Consciousness & Reality Colloquia
Caltech, Stanford, MIT and IMICS are currently participating in the Consciousness & Reality (C&R) colloquium series. C&R is motivated by the following goals:
a) to have eminent speakers present an overview of and exciting developments in their field,
b) bring together all academics interested in these topics, and
c) to inspire interdisciplinary research (science and philosophy-based) on topics such as consciousness, mind, intelligence, cognition, and the nature of reality.
These colloquia are accessible to an interdisciplinary audience.
