From Memory Knots to LLMs: Cognitive upgrade or Cognitive dept?

Over the past few decades, we haven't just adopted digital technology - we've migrated into it. What used to mean searching for or exchanging information now covers how we shop, find housing, meet people, connect, learn, and play. Digital life isn't separate from real life anymore. It is real life. That shift is quietly redrawing the line between mind and machine. We're losing track of where our own memory, attention, and judgment end and where the help of a search engine, an app, or a language model begins. Join cognitive scientist Maria Falikman for a talk on how we're becoming "digital centaurs" - and how tools from web search to large language models are reshaping not just what we know, but how we remember, notice, and decide. Speaker: Maria Falikman Doctor of Psychological Sciences, professor and researcher at The University of the South, specializing in cognitive psychology, attention, and cognitive neuroscience. One of the leading voices translating rigorous cognitive science research for a broader audience.
