Center for Neural Mind & Society

Logo for the Center for Neural Mind and Society

The Center has two parts: a core team of experts on the science of the neural mind; and a network of research partners, labs and other centers run by UC Berkeley faculty in the following areas: neuroscience, data science with deep semantics, decision-making, political analysis, human rights, systemic causation in global warming, and new conceptual understandings of quantum mechanics.

Converging research from neuroscience, cognitive linguistics, neural computation, and experimental embodied cognition has revealed that the mind is a “neural mind.” The CNMS MetaNet Project can model ideas computationally using Big Data techniques on huge corpora together with an advanced form of natural language processing (NLP based on Neural Mind research. The Center’s mission is to further extend this research and to bring it into both academic and general public discourse.
