Online videos of the 2007 CEU summer school on culture and cognition

In July 2007, we had a great summer schoool on culture and cognition at the Central European University in Budapest organised by György Gergely and Dan Sperber. The proceeding were video-recorded and many of the lectures (by Rita Astuti, Pascal Boyer, Susan Carey, Gergely Csibra, Dan Fessler, György Gergely, Pierre Jacob, Dan Sperber) and of the students presentations (by Coralie Chevalier, Claire Cooper, Christophe Heintz, Olivier Mascaro, Vlad Naumescu) are now visible online at the school’s Youtube channel.
