26 January 2005, CSCA Lecture, Margaret Boden

Boden is one of the most influential researchers and authors in cognitive science. Within this extensive area she has, as a psychologist and a philosopher, particularly been engaged in intelligence, creativity and development. In her research, natural intelligence or creativity is often compared with computer models of the mind or of intelligence.

Although biological evolution did not bring us computers, Boden will focus on the question if a computer model of the mind can take into consideration evolutionary development of the human mind.
