IDS-544: Mind, Brain and Behavior

Confronts the relationship between subjective interpretations of such unique characteristics of the human experience as thinking, reasoning, and awareness and the hard, analytical, biological explanations of these processes. Students become more familiar with the biological mechanisms of higher cognitive processes and evaluate whether this model can reasonably account for the human experience. The course also allows students to acquire experience at literature research in the life-sciences. No previous experience in biology or psychology is assumed. [ 3 credits ]
