Welcome:
We are pleased to announce a monthly workshop of scientists and philosophers. 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:
We are in the planning stages for Fall and Spring of 2008-2009. If you have any speakers you would like to suggest, please email organizers@neuphi.comTo 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.
