The Cognition Project

Tom Griffiths

Booking Overview

An oral-history interview show focused on the development of cognitive science, featuring recorded conversations with foundational psychologists, neuroscientists, computer scientists, linguists, and philosophers. Credible pitches would be eminent cognitive-science researchers, interdisciplinary scholars, and authors with field-shaping contributions or books; booking is very difficult because the show’s guest pattern centers on highly prominent intellectuals and pioneers.
