Braaaaains! a sprout spaghetti dinner on may 18
Hey everyone!
I'm hosting another spaghetti dinner and performance event over at sprout (339R Summer St) on May 18. We'll have spaghetti and drinks starting at 730PM with presentations and performances around 8PM. The theme this month is brains, with performances including a puppet show called Baby Zombie, EEG displays, turing machines, and more!
You can check out the Read More for more details about the theme, performers, etc...
Hope to see you there!

The Brain. The mind. The self. The cognitive architecture. The metaphor. Consciousness. The food of zombies. The grey matter. The living computer.
This month’s sprout spaghetti dinner is going to look at the brain from many perspectives, asking what it is, what it does, and who we are because of it or in spite of it. We will be thinking about the popular zombie myth, the history of psychology, mental disorders, the physical architecture of our head quarters, and what makes us human.
This month’s performers will include ::
+ Elephant Tango performing their new puppet show, Baby Zombie
+ Shauna Gordon-McKeon & co. on the history of psychology
+ James Croft, a graduate student from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, on the dubious nature of neuroscience
+ Mike MacHenry on Alan Turing's question: can machines feel?
+ Catherine McMahon and John Bell perform dialogues from Turing Tests
