The Center for Possible Minds

at Indiana University, Bloomington

Dedicated to the transdiciplinary study of minds in biological, cultural, and artificial forms

Our Mission

We connect scientists and scholars across a range of disciplines to generate radically new approaches to the study of mind in all possible forms — natural and artificial; individual and collective.

We build these connections through hosting working groups, reading groups, and conferences; supporting the development of collaborative grant proposals; hosting visiting scholars; recruiting extraordinary postdoctoral researchers; curating public-facing events; and convening the annual Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute.

The Center is set to officially launch in academic year 2025/2026. Please reach out if you’d like to be notified of our activities: possible(at)iu.edu

We’re always interested in connecting with partners who share our vision for a new science of the mind. If you are interested in donating to our mission or connecting with us in other ways, please reach out!
