Selma Coecke
Causal Cognition in Humans and Machines
Oxford, 3-4 May 2019
Call for Presenters and Registration
Causal Cognition in Humans and Machines is a two-day interdisciplinary workshop that will bring together academic researchers from the fields of psychology, physics, neuroscience, cognitive science, linguistics, education, computer science, and philosophy.
Work on causal cognition in humans focuses on mapping and understanding the development of cognitive processes that are involved in reasoning about cause-effect relations in both everyday life and in more formal contexts such as science. Research in computer science and AI has moved closer to modelling human cognition, aiming to capture a variety of cognitive modes by taking inspiration from leading psychologists. This is therefore a particularly good moment for researchers from these different backgrounds to share different theoretical frameworks and methodologies.
