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 851 w/ remote option. Individuals interested in presenting (or
attending)
should email Emily Liquin
(emily.liquin@nyu.edu). Also, email Emily for more information on how to join our automated
email announcement list.
