H. Colloquia Series and Course on Basic Neuro and
Cognitive Sciences
A colloquia
series was started at the Centre for Consciousness Studies from October 31,
2011. All Departments of the University have been classified into 2 groups –
Group A with 14 departments (Faculty of Arts, Commerce, Education and Social
Sciences) and Group B with 7 departments (Faculty of Science, Engineering). On
one turn, there are 3 presentations of 30 minutes each – 2 from Group A
Departments and 1 from Group B Departments, selecting in alphabetical order
from each group, so that there is sufficient intermingling of faculty members
from diverse disciplines. On days, when an eminent speaker can be arranged,
there will be an invited talk also. In the first cycle, departments were
requested to present how they can contribute to the Centre for Consciousness
Studies and their existing work in the field. The second cycle is now in
progress. All interested faculty members / research scholars of DEI are welcome
to attend the colloquia. A course on Basic Neuro and Cognitive Sciences has
also been started in July 2012. A capsule of this course will also be offered
as a Workshop in the TSC 2013 conference. A team from DEI Centre for
Consciousness Studies also visited Centre for Behavioural and Cognitive
Sciences, University of Allahabad and a Round-Table Discussion was
subsequently held at DEI also with delegates from CBCS, Allahabad.
