TICS Talks in Cognitive Science at the University of Massachusetts at Boston

Which subject of scientific investigation could be more fascinating and challenging than the human brain? Researchers of various academic backgrounds have joined the endeavor of cognitive science, working in interdisciplinary teams to gain a better understanding of the functional structures and processes in the brain that make us who we are.

In the TICS colloquium series at UMass Boston, cognitive scientists from the Boston area and beyond present their current research to an interdisciplinary audience and discuss their findings and conclusions. Due to the comprehensible style of TICS presentations, anyone interested in the human brain can benefit from attending a talk, even without specific background knowledge in a particular discipline. Everybody is welcome to come to TICS, listen to a talk, and discuss the findings in a broad context. No registration, no fee.

In the current semester, the TICS meetings take place approximately biweekly (see schedule below) on Thursdays from 4 pm to about 5pm at UMass Boston. Directions to UMass Boston are here, and a campus map can be found here. The duration of presentations is between 45 and 60 minutes, followed by a discussion. Afterwards there is time for informal exchange of ideas while refreshments are served.

Please take a look at the TICS schedule below for information on dates, presenters, and abstracts of talks. If you have any questions or if you would like to present your research at TICS, please contact Marc Pomplun, Erik Blaser.or Zsuzsa Kaldy. See you at the next TICS meeting!
