Term has now finished, but our virtual events will continue!

This week we have a fascinating talk about how computers compare to minds, and Virtual Games & Cake.

Talk - "How alike are Computers and Minds?" by Rach Arnold - 19:00, Thu 25/06

We'll post a YouTube Premiere link in Slack (and on our calendar) shortly before the talk is scheduled to begin. Once the talk livestream has finished, join us in Discord for questions with the speaker!

The purpose of this talk is to explore the notion that a mind is like a computer from both a scientist and a philosophical perceptive. I will focus on a number of comparisons between both how the mind and a computer works; however, I ultimately conclude that the mind is more complicated than we give it credit for. Despite the increase in technology and the wondrous development of the computing world, computers will never compare to the splendor that is the human mind.
