Mind/Brain Lecture Series
Supported by The Swartz Foundation, The Department of Neurobiology & Behavior annually hosts the Mind/Brain Lecture
Series to spotlight advances in brain research. The mind has long been conceptualized as the internal space of thoughts, perceptions, and
memories. These phenomena are the brain in action. The Mind/Brain Lecture Series
is open to the Stony Brook University Community and general public and each year highlights
a topic at the intersection of neuroscience and neural computation.
Videos below are full-length recordings of past Mind/Brain Lectures.
