THEMES: Since the Society for Philosophy and Neuroscience (SPAN) now provides an annual philosophy of/and neuroscience conference, we now seek to turn our annual Philosophy & Neuroscience @The Gulf meeting into a workshop where every participant tries out his/her newest, latest ideas related to neuroscience and/or philosophy of neuroscience—broadly construed.
This workshop is open to historians, philosophers, and scientists working at all levels of investigation. We will continue our tradition of bringing junior and senior scholars together in conversation.
We will feature our usual events, including invited philosopher and neuroscientist keynote lectures, submitted talks, symposia, and panel discussions!
