The scientific study of thinking requires expertise from a wide range of scientific fields including evolutionary biology and anthropology, neurosciences, developmental and experimental psychology, neuroinformatics, cognitive linguistics, and philosophy. The Parmenides faculty is assembled with the objective to have all of the pertinent disciplines represented by leading scientists in the field.
