<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 3pt;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US" style=""><font face="arial, sans-serif">The
human mind dedicates significant resources to generating and evaluating
explanations for a vast array of phenomena, concepts and entities — including
the mind itself. The study of explanations is an interdisciplinary enterprise
that brings together research from a broad range of disciplines and has
profound implications for virtually all areas of human knowledge. Part of this
work consists of identifying the methods and approaches best suited to defining
what makes an explanation meaningful, as well as how natural and artificial
systems carry out explanatory tasks. To properly address such questions, a
variety of viewpoints are needed. In this sense, cognitive science,
interdisciplinary by nature, is uniquely equipped to advance our understanding
of the topic.</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt"><span lang="EN-US" style=""><font face="arial, sans-serif">The 18th
AISC Conference will focus on the theme of the explaining mind, by considering
a spectrum of issues. We welcome presentations on the state of the art and on
ongoing research, as well as presentations on perspectives that encourage
dialogue among the various subdisciplines of cognitive science.</font></span></p>
