Present and Future Events



 


  • The Centre is collaborating with the Institute of Philosophy's CenSes: Centre for the Study of the Senses. The Centre runs a series of talks, workshops and conferences covering recent philosophical and neuroscientific research on the nature of our sensory systems, covering aspects such as, but not limited to, multisensory integration and cross-modal influences, our sense of agency and bodily ownership, the objects of perception, sensory deficits, sensory extensions and sensory substitutions, the cognitive penetrability and individuation of the senses.


  • The Centre is one of the partners of the new Network for Research on the Senses, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. The Network is a research partnership between the Departments of Philosophy at Toronto (Principal Investigator: Mohan Matthen), Harvard (Co-Investigator: Susanna Siegel), MIT (Co-Investigator: Alex Byrne), the Centre for the Study of the Senses of the Institute of Philosophy (Co-Investigator: Barry Smith), and the Centre for the Study of Perceptual Experience at the University of Glasgow (Co-Investigator: Fiona Macpherson). Funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and by the partner institutions, this will be a philosophy-led, interdisciplinary, international network of researchers to study how the brain/mind integrates information from the senses.


  • The Centre is one of the collaborators of the EXRE (Experience and Reason) Group, University of Fribourg.
