| | Description: | This course explores how consciousness is created in the brain and body. This course will integrate biological, psychological, and philosophical perspectives to investigate the nature of the mind. Utilizing an experiential approach, we will study how perception-action links give rise to consciousness and shape our subjective understanding of the world. Concepts will include sensory-motor integration, spatial and temporal awareness, sense of self and sense of agency. Students will gain a broad understanding of both historical milestones in the development of "enactivism" and current experimental techniques enabling research into perception, embodiment, presence, virtual and augmented reality, and the neural correlates of consciousness. This course is for first-year, non-transfer students only. |

| | Description: | Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary study of the mind, drawing upon and integrating findings from psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, computer science, and philosophy, among other disciplines. This course begins with a historical overview of some of the principal landmarks in the history of cognitive science. It then uses detailed case studies to introduce the basic techniques and theoretical frameworks used by cognitive scientists. Prereq: completion of at least one of the following courses: MBB 120A, Psych 100B, Phil 100, Phil 120F, Phil 125C, Biol 2960, or Ling 170D.

| | Description: | What is cognitive science, and how does it happen? This course will investigate the methods used to probe human and non-human animal minds across the cognitive sciences. We will take a close look at specific experimental methods, such as looking times, fMRI, 4-cup tasks, and the Implicit Association Test. These methods are used to inquire into the nature of the mind, including how children develop capacities for social cognition and logical inference, how cognition influences perception, how we categorize other people and attribute mental states, how we process language, and other fascinating topics. Over the course of the term we will try to keep larger theoretical questions in mind and consider how we might use different tools to converge on cognitive phenomena.
Prerequisites: completion of at least one of the following courses: Psych 100B, Phil 120F, Phil 125C, Biol 296A, MBB 120 or Ling 170D

| | Description: | A survey of major philosophical problems concerning meaning, reference, and truth as they have been addressed within the analytic tradition. Readings that represent diverse positions on these focal issues will be selected from the work of leading philosophers in the field, for example: Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein, Davidson, Quine, Kripke, and Putnam. Students are encouraged to engage critically the ideas and arguments presented, and to develop and defend their own views on the core topics.
Prerequisites: one course in Philosophy at the 100 or 200-level, or permission of the instructor. Priority given to majors in Philosophy & PNP.

| | Description: | This course will provide a broad introduction to neuroscience, starting at the level of cellular and molecular neuroscience, and ultimately ending at systems and theoretical neuroscience, with emphasis on the organization of the mammalian central nervous system. Topics will include neuronal structure, the action potential, information transmission between neurons, sensory/motor systems, emotion, memory, disease, drugs, behavior, and network dynamics. A fundamental goal of this course is to provide students with the ability to approach complex problems using the scientific method and to understand the limits of knowledge. This course will also expose students to some of the neuroscience community at WashU. Pre-requisite: Bio 2960. Recommended: Bio 2970 and Bio 3058, Or Psych 3401 and permission of instructor.

| | Description: | This course will investigate historical and current views regarding the cognitive capacities of non-human primates, and the extent to which these abilities are shared with humans. Topics for this class will include: social cognition, problem-solving, tool use, culture, communication, theory of mind, deception, self-recognition, imitation, and numerical cognition. The classes will involve discussion and critical evaluation of theory and methods in this challenging and exciting area of primate cognitive research. |
