For the scientifically minded

From AlphsPsy :
"Interdisciplines.org launched tuesday an on-line colloquium about “Representation and Adaptation”. The interdisciplines conferences are among the most exciting intellectual events on the Internet; this one features, among others, Daniel Dennett and Peter Godfrey-Smith, along with scholars from philosophy, AI, and theoretical biology. It tackles the difficult question of how natural selection could give birth to entities as refined as mental representations, while it kept remaining its usual stupid self (full disclosure: Hugo and I are among the discussants, so don't take our word for it, go see the site)."
The discussion here . I am not following the discussion; at the moment it seems to be 'fog upon fog'. There is an an earlier online seminar on mirror neurons at the same site which I found more interesting. But Chris of Mixing Memory is not so enthusiastic about mirror neurons.
