[SydPhil] Fwd: Save the date - 17-02-2022 - "Free Energy Principle: Science, Tech and Philosophy Conference"

[Inês Hipolito]

Dear community,

It is my great pleasure to announce that a conference dedicated to the Free
Energy Principle will take place on the *17th February 2022, *at the Berlin
School of Mind and Brain, Humboldt Universitat zu Berlin -- although taking
place online -- titled "*The Free Energy Principle: Science, Tech and
Philosophy"*.

An interesting fact is that, although the Free Energy Principle had been
published before, the first time that the Free Energy Principle was
presented to the world was at the Berlin School of Mind and Brain. Years
after this, we want to continue to play our small role. The Berlin School
of Mind and Brain is renowned for its emphasis on an
encouraging interdisciplinarity focusing on the interface between the
humanities and behavioural sciences with the neurosciences. This conference
brings philosophers and scientists to think together and share ideas and
engage in constructive discussion about the free energy principle in this
welcoming, interdisciplinary environment.

The scientific committee is constituted by:

*Prof. Karl Friston (*Welcome Principal Research Fellow and Scientific
Director; Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging; Professor at    the
Institute of Neurology, University College London; Honorary Consultant
at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery)

*Prof. Cathy Price* (Director of the Wellcome Trust Centre for
Neuroimaging, University College London).

*Prof. John Dylan-Haynes* (Director of Berlin Center for Advanced
Neuroimaging; Professor at the Bernstein Center for Computational
Neuroscience, Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin)

*Prof. Petra Ritter* (Director of the Simulation Section, Berlin
School of Mind and Brain, Humboldt Universitat zu Berlin)

*Prof. Michael Pauen* (Institute of Philosophy; PI Berlin School of
Mind and Brain, Humboldt Universitat zu Berlin; PI Cluster of
Excellence Science of Intelligence; Fellow at the Max Planck School of
Cognition; PI and member of the Scientific Board of the Einstein for
Neurosciences)

*Prof. Dr. med. Felix Blankenburg *(Neurocomputation and Neuroimaging
Unit, Freie Universitat Berlin)


Exciting details to follow in the new year. Until then, save the date: *17th
February 2022*.

The organiser,

Inês Hipólito,

(and on the behalf of the scientific committee)
