Conference Presentations on the Relationship between Neuroscience, EvPsych, and Fiction Writing

These are several of the presentations I've given in the past couple of years. The commentary is in the notes, visible if you download or simply open and use Powerpoint's edit feature.


Dreams and Fiction-writing

     This is part one of a combination of two presentations in PowerPoint on the relationship between dreams, neuroscience, and literature. Both talks were collaborations with Jason Ronstadt, another fiction writer. The first talk was given at the Dactyl Poetics-CogSci Colloquy in Soho, NY in September of '05. The second talk was given in April at the first conference in Literature and Cognitive Science, hosted by UConn in Storrs, CT Download Combination_Part_One.ppt

QWERTYUIOP and EP: Implications of EP for the Working Fiction Writer

     This was a conference talk delivered at HBES 2005 in Austin, TX. I slipped in to the session late and (inadvertently) almost sat on Steven Pinker, but it all worked out in the end. Download Qwertyuiop_and_EP5.ppt

The Glint off the Lion's Molars: Narrative and Experience from an Evolutionary Standpoint

     This is, broken into two parts, a presentation given at the 2006 HBES Conference in Philadelphia.
