Los Angeles' Largest Cognitive Science Meetup Group!
Our members include scientists, students of science, doctors, a great variety of therapists, people interested in information that can lead to answers or therapies for cognitive disorders, and folks that are just plain interested in the fascinating worlds of cognitive science and consciousness.
Our mission is to offer the community the means for self-education through learning the latest scientific discoveries and ideas on brain health, the mind, and it's relation to our physiology and consciousness. We believe that education is a win even if you are the one teaching, as true education raises awareness in society and is good for the collective as well as the mission of the educator. Our in-house speakers include scientists, doctors, authors, facilitators and therapists who generously and willingly share their work and valuable information with us. Most, if not all of our in-house presentations are offered at no charge. We also post events organized by other venues related to our topics. Outside lecture series sponsored by other groups will often feature a specific theme per season, so stay tuned for your particular interest. We post events as they arise in the community, and offer a wide variety of meetups within our subtopics.
Our focal interests lie in anything science-based centering on the brain from neuroscience, biochemistry and biology, physiology, evolution, and psychology to notions around consciousness involving physics and metaphysics. Since all these subtopics may one day be scientifically interconnected, we hold meetups for them although they may not be directly brain related at this time, and hope your find them edifying or educational.
Our inquiries into brain health and the mind naturally give cause to ponder the notions of consciousness and its relation to our well being as individuals and as a society. We join the centuries old debate on the various theories, ideas and notions around consciousness which has proven that there are many, or perhaps more accurately, no clear definition of it. As we delve into the countless avenues on this subject, we enter into the worlds of physics, quantum physics and metaphysics, compelled to consider the expression of expansion beyond human survival and instinctive needs and reactions.
There are many topics to explore, so come join us on this fascinating journey
through the Brain and Consciousness.
