Opis

Students will have the opportunity to discuss and evaluate the importance of education from an early age, inquire how basic math and learning skills are acquired and compare similar behaviours in distinct species. They will explore the impact of social media on the brain, how brain, mind and body function during and after the psychological trauma and are the brains of people who commit crimes different from the brains of people who do not. The course places a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary dialogue. No background is assumed.
