As human beings, we have bodies and brains, but another integral part of us is something that seems non-physical, or immaterial to many people, something that we call ‘mind’. Equipped like this, we can experience, remember, forget, and learn, we can make strategic plans, daydream, do research or invent things and nonsense and tell our friends about it or visualize what we come up with to communicate our ideas to others. How is it that we do all this? This lecture series aims to reflect the broad range of perspectives on human and non-human cognition and explore the potential of interdisciplinary dialog.
