Three Credits
Fall Semester

A discussion of questions that lie at the intersection of psychology, neuroscience and philosophy, including: How are psychological states like pain related to brain states? Could a digital computer have beliefs? feel pain? fall in love? What can brain-based psychological disorders teach us about the mind? Will advances in neuroscience show that we are not free? or morally responsible?
