Took "Consciousness and Cognition"


Learned about what consciousness is through subliminal priming, blindsight, neurological disorders that affect consciousness, and more. For the final paper, we had to write about whether Ken Parks was conscious when he drove to his mother in law's house in his sleep, basing our opinion in modern models of consciousness.

I struggled in this class. I couldn't concentrate on the dense research papers, which helped me decide to not pursue the academia side of cognitive science. Moreover, the tests were rigorous but pushed me to learn the concepts deeply.
