PI Lecture Series Abstract: The biological perspective on intelligence is well represented by the following quotes: “Is it not reasonable to anticipate that our understanding of the human mind would be aided greatly by knowing the purpose for which it was designed?” (George Williams) and “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish

PI Lecture

John-Dylan Haynes (SCIoI): “What can neuroimaging tell us about human intelligence?”

MAR23 4.064 Marchstraße 23, Berlin, Germany

The concept of intelligence in cognitive science has been highly elusive. One pragmatic approach to understanding intelligence is to use classical intelligence tests, such as the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). In such tests, performance is assessed in a number of specific subtask items, and the performance across these items is then integrated to an
