University Course of "Humanities and Neuroscience" a.a. 2020-21
Coordination: proff. Luca Vanzago and Tomaso Vecchi

The course, interdisciplinary, is focused on the meaning and importance of neurocognitive investigations applied to the humanities: philosophy, psychology, economics, social sciences, law.
These themes are integrated with biomedical disciplines and more generally with the theme of human behavior as a complex cognitive system. Methodological issues are addressed in relation to the epistemology of cognitive neuroscience.
