As a starting point\, we propose a need to reimagine the concepts “human\,” “nature\,” and “environment\,” as wel l as the reciprocal relations that constitute them. To recognize humans as natural organisms\, we must reevaluate the sensuous\, the material\, and the aesthetic and the roles they play in our attempts to construct\, under stand\, and preserve our environment(s).

How does the brain cope with Complexity? How do we make decisions when confronted with practically infinite streams of information?
\nThe conference showca ses cutting edge research on these questions in Neuroscience and Psycholog y (neural mechanisms of cognitive control\, exploration\, decision-making\ , information demand\, memory and creativity)\, Computer Science (artifici al intelligence of curiosity and intrinsic motivation) and Economics (deci sion making and information demand). Alongside formal presentations\, the conference will encourage ample interactions among faculty\, students and postdocs through informal discussions and poster presentations.
\nSu bmissions for poster presentations and travel awards are due February 15\, 2023. Please visit the call fo r submissions for complete requirements.
