CSLI COGLUNCH

A Seminar Series on Cognitive Science

on Thursdays, 12:15-1:30 p.m.
Cordura Hall, Room 100

The CSLI CogLunch seminar series is an interdisciplinary forum of ideas, exchanges, and debates.

The aim of CogLunch talks is to approach problems of cognitive science 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 12:15 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.
