Showing results for "The Cognitive Science of Science" in 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

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....

Two dudes talking about every cognitive bias, one half hour at a time. Come make "good enough" decisions with us.

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/
