From January 13-15, 2009 the Decade of the Mind IV Conference will take place in Santa Ana Pueblo, New Mexico – really the Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa in Albuquerque. Here’s the blurb on the Decade of the Mind Initiative:
Recent advances in brain research, in combination with the scientific consensus that mind emerges as a result of the activities of brains, has led to the notion of a new “Decade” project — one dedicated to understanding the phenomenon of mind within the context of neuroscience. In May 2007 a group of leading scientists met at George Mason University’s Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study to map out what such a national initiative might look like.
The Decade of the Mind initiative is trans-disciplinary and multi-agency in its approach. Success will require research that reaches across many disciplines.
