How does the brain cope with Complexity? How do we make deci sions when confronted with practically infinite streams of information?
\nThe conference showcases cutting edge research on these questions in Neuroscience and Psychology (neural mechanisms of cognitive control\, exp loration\, decision-making\, information demand\, memory and creativity)\, Computer Science (artificial intelligence of curiosity and intrinsic moti vation) and Economics (decision making and information demand). Alongside formal presentations\, the conference will encourage ample interactions am ong faculty\, students and postdocs through informal discussions and poste r presentations.
\nSubmissions for poster presentations and travel a wards are due February 15\, 2023. Please visit the call for submissions for complete requirements.
\nFree and open to the public. Registratio n is required and will open shortly. All in-person attendees must follow C olumbia’s COVID-19 policies. Visitors will be asked to p rovide proof of COVID-19 vaccination. Online attendees will receive a Zoom link. Please email events@zi.colu mbia.edu with any questions.

Others have argued in response that the only reason for two s tates to require different conceptual capacities of the subject is precise ly because they have different sorts of contents\, and so there is no subs tantive difference between a ‘content’ view and a ‘state’ view. Here\, I p resent evidence for states that do\, in fact\, share the same content but differ in the required conceptual capacities: exogenous perceptual states\ , and endogenous\, voluntarily produced perceptual states. I argue that th is functional difference—voluntary versus involuntary production—constitut es the difference in concept-dependence. I then look to three possibilitie s for how this claim could affect our understanding of the relationship be tween cognition and perception.

Its goal is to raise awareness of t he best work on philosophical questions of interest to Brooklynites\, and to provide a civil space where Brooklynites can reason together about the philosophical questions that matter to them.
