Introducing New Online Courses in Mind & Brain Science

I am teaching cognitive neuroscience courses online in which we examine scientific evidence supporting dynamic brain aspects. We've been immersed in developing foundational resources for curriculum with a focus on the fundamentals of the human mind and brain.

Yes, that's me in the photos below, discussing The Developing Brain & Consciousness with neuroscientist David Edelman and Dr. Jay Giedd, a clinical neuropsychiatrist and head of Adolescent Psychiatry at UCSD and Rady Children’s Hospital. For more than twenty years, National Institute of Mental Health neuroscientist Dr. Jay Giedd has studied the development of the adolescent brain. Decades of imaging work have led to remarkable insight and a more than a few surprises, all of which we discuss candidly and in depth.

Throughout my career, I have been deeply influenced by the need to bring the study of consciousness back into the scientific fold.

In the mid-20th century, behaviorism dominated psychology, dismissing consciousness as an unobservable and thus unscientific phenomenon. However, I believed that understanding consciousness was crucial for a complete picture of the human mind.

Thankfully, the fundamental topic of consciousness has made a spectacular return in medicine and brain science, and therefore, also, the psychological sciences.

We now have over 40 years of significant scientific research on the role of the conscious brain and how it relates to emotions, cognitions, development, and language that we can envision an integrated conception of the human mind, combining the humanities and the sciences.
