Philosophy Lecture
Details
Join us for a philosophy lecture by Paul Tobolowsky, MD, on The Scientific Search for Self, Mind, and Will.
### Through most of human history, it has been assumed that we exist as individual selves with independent minds that make willful decisions. Current technology offers the opportunity to do brain scanning as people perform mental tasks such as reading, speaking, making decisions, perceiving the world through our sensory systems, and thinking abstractly. The brain can even be tested in its baseline state when it is not actively thinking. This talk is a summary of current scientific investigations into deep philosophical issues.
Lecture is 45 min, with a 15-minute Q&A to follow! Admission is 5$. Text Jack at 361-443-8694 with any questions
