welcome
We are pleased to announce a monthly workshop of scientists and philosophers held at Boston University. Our meetings are intended to provide an interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of the conceptual presuppositions, frameworks, and implications of recent work in the cognitive sciences.
news
The 2010-2011 schedule will be announced in late August. To be updated with times, locations, and readings, please subscribe to our emails by contacting organizers@neuphi.com.
mission
We seek a common integrative framework for the study of the mind. Our meetings are meant to enrich the interplay between empirical and conceptual investigations through a critical examination of the explanatory strategies, major models, and logic employed in neuroscience. To this end, we invite leaders in philosophy and science to present their work in an interdisciplinary setting.
activities
Once a month, an informal presentation by a leading scientist or philosopher will be followed by a discussion. An ideal discussion will lead us to contextualize and clarify problems in the area of attention, perception, language, memory and plasticity.
about us
Emi Iwatani and Carolyn Suchy-Dicey founded Neuphi in Spring 2007 in the image of an earlier philosophy of neuroscience group at Boston University run by John Symons (now at the University of Texas El Paso). Emi and Carolyn organized Neuphi events from 2007-2008, after which Emi moved to Pittsburgh University. Sean Lorenz (of Cognitive and Neural Systems at Boston University) helped to organize Neuphi events from 2008-2010.
