What we’re about
This is a group for anyone in the Bay Area who’s interested in cognitive science.
Our plan is devilishly simple:
- Pick a book or paper related to the field
- Read it
- Meet to discuss it - hopefully in real life, somewhere central San Francisco.
All are welcome, and in order to keep it this way we will probably steer away from expert academic literature and be pitched a little more towards enthusiastic amateurs. But let’s see how it goes.
If you'd like to propose something to read, please add it (and/or upvote existing suggestions) to this sheet.
We're going to try something different this time. Rather than a book, we will watch and discuss a lecture from Michael Levin, a professor at Tufts University working at "the intersection of developmental biology, artificial life, bioengineering, synthetic morphology, and cognitive science"
UPDATE: we will watch and discuss Where Minds Come From: the scaling of collective intelligence, and what it means for AI and you.
I expect we shall be at the usual venue, Hotel Emblem
