Gruppe 1: Cyberpsychologie
Gruppe 2: Neuroscience of Consciousness
Description: What distinguishes conscious from non-conscious mental states? How can we explain gradations in the level of consciousness experienced in different mental states (e.g., sleep vs. wakefulness)? Will we ever be able to scientifically describe why it feels a certain way to see a red tomato?
In this seminar, we will first discuss philosophical foundations: how should we think about consciousness if we want to empirically investigate it? Following this, we will explore selected current empirical approaches to studying consciousness. Participants are expected to come prepared by reading the initial chapters of "Being You" by Anil Seth, provided in advance of the seminar.
