Body Schema, Theory of Mind - Philosophy Meetup 2020: Does Your Brain Need You?

We will be talking about how the brain processes information. By understanding how the brain builds intuitive models of the body and of other people's minds.

Also, I will briefly summarize the results of the last three meetups (Evolution of Attention, Rise of the Primates, Glimpse into the brain (optical illusions) ) :)

Some major changes to the format:

• Online via Zoom. Given the current crisis and contact limitations, the meetup will be held online. This also offers the opportunity to present the ideas for a wider audience and for people currently not in Düsseldorf.

• Public. The presentation and discussion will be recorded and put online. There will be private breakout rooms during and after the meetup, and onboarding and offboarding will not be part of the recording. Also, you can partake via chat messages or watch the recording after the meeting.

What remains the same:

• Exciting topics of science and philosophy.
• Presentation/script will available before each meetup.
• Available in book format.
• Lots of room for QA: we’ll progress at your speed.
• Coffee Breaks.
• Connecting with like-minded people.
• Present your own topic.
• Meetup every other week.
