Over the last decade, researchers have begun pairing brain scans with powerful algorithms to measure invisible mental processes, from how we value options to how we form beliefs and make choices.Yet these models often operate as black boxes: they can predict behavior with uncanny accuracy without clearly revealing the underlying thought processes. How do we know when we are truly capturing someone’s mental state, and not just a statistical shortcut?In this talk, Professor Lee will share real-world applications from cognitive neuroscience, explaining how scientists test whether their models are measuring the “right” mental states and what this means for the future of mind-reading technologies.Arthur Lee is an assistant professor of psychological and brain sciences at Boston University. He holds a joint Ph.D. in psychology and marketing and an M.A. in statistics from the University of Pennsylvania, and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at UC Berkeley.Get a drink, connect, and learn at Lectures on Tap! 🙌Agenda6:30 PM – Doors open: find a seat (open seating!), order food & drinks, and expect a bar line—arriving early is key.6:55 PM – Host introduction7:00 PM – Lecture begins7:45 PM – Audience Q&A8:00 PM – Have 1:1 time with the speaker, mingle with fellow guests, and order another round8:30 PM – Wrap up. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/boston/lectures-on-tap-brain-decoding-the-neuroscience-of-reading-minds/100001997617360299 - **Event Categories**: science-fair - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 39.19, max: 39.19, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Boston - **state**: MA - **country**: United States - **location**: Downtown Boston - **lat**: 42.3514653 - **long**: -71.0601767 - **full address**: Downtown Boston, Downtown Boston, Boston, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Lectures on Tap - "Brain Decoding: The Neuroscience of Reading Minds" - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/547b407bf459d83557e2173c1d71ef8fc0850ea9c7be0c707278af7f0af7a262-rimg-w1200-h600-dce8e8d8-gmir.jpg?v=1788449741 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Lectures on Tap - "Brain Decoding: The Neuroscience of Reading Minds" being held? - **A:** Lectures on Tap - "Brain Decoding: The Neuroscience of Reading Minds" takes place on Wed, 16 Sep, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Wed, 16 Sep, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Downtown Boston, Downtown Boston, Boston, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Lectures on Tap - "Brain Decoding: The Neuroscience of Reading Minds"? - **A:** Lectures on Tap - "Brain Decoding: The Neuroscience of Reading Minds" is organized by Felecia For The Win. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Lectures on Tap - "Brain Decoding: The Neuroscience of Reading Minds"", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/547b407bf459d83557e2173c1d71ef8fc0850ea9c7be0c707278af7f0af7a262-rimg-w1200-h600-dce8e8d8-gmir.jpg?v=1788449741", "startDate": "2026-09-16T18:30:00-04:00", "endDate": "2026-09-16T20:30:00-04:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/boston/lectures-on-tap-brain-decoding-the-neuroscience-of-reading-minds/100001997617360299", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Downtown Boston", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Downtown Boston", "postalCode": "02111", "addressLocality": "Boston", "addressRegion": "MA", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "42.3514653", "longitude": "-71.0601767" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Professors, experts, and storytellers giving thought-provoking lectures in Boston bars.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-09-03", "availabilityEnds": "2026-09-16T20:30:00-04:00", "validFrom": "2026-09-03", "lowPrice": "39.19", "highPrice": "39.19", "price": "39.19", "url": "https://allevents.in/boston/lectures-on-tap-brain-decoding-the-neuroscience-of-reading-minds/100001997617360299" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-09-03", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-09-03", "url": "https://allevents.in/boston/lectures-on-tap-brain-decoding-the-neuroscience-of-reading-minds/100001997617360299", "price": "39.19", "name": "Admission Ticket" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Felecia For The Win", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/felecia-for-the-win/24277484", "description": "Felecia is a software engineer, content creator, and host with over 700k followers across her social media platforms.
