BIOLOGICAL AND ARTIFICIAL MINDS
\nIn his Essay titled "The New Science of Mind. A Forecast of the major problems
\nscientists need to Solve\," the Nobel Laureate Eric Kandel wrote in 2006\,
\n&rdquo\;Understanding the human mind in biological terms has emerged as the central
\nchallenge for science in the 21st century. We want to understand the biological
\nnature of perception\, learning\, memory\, thought\, consciousness and the limits of
\nfree will.&rdquo\;
\n"Biology of Mind" continues to prove itself as an ever-expanding network of
\ntraditional and emergent disciplines\, researching collaboratively to synthesize a
\nholistic model of the human mind and its relationship to the brain. Deeply rooted
\nin cognitive science\, it is at the intersection of the philosophy of the mind\,
\nneuroscience\, psychology\, linguistics\, and computer science.
\nThe session's goal is to synchronize this tradition's findings with current
\ndevelopments in technologies of intelligent systems. New theories of mind and
\nconsciousness focusing on brain technologies have gradually shifted research from
\nbiological to a more technological approach to the brain &\; mind interaction.
\nWe invite contributions from philosophy\, psychology\, biology\, neuroscience\, and
\nother relevant disciplines to present ongoing research in biology and technologies of
\nmind. Topics can be from but not restricted to the following areas:
\n- Mental representation
\n- Artificial and neural computation
\n- Brain-computer interfaces
\n- Conscious agents
\n- Language and meaning
\n- Cultural neuroscience
\n- Emotional response
\n- Ethics and moral cognition
