The Human-Environment-Interaction Dynamics initiative is a work group providing a mechanism for researchers from psychology, mathematics, electrical engineering, computer science, and philosophy to collaborate on the study of the function and development of the human mind.

The group meets monthly on third Fridays (see the “Upcoming Events” section for details on next meeting).
