Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The course introduces the students to the predictive processing approach to mind/cognition. The following questions will be addressed during the course: What is predictive processing? How is the predictive processing approach related to the classical paradigms in Cognitive Science (Cognitivism, Connectionism, Embodied/Enactive Mind, etc)? How can the predictive mind approach be used for explaining different cognitive aspects and functions like perception, consciousness, etc? What are limitations and future challenges of this new trend in cognitive science? etc.
