The question that has baffled scientists and philosophers for centuries is how molecules, cells, neurotransmitters and hormones in our brains create consciousness and self-awareness? There have been breakthroughs in the fields of philosophy, psychology, neuroscience and psychiatry, but the quest for understanding the origins of mind and consciousness continues. The PhD course Neurophilosophy of Mind and Consciousness provides students with novel and practical insights into this field, which will contribute to theorizing and academic writing skills.
Format:
Neurophilosophy of Mind and Consciousness is a 5-day, 3 hours a day course, which includes lectures & discussions by experts in the fields of Psychology and Neuroscience, and apart from the daily meetings, literature study and a writing assignment.
