This is an exciting research moment because it opens the opportunity for crafting theoretical and practical convergences between major issues that have long bedeviled the Liberal Arts with those arising in the Neurosciences. For example: what does it take to persuade\u2014to move people from one position to another, or to get them to care about an event that never before stirred their interest? The old rhetorical and sociological conundrum of how one spurs a critical mass of people to alter their vision of themselves as individuals is now entangled with neural circuitry, empathetic processing, and legal disputes over conscious actions. Cognition, in short, has been brought into the heart of everyday life. Such new and unusual types of cross-disciplinary engagement offer a bold opportunity to rethink our educational programs and institutions in light of major research initiatives held in common.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo help foster, as well as model, these new kinds of humanities\/neurosciences engagements, we are organizing a two-day conference at the Georgia Institute of Technology [Spring 2012] to explore the current state of neuroscience\/humanities interactions. The purpose of the conference is to highlight the exciting encounters among cognitive science, neuroscience, biological sciences and engineering with the Humanities, Social Sciences, and the Arts at the level of key issues we both share.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETopics include: Self-assembling the Self, Mirroring and Social Cognition, Literature and the New Sciences of Human Nature, Hallucinogenics and the Visionary, Brain Imaging and Non-Discursive Media, The Digital Business of \u0026nbsp;Memory, Attention and Its Disorders, Experience -Driven Media and Devices, Neurophilosopy and the New Spirituality.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA Neuro-Salon, held in conjunction and amplifying the message of the conference by making the conceptual collaborations visible in material objects, is also planned. This second Salon would further the thrust to establish a permanent temporary exhibition space at Georgia Tech that we initiated last year [2010\/11] with the inaugural Salon for Vision. It is hoped these thought-provoking installations will stand at the beginning of a series of interdisciplinary Salons demonstrating the creative and innovative art-science-engineering-technology intersections uniquely possible at Georgia Tech--to broad communities both inside and outside of Georgia Tech.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/gtcoa\/6194494005\/in\/photostream\u0022\u003ESee images from 2011 Salon for Vision: I Imagine, I See, I Make\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch4\u003ENeuro Salon: Consider Attention \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EOpening Night April 11, 2012\u003Cbr \/\u003E7 pm to 9:30 pm\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EStubbins Studio Gallery, Georgia Tech College of Architecture\u003Cbr \/\u003ELight refreshments will be served\u003Cbr \/\u003E245 Fourth St. NW, Atlanta\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003EOpen through April 28, 2012\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E7:00 pm - Music performance by the band Qurious\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E7:30 pm - Reading from the novel, \u003Cem\u003EThe Tantalus Letters, \u003C\/em\u003Eby Laura Otis (Emory University)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E7:45 pm - This Shared Dream: A Reading from a Novel about Neuroplasticity, Memory, and Time, by Kathleen Ann Goonan (writer and Georgia Tech Visiting Professor)\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETour and Q\u0026amp;A with Neuro Salon artists.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EProjects on Display at the Neuro-Salon:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cem\u003EAnimapping\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;by Ali Mazalek, Claudia Rebola, Paul Clifton, Scott Hoag, Andy Wu, Jason Clark, Chelsea McClinton, Sarah Nelson, Vivek Sangubhotla (Georgia Tech)\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EHippocampal Memory\u0026nbsp;by\u0026nbsp;Audrius Plioplys\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cem\u003ECrystal Palace - Emergent Formations\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;by Daniel Baerlecken, Gernot Riether, Aaron Coffman, Almir Divanovic, Daniel Dixon, Emilio Hernandez, Azzam Issa, Cole Loomis\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cem\u003EJulie\u003C\/em\u003E by\u0026nbsp;David Bashwiner\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cem\u003EIncline\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;by Frederick Pearsall and Matthew Swarts\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cem\u003EA Fraction Away from Understanding - Aude Sapere\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/em\u003E\u003Cem\u003Eby Harris Dimitropoulis\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cem\u003EVibrating Glove\u003C\/em\u003E\u003Cem\u003E by Jun Ueda\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cem\u003EA Camera Obscura Installation \u003C\/em\u003E\u003Cem\u003Eby James Murray, Patrick Di Rito, and Shota Vashakmadze\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cem\u003EConsider Attention\u003C\/em\u003E\u003Cem\u003E,\u003C\/em\u003E\u003Cem\u003E salon brochure by Sonit Bafna\u003C\/em\u003E\u003Cem\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Ch4\u003ENeuro-Humanities Conference\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThursday April 12, 2012\u003Cbr \/\u003ETSRB auditorium 125 (Tech Square)\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E9:00 am\u003C\/strong\u003E - Opening Remarks:\u0026nbsp;Jacqueline J.
