How rational are we?
--------------------
3rd multi-disciplinary symposium organized by the NWO Cognition programme

\"MAN IS A RATIONAL ANIMAL\", according to Aristotle. But, how rational are we? The Dutch national Cognition programme is organizing a symposium around this theme at Friday June 24 in Utrecht, the
Netherlands. Four internationally renowned speakers from very different cognitive backgrounds will address this issue from their respective points of view in a lively and stimulating environment with ample opportunities for formal and informal discussion. Get
ready for a stimulating event about emotional machines, the neuroanatomy of decision-making, whether animals think and why people appear irrational.

Speakers
Clive Wynne (Behavioural Biology, University of Florida)
Lael Schooler (Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Berlin)
Cindy Mason (Computer Science, Stanford University)

And our final speaker:
