The Nature and science of consciousness
This course will review what is known about consciousness. Although
the primary focus will be on scientific studies, consideration
will also be given to alternative research traditions including
those drawn from philosophy (e.g. phenomenology) and contemplative
eastern tradition (e.g. Buddhism). Topic will include the distinction
between unconscious, conscious, and meta- conscious states, mind-wandering,
the relationship between consciousness and extant psychological
constructs such as working memory and attention, altered states
of consciousness, neural correlates of consciousness, and the
possible relationship between consciousness and physics.
