- Inhalt
- What is consciousness and how can we study it? The purpose for this seminar is to show why answering the first question is hard (actually, impossible at the moment) and how nonetheless we can build understanding of consciousness by examining the brain. We will start by looking at questions that philosophers raised (What is like to be a bat? Are you a philosophical zombie? Who is inside the Chinese room? What is a thought about a thought called?). Next we will look for missing consciousness in clinical cases (When are you actually dead and how can we know it? Can you see without primary visual cortex? When your arm is not your arm anymore? How many personalities can you squeeze into two hemispheres?), unconscious processing (Why cannot you see the flicker, if your primary visual cortex can? Can you pay attention to an invisible target?), free will (How do you know you did it? Why do you feel responsible, if you favorite team wins or loses?), false memory (Are you sure this happened to you at all?), and consciousness in animals (Again, what is it like to be a bat? Can animals read others minds?)
The course is taught in English, which will allow you build vocabulary on the topic.
