Public Dialogues

YHouse continues its program of lectures, events, and conversations on exciting and provocative topics at a number of venues around New York City.

Consciousness Club NYC

YHouse invites you to the Consciousness Club, a study group to promote broadly transdisciplinary discussions on the neural and computational bases of consciousness, and how these concepts can be applied to other fields of interest. Our weekly meetings are for you if you are into awareness, science, technology, philosophy, art, and design.

For more information and meeting schedule, check out our Facebook page, or tune in to our Twitter updates.

Although the meetings are open to all, we encourage technical and scientific discussions for this series of meetings.

Cognition Lunch Salon

YHouse continues to organize informal Lunch Salon events hosted by the Program in Interdisciplinary Studies at the Institute for Advanced Study, 1 Einstein Drive, Princeton, N.J., West Building Seminar Room, 2nd floor. The format is an informal chat, followed by longer open-ended discussions among the participants, on the topic of consciousness and cognition. This event is by invitation only. To request an invitation, please email us at info@yhousenyc.org

Join YHouse at Caveat for an evening exploring non-human intelligences.

The human mind, and our consciousness, is one of the greatest mysteries. But what are we missing about the other minds that share Earth with us? Are dolphins good at divination? Do octopuses orate? Perhaps some of the answers we’re looking for about ourselves can come from a better understanding of these alien intelligences. YHouse welcomes two world-renowned experts, Diana Reiss and Frank Grasso, for an evening of ideas and surprises that may, almost literally, blow your mind.
