The International Association for the Cognitive Science of Religion (IACSR) seeks to advance the naturalistic study of religion. The IACSR recognizes that the cognitive sciences encompass a wide array of disciplines and methods, including, among others, experimental research in psychology and neuroscience, computational modeling, ethnographic, historical, archaeological, and comparative studies of religious cognition, and the survey techniques of the social sciences. The main goal of the workshop is to introduce CSS members to topics that are cutting edge in the cognitive science of religion. Religion is obviously of global significance, and its study requires explanations from a variety of perspectives that involve broader issues relevant to cognitive science.
