Showing results for "The Cognitive Science of Science" in Politics & Social Sciences

For millennia, philosophers and scientists have been trying to unlock the secrets of the mind with only limited success—until now. Today, with modern technologies including the best in neuroscience, medical imaging, and recent advances in artificial intelligence, we are making more progress than ever before. In Introduction to Cognitive Science, Professor Thad A. Polk takes you on a fascinating tour of the latest discoveries in the relatively new field of cognitive science. In 24 exciting lectures, Professor Polk shares dozens of the most challenging questions in cognitive science today.

Human beings are primates, and primates are political animals. Our brains, therefore, are designed not just to hunt and gather but also to help us get ahead socially, often via deception and self-deception. But while we may be self-interested schemers, we benefit by pretending otherwise. The less we know about our own ugly motives, the better - and thus, we don't like to talk, or even think, about the extent of our selfishness. This is "the elephant in the brain".

In this podcast we consider the humanity of AI and what AI might tell us about the human mind

A neuroscientist and surgeon makes an argument for the existence of a spiritual human soul in this eye-opening book. Many scientists and doctors believe that there is no such thing as the soul. That there is no part of us that persists beyond death. We are not spiritual in any respect. We are...

How does the brain work? How different is a human brain from other creatures' brains? Is the human brain still evolving? In this fascinating book, Michael O'Shea provides a non-technical introduction to the main issues and findings in current brain research, and gives a sense of how neuroscience addresses questions about the relationship between the brain and the mind.

Just over 125,000 years ago, humanity was going extinct until a dramatic shift occurred—Homo sapiens started tracking the tides in order to eat the nearby oysters. Before long, they’d pulled themselves back from the brink of extinction. What saved us during that period of endangerment? The...

La situation est inédite. Jamais, dans l'histoire de l'humanité, nous n'avons disposé d'autant d'informations et jamais nous n'avons eu autant de temps libre pour y puiser loisir et connaissance du monde. Nos prédécesseurs en avaient rêvé : la science et la technologie libéreraient l'humanité. Mais ce rêve risque désormais de tourner au cauchemar.

Perspectives about AI by Dr. Jiajie Zhang, Dean and Professor at the McWilliams School of Biomedical Informatics at UTHealth Houston

A new field of collective intelligence has emerged in the last few years, prompted by a wave of digital technologies that make it possible for organizations and societies to think at large scale. This "bigger mind" - human and machine capabilities working together - has the potential to solve the great challenges of our time. So why do smart technologies not automatically lead to smart results?

A full-scale investigation of the controversial and often misunderstood science of attachment theory, inspired by the author’s own experience as a parent and daughter. “A profound and beautiful work . . . searingly honest, brazenly fresh, and startlingly rich.”—Andrew Solomon, author of...

The Cognitive Performer focuses on the mental aspects of performance and how it applies to professionals in various fields seeking a mental performance edge. I will explore how to build mental strength based on neuroscience. Highlighting how we can train our brains to overcome challenges, directly connecting the science with the art. Take this journey of exploration with me.

Attempting to fill the gap between entertainment and academic interests, The Cognitive Dissonance Podcast hopes to present deeper explorations of the human experience.

A conversation with the cognitive science department at UC San Diego.

Hi there, My name is Cody Kommers. I produced this podcast in graduate school, while doing my PhD in experimental psychology at Oxford. In it, I interviewed over 90+ scientists, authors, and academics about the personal side of their intellectual journey. I wanted to know about the decisions they made when they were in my shoes—just starting their careers—and how those choices impacted the trajectory of their career. I am very thankful to everyone who took the time to share their stories. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to talk to many of the researchers and writers I admire most....

Décrypter avec les Sciences cognitives comment notre cerveau peut être responsable de l’inaction et de l’appréhension du changement global. Dans cette série de chroniques, nous explorons avec les Sciences cognitives comment nos biais cognitifs influencent nos comportements et freinent nos actions face aux défis du changement global. Chaque épisode décrypte un biais cognitif spécifique pour mieux comprendre nos résistances et ouvrir des pistes de solutions. https://www.linkedin.com/in/perezsarahpro/
