Last week I had Dr. Michael Arbib on the Brain Science Podcast.  While our discussion focused on his work related to mirror neurons, we also talked a little about his general area of expertise, which is cognitive neuroscience.  Most of us don't have a real feel for what this field involves, but those of you who are interested in learning more might want to check out  the archive of videos from Cognitive Computing 2007, which was held at UC-Berekeley on May 2 and 3 last year.  The site includes Dr. Arbib's presentation "From Cognitive Neuroscience to Computer Architectures."
