Cognitive Sciences Brown Bags
The Cognitive Sciences Brown Bags are a colloquium series that
deal with aspects of cognitive sciences and
artificial intelligence. They are organized by the Artificial
Intelligence Laboratory at the University of Zurich. The
atmosphere is meant to be informal to stimulate discussion
and we often serve food and drinks after the talks.
