Dear all,
we invite you to participate in a *one-day online-only symposium* on *21st
October 2022 *- free of charge and open to all:

Rethinking Computational Approaches to the Mind
- Fundamental Challenges and Future Perspectives -

This event will bring together researchers with expertise in various areas
such as complexity science, machine learning & artificial intelligence,
information theory & data science, as well as computational/theoretical
neuroscience & philosophy to explore different computational approaches in
the study of the “mind” (in brains and/or machines):

   1.

   What are those approaches essentially about?
   2.

   What are major benefits & caveats?
   3.

   Do different approaches speak to, complement, or contradict each other?
   4.

   What are the *current challenges* in computational approaches to
   understand the mind, and what could bring progress?

The event is organized within the “Sensation and Perception to Awareness:
Leverhulme Doctoral Scholarship Programme
<https://www.sussex.ac.uk/sensation/>” at the University of Sussex, and
will comprise a set of talks followed by a panel discussion.

Find more info - including how to register - on our event website
<https://computationalmind.github.io/>. Feel free to spread widely in your
networks.

We look forward to a day of exciting talks and discussions!

Nadine Spychala, Tomasz Korbak, & Federico Micheli (event organizers)
