CogFest is an annual multi-day event brought to you by the Center for Cognitive and Brain Sciences.
Every spring, CogFest gathers inquisitive minds from across the Ohio State University and beyond to discuss ongoing research in the Cognitive Science field. Bringing together real-life application of cognitive science, expert speakers, and current research, CogFest aims to excite experts and non-experts alike. Anyone interested in the cognitive sciences and affiliated sciences is welcome to attend.
Film & Television Event
At the CogFest Film and Television Event, expert and non-expert guests gather to view a screening of a curated film or television series. Guests are then treated to a discussion by leading experts in relevant fields to analyze the cognitive science themes underlying the film.
The CogFest Film and Television Event is a great opportunity for the Columbus community to become engaged in the cognitive sciences. By discussing the cognitive science behind your favorite films and series, we hope to inspire anyone and everyone to become interested in the topic. The world of academia can feel elitist; however, we hope to dismantle this assumption by bringing cognitive science to the public sphere.
