FYSP 137 - The Brain is Wider Than the Sky

4NS, WRi
First Semester. This seminar explores the human mind from the perspective of neurobiology. What are the evolutionary origins of the mind? How are our minds, our brains, and our behavior related? To what degree is the mind a product of genes or of culture? Topics such as sensory processing, language, memory, thinking, emotion, and consciousness will be explored in lecture, discussion, writing, coloring, library research, student oral presentations, and individual and group experiments.
