The IPMC (Institute of Philosophy of Mind and Cognition) is dedicated to studying cognition, whether in humans, other animals, or computers. Studying cognition requires different disciplinary perspectives, so researchers at the IPMC draw on philosophy, neuroscience, psychology, neurolinguistics, and cognitive science. The main focus of the IPMC was traditionally consciousness and the philosophy of cognitive science, but has since branched out to include research foci on neuroscience, clinical medicine, imagination, memory, neuroethics, religion, and AI. All these topics revolve around core philosophical problems about the nature of mind and cognition, including what cognition is, how we can know about it, what affects it, its social and biological bases, and the ethics of classifying and altering minds. The mission of the IPMC is more than merely addressing traditional philosophical questions, but doing so in a way that contributes to tackling significant social, scientific, political and ethical issues by bridging academia, science and society.
