Themes / topics arising
Six themes were determined and will be explored further.
Summary documents on these themes, considering major developments in the field, promising areas for development, and key drivers, are being produced by six 'editors' with a view to discussing them at an interactive conference with the project's physical sciences group.
- learning & Memory
Prof Richard Morris and Prof Graham Hitch
- language & Speech
Dr William Marslen-Wilson
- social Cognition
Prof Uta Frith
- self-organising Systems
Prof David Willshaw
- actions / Habits
Prof Peter Dayan
- representation
Dr Vincent Walsh
Summary documents on these themes, considering major developments in the field, promising areas for development, and key drivers, are being produced by six groups of life scientists with a view to discussing them at an interactive conference with the project's computer science group.
