BCBT Barcelona Cognition, Brain and Technology Summer School From the 8th until the 20th of September we have hosted the Barcelona Cognition, Brain and Technology summer school and it has been a great success. The meeting featured 33 speakers, 45 students and 20 additional participants who have intensely grappled with issues ranging from nano-electrodes and bio-robotics to cognitive architectures and consciousness. In addition, the participating students have developed 6 collaborative projects that were presented at the end of the school. You can find the program and images of the event on the bcbt web site: www.iua.upf.edu/bcbt. We will follow this up with releasing the video record of the presentations. Updated: 06 November 2008
