We are pleased to invite you to the 8th edition of the Cognitive Collisions conference, organized by the students of Cognitive Science at the University of Warsaw. During the two days of the conference, you will have the opportunity to familiarize yourself with research papers on various fields related to cognitive science. These will include presentations on linguistics, artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology, philosophy, neurobiology, and computer science. Additionally, as every year, there will be a chance to listen to our special guests’ talks.
Cognitive Collisions is an open conference!
