Course Overview
The questions we raise above are at the core of your studies when you explore Approaches to Consciousness as an Open Learner. Consciousness is the essential spark of what it means to be human, yet so much about it remains mysterious. Contemporary neuroscientific research has advanced our grasp of many features of conscious processing, but has not answered the fundamental question regarding the basis of consciousness.
