room Y35 F 32
Schedule:
Thursday, 5.15-7.00pm
This course is
intended for all students interested in the topic of
consciousness and the NCC, i.e. the Neural Correlate of
Consciousness.
Each
session will include a presentation by one of the
organizers, and will be followed by a general
discussion.
The course's main language is english, but discussions and questions in german are also possible.
Requirements:
Most
topics will be covered in articles and notes available on
this web site, or that will be distributed during the
course.
There will be three unannounced quizzes (multiple choice
format) that will determine the final grade. You need at
least two completed quizzes
to pass.
In
addition, you have to make at least 4 significant
contributions to our consciousness forum:
3 general ones and 1 about the Ravenscroft Book "Philosophy
of mind", whose relevant chapters
you can find here and here in german.
Here is also the introduction
(english only).
We
will explain in class which contributions are judged to be
"significant" and how to use the forum.
Important:
The
forum will close at midnight of New Year's eve. No
postings made after that will be considered!
Successful completion of the course yields three credits.
