		  A Seminar Series on Consciousness

In 1995-96, the traditional TINLunch (Topics in Natural Language Lunch)
series at CSLI will be expanded into a new noontime Cognitive Science
series -- "CogLunch".  We hope to cover a variety of topics that fall
under the umbrella term "cognitive science", a subset of which will be the
traditional themes pursued in the TINLunch series over the years.

We will try to run CogLunch talks on a specific theme per quarter, or even per
year (though we intend to be flexible about that).  This year's designated
theme is *consciousness*.  Throughout the year, we hope to approach problems
of consciousness from various perspectives, e.g., those of philosophy,
psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience, biology, cognitive science, artificial
intelligence, and quantum mechanics, as well as the humanities.  As a true
successor of TINLunch, CogLunch is thus intended to be an interdisciplinary
forum of ideas, exchanges, and debates.  The schedule for the Fall Quarter
includes the following speakers:

    10/12: Owen Flanagan (Philosophy, Duke U.)
    10/19: Ernest Hilgard (Psychology, Stanford U.)
    10/26: John McCarthy (Computer Science, Stanford U.)
    11/02: Fred Dretske (Philosophy, Stanford U.)
    11/09: IAP EVENTS (No CogLunch)
    11/16: Bruce Mangan (Cognitive Science, UC Berkeley)
    11/23: THANKSGIVING (No CogLunch)
    11/30: Henry Stapp (Physics, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory)

As usual, we hope to have informal but rigorous talks and lively
discussions, starting at 12:00 noon and going approximately until 1:30 on
Thursdays.  Sandwiches and drinks will be available for a nominal fee at
the door.  Please feel free to bring your own lunch if you prefer.

I would also like to take this opportunity to ask everyone to send
suggestions (e-mail to guven@csli.stanford.edu) for speakers on
consciousness.  We have been recruiting speakers from the larger Bay
Area, but we will be happy to accomodate visitors who happen to be in the
area on a Thursday as well.

Please keep an eye on the CSLI calendar for CogLunch announcements.  We
will try to provide titles and abstracts, as well as information about the
speakers, two weeks ahead of time. If you want to get on the mailing list
for CSLI events, please send e-mail to [incalendar@csli.stanford.edu].
