This symposium is inspired by the old dream of understanding the mind and the brain, which was at the core of several new fields created at MIT during the ’50s and ’60s. The same dream is now the main motivation for a new Intelligence Initiative (I^2), which will bridge faculty across all the Schools of the Institute. The Brains, Minds and Machines events will run over three days, with panel talks involving several Nobel laureates and personalities from academia and industry.
