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

With Piet Hut (IAS, Princeton) and Yuko Ishihara (Center for Subjectivity Research, Copenhagen)

We are all grounded somewhere: in our homes, communities, language, culture, etc. A scientist sees the world differently from an artist because the scientist is grounded in specific meaningful contexts that are rather different from that of the artist. Each of us has multiple ways in which we take a stand, grounding ourselves within various frameworks—which in turn define who we are: how others see us, and how we see ourselves. Astrophysicist Piet Hut (IAS, Princeton) and philosopher Yuko Ishihara (Center for Subjectivity Research, Copenhagen) led an open-ended discussion about us & our grounds.
