old city of Dubrovnik (Croatia), a UNESCO world heritage site.<br/><br/>Distinguishing oneself from others is a precursor to the development of many social skills, including coordination and communication. Representing others’ perspectives, while still distinguishing it from our own is an essential part of human interactions, and therefore of our mental lives. This supports our understanding of ourselves and others around us – it helps us make sense of what we are doing, make predictions, and plan our subsequent actions appropriately. How do we learn to distinguish our bodies and minds from those of other people, and what are the mechanisms and relation between understanding ourselves and others? In this conference, we will bring together researchers that have attempted to address this broad question from different angles such as social-, developmental- and comparative cognition and philosophy, to explore the topic of how we understand and distinguish our own and others’ intentions, actions, thoughts, and ultimately, self and other.<br/>‍</p></div></div><div class="fold
