DESCRIPTION
This is an accessible account of selected areas of Neurosciences of particular interest for Humanities and Social Sciences. The course starts with a general overview of the brain to then review how the sensory systems build up a representation of the world, with particular reference to the visual and auditory systems. Then we analyze examples of the constructive character of perception, brain categorization, and the construction of sensory images, space and movement. Finally, we address the question of consciousness and perception of self, to discuss the implications of Neurosciences in the foundations of knowledge, Law and Arts.
