Below are links to some examples of talks that fall well within the cognitive science arena. I’ve found, however, that many of the non-cogsci talks are more interesting, because they introduce one, often in a vivid way, to a subject matter that is less familiar. (For instance, Wade Davis’s talk on anthropological fieldwork was, for me, genuinely exciting.)
- V. S. Ramachandran on Caprgas Delusion and Phantom Limbs
- Steven Pinker on Language and Thought
- Susan Savage-Rumbaugh on Apes and Language
- Dan Dennett on Consciousness
You can browse the talks by clicking on the topic links at the bottom right of each video’s page. Or just start here
Enjoy.
