Applied Cognitive Science Webinar series
The goal of the on-line talk series is to bring together decision makers and entrepreneurs with top level behavioral scientists working with empirically solid techniques that can be applied to improve real world outcomes. The group is interested in fostering diverse human connections across continents, areas of activity, and areas of expertise that will lead to new research ventures.
The talks are intended to appeal to and be of interest to a wide audience. They focus on three broad themes, each illustrating how a deeper understanding of the human mind can produce societal impact :
- Misinformation, morals and marketing on social media
- Improved decision making and organizational change
- New technologies which augment the cognitive performance of individuals and groups.
Dates and venue : Thursdays at 5pm (Paris time) and on Zoom, following this link
