Neuroscience and the Mind 

This course will encourage students to think critically about the relationship between neuroscience and the philosophy of mind.  Students will be challenged to draw connections between empirical findings and both traditional philosophical questions and theoretical questions within the brain sciences.   We will focus on evidence that illuminates and challenges our pre-theoretic notions of the mind and findings that fall short of their claims to shed light on such notions.
