Neurocognitive Representation

Stimuli are perceived via interaction with our nervous system. These outside forces trigger electrical and chemical reactions that evoke complex dynamics playing out over space and time in a phenominally complex network of billions of neuron. Thus, somehow, we perceive a coherent continuous experience. Thus, somehow, we infer, generalize, and make decisions about our environment. Thus, somehow, we are creative and witty and human. This seminar focuses readings that take aim and understanding how this all happens, leaning on Connectionist perspectives for orientation. The class is offered irregularly (but syllabus and readings are always available on request!).
