Class Details

In the last decade the science of the mind has continued to draw on its 20th century history as well as expand its methodological repertoire. In this tutorial we will investigate current trends in mind and cognition by considering research in cognitive neuroscience, embodied cognition, dynamic systems theory, and empirical approaches to consciousness. Throughout, we will attend both to the specific empirical details as well as the conceptual foundations of this work.
