NYUConcats
NYUConcats is one of the longest running scientific discussion groups in the Psychology
Department at NYU. Founded in Fall 2008 it originally focused on the topic of concepts and categorization.
However, it has over time expanded into one of the key forums for discussions at the core of cognitive science
at NYU. Speakers are drawn from many intellectual backgrounds including developmental psychology, computer
science, artificial intelligence, marketing, cognitive psychology, perception science, judgment and decision
sciences, cognitive neuroscience, philosophy, linguistics, and anthropology. Maybe today the right meaning of
concats is no longer "concepts and categories" and is instead to "concatenate" cognitive science discplines.
Anyone who is interested is welcome to attend. From time to time we have outside speakers as well as
work-in-progress presentations by students and faculty. Currently, we meet on Fridays at 3:30-5pm over in
Meyer 575 w/ remote option. Individuals interested in presenting (or attending) should email Jonathan Nicholas
(jonathan.nicholas@nyu.edu). Also, email Jonathan for more information on how to join our automated email
announcement list.
