The Human Mind Conference is an international, interdisciplinary event bringing together a wide range of experts from across the humanities and cognitive sciences to discuss key aspects of mental life and experience. The Human Mind Conference will provide a major statement on the current state of knowledge in the study of the mind, and it will identify future directions of research for the years to come.

The conference will feature four sessions, each on a live topic in the study of the human mind:

    • Brain & World: Perception & Consciousness
    • The Human Agent: Intention & Action
    • Self & Other: Social Cognition & Communication
    • The Subject’s Point of View: Intentionality & Emotion
