Comentários e feedback de alunos de Philosophy and the Sciences: Introduction to the Philosophy of Cognitive Sciences da instituição Universidade de EdimburgoUniversidade de Edimburgo

I enjoyed the format, it made it very easy to learn and you can read as much as you like with the recommended reading list. Very thought provoking and well prsented. I would recommend it for anyone with an interest in philosophy.

This course is quite helpful for the people who are coming from different disciplines just like me. It is quite interesting and informative.

Great Course, covers really interesting topics regarding brains, its philosophies and cognition related to it. The teachers and the instructors were very clear in their approach of making us understand the topics. Loved the course. Great job.

well done. great introductions.

Amazing.

Really useful and I understood all of it even though I do not have a background in this subject.

Thanks

Fantastic teachers, very informative and useful. Highly recommended to those who are interested in pursuing cognitive sciences and learning about consciousness

A great subject it is thanks for enabling me go through it. I have gained some insight into cognition!

I really liked the course! It was very interesting to listen to several different people, the professors were all friendly and easy to understand, also because the university is specialized they look really involved and love their subject, so a lot of stuff they said made me think from new perspectives :)

Excellent introduction to important concepts, with clear lectures and good reading materials

Very insight lecutures! Rich examples and easy to understand.

I learned some really interesting things from this course that I will be using in an upcoming project

An insightful and intriguing course with great further reading material.

Excelente curso

Super informative, fascinating content and engaging examples.

Very good overview into an interesting topic. Takes into account different views off the topic. Liked it!

Recommended course for those who are interested in ways of obtaining self-knowledge. One of the insights that came to mind after having listened to the course videos is that creations (of objects, theories, algorithms, phenomena) reflect the reality of their creator best and to a varying degree the reality of creator's associates. Another one is that both the understanding (of the word content) and definitions of concepts evolve with the development of self-consciousness.

Excellent course. There is as much math as you want to take on, but you can skip over it to get the philosophical concepts being presented. I feel like I got a handle on Dark Matter and Dark Energy at least at a layman's talk at a cocktail party (I go to very nerdy cocktail parties) level. The philosophical notions of under-determination and falsifiability are useful for somene who thinks about science.

The professors in this course reveal very clear and fast the recent advances in evolutionary psychology and the consequences in the approach to related sciences, and the way we perceive the world.

Clear, easy to understandoverview

Very interesting topic !!!

I learned a lot about robotics and new ideas about the brain and the new importance given to embodiment. Using Rodin's The Thinker as a classic model of what thought is and is for, the case is made that the brain is more accurately seen as part of a sensory system, and that interaction with the environment has been the driving force behind brain evolution. Very good inter-disciplinary approach. When examining the nature and operation of consciousness, having examples of animal behavior and from the field of robotics helps to crystallize and demonstrate new theories.

Muy bueno. Claro. Conciso. Al alcance de quien desee aprender sobre esta interesante temática!

Short and informative, full of food for thought for behavioural and social science students.

Very informative work! Take it if you're interested in learning more about brain process and the functionality behind consciousness. They preview a cool experiment here in week 2, called TMI. It sends magnetic waves through to a particular portion of the brain, halting activity in that region. By so doing we are able to tell what parts of the brain are responsible for certain activity.

Take it! I recommend it. and I haven't even gotten to the good stuff.

Thank you!

Superb
