CSLI CogLunch
A Seminar Series on Cognitive Science
Thursdays, 12:15-1:30 p.m.
Cordura Hall, Room 100
The CSLI CogLunch seminar series is a multidisciplinary forum of ideas,
exchanges, and debates. CogLunch speakers address problems of cognitive
science from variety of perspectives, e.g. artificial intelligence, biology,
linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy, and psychology.
As usual, we will offer informal but rigorous talks and lively discussions,
starting at 12:15 and going until approximately 1:30 on Thursdays. CogLunch
takes place at Cordura Hall 100 (intersection of Campus Drive West and
Panama Drive at the Stanford University campus; see
map).
Sandwiches are available for a nominal fee at the door for the audience;
please feel free to bring your own lunch if you prefer.
