2007 Discovery Lecture: Can Animals Think?

If you had to sum up the last thirty years of research into animal intelligence, you would have to say "they are smarter than we thought." But how smart is that? Are other animals self-aware, as we are? Can we draw a line between intelligent thinking behaviour and automatism, and if so, where? Remember no one knows how many neurons are needed for consciousness. This Lecture will explore these questions and their implications Speaker Jay Ingram Host, Discovery Channel's Daily Planet Wednesday, March 7, 2007 7:30pm 102 Azrieli Theatre, Carleton University Admission is Free.
