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.
