Ampersand: The mind: what makes us and other perspectives on consciousness

This course explores how consciousness is created in the brain and body. This course will integrate biological, psychological, and philosophical perspectives to investigate the nature of the mind. Utilizing an experiential approach, we will study how perception-action links give rise to consciousness and shape our subjective understanding of the world. Concepts will include sensory-motor integration, spatial and temporal awareness, sense of self and sense of agency. Students will gain a broad understanding of both historical milestones in the development of "enactivism" and current experimental techniques enabling research into perception, embodiment, presence, virtual and augmented reality, and the neural correlates of consciousness. This course is for first-year, non-transfer students only.
