Subject
Scientific and Technological Literacy
Description
In this course, students will delve into cutting edge issues in the science of the mind-body-health relationship and analyze how communication occurs both within and across the body’s systems (nervous, endocrine, immune). Philosophical issues of mind-body duality, the power of positive and negative suggestion, and the influence of brain architecture on behaviour will be critically examined.
