Minecraft with Pointing

Some in-progress work I’m doing with Sean Roberts (MPI, Nijmegen) on language origins and pointing, experiment carried out during a visit to ANU:

Online goings-on

Two online symposia I’ve been part of in the last week or so:

A really great book club on Thom Scott-Phillips’ ‘Speaking Our Minds’, about the evolution of language, with a lot of great commentators and discussion, on the Cognition and Culture blog.

And a symposium on Bernard Molyneux’ ‘The Logic of Mind-Body Identification’ over on the Philosophy of Brains blog.

My new website!
