PHILOSOPHY COLLOQUIUM ON MEMORY

Meanwhile on Thursday March 12th, the Philosophy Department will host a talk by Felipe de Brigard of the Imagination and Modal Cognition Lab and the Institute for Brain Sciences at Duke University. De Brigard works both in philosophy and in neuroscience and his research focuses on how memory and imagination interact, especially in the domain of counterfactual thinking. His title for the Thursday talk is The Explanatory Indispensabilty of Memory Traces and it aims to show that there is a wide range of memory phenomena for which explanations in terms of memory traces are crucial. The talk will begin at 4:15pm on Thursday (March 12th) and it will take place in Humanities Two, Room 259. The abstract and other details are here.
