The CSLI CogLunch seminar series is an interdisciplinary forum of ideas, exchanges, and debates.
In Fall 1996-97, the CogLunch series will continue with the same theme we had last year: consciousness.
The aim of CogLunch talks is 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. CogLunch is thus intended, as a multidisciplinary forum of ideas, exchanges, and debates.
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. CogLunch will take place at Cordura Hall 100 (intersection of Campus Drive West and Panama Drive at the Stanford University campus). Sandwiches will be available for a nominal fee at the door for the audience; please feel free to bring your own lunch if you prefer.
The first talk, titled "Seeing motion: From neural circuits to perceptual decisions" was given by Bill Newsome, professor of neurobiology at Stanford University, on October 17, 1996. Please keep an eye on the CSLI calendar for upcoming CogLunch talks. We will try to provide titles and abstracts, as well as information about the speakers at least one week ahead of time.
