How can the firing of neurones help us keep track of the world? Are brains like computers, or is some other metaphor more appropriate? How do neural representations end up “about” something in the world? This two-day workshop, coinciding with Visiting Fellow Nicholas Shea’s residency in the School of Philosophy, will explore these questions from both philosophical and empirical points of view.
All are welcome (up to room capacity) but please RSVP to colin.klein@anu.edu.au
