Excited to be front and center for the #CogSci2026 Opening Session!
Charles Kemp stands at a clear lectern, smiling as he addresses the audience during the CogSci 2026 conference in Rio de Janeiro. Behind him, a large blue screen displays a panoramic view of Rio’s coastline with the text “Welcome to Rio de Janeiro” and the conference branding, including “CogSci2026 Cognitive Inefficiency, July 22–25, Rio de Janeiro.” A microphone extends toward the podium, and the stage lighting casts a blue glow across the scene.

Delighted to host @alefreedot Alessandra Sciutti at Tamagawa University's Brain Science Institute for her talk "Cognitive Resonance: the next challenge for cognitive robotics." Approaching social HRI through cognitive science and neuroscience. It truly resonated with us! Thanks!

Why organisms are more than machines

Why organisms are more than machines

Sixty years ago, a little-known philosopher challenged how science understands life. His perspective is finding new relevance in the age of AI.
