This course aims at presenting a state of the art in cognitive neuroscience research on consciousness. The major focus of the course is the understanding of the psychological properties and neural underpinnings of conscious perception, conscious access and reflexive consciousness (the ability to make introspective judgments about one's own perception or cognition). From there we make propositions as to how other aspects of consciousness relates to this central building block. The course opens to these other aspects in two ways: seminars by external teachers and students’ mini-projects. Our main working model is the Global Neuronal Workspace Model. Other models are mentioned and discussed: local recurrence; higher order thought; Integrated Information Theory. Throughout the course we keep in mind the societal challenges linked with this research topic, including the assessment of pathologies of consciousness, the assessment of consciousness in animals and the acknowledgement of the unconscious determinants of (human) behaviours and decisions.
Prerequisites:
Cogmaster M1 or equivalent: specifically base knowledge in Neurosciences and Psychology, some notions in modelling or philosophy of mind.
Having followed “Introduction to Neurosciences” and “Introduction to Psychology” (or equivalent) will be a bare minimum.
Having followed the course on “Neuroimaging techniques” and the “Advanced course in Neurosciences”, or advance courses in psychology (methodology or psychological functions) will be very useful to make the most of this course.
