We will seek to
understand the mind-brain by integrating findings from several of the
cognitive sciences, including philosophy, psychology, neuroscience,
linguistics, anthropology, and artificial intelligence. This course
will consider multiple perspectives on such topics as mental imagery,
concepts, rationality, consciousness, emotion, language, thought,
memory, attention, and machine intelligence.
