Senior Seminar: Consciousness
This seminar will be organized around Julian Jaynes's book The Origins of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. All students will be expected to achieve an understanding of this theory at a level
commensurate with their senior psychology major status, and each will contribute to the others' understanding of the theory by making a significant written oral presentation in one of the fields with which Jaynes's theory
intersects. These fields include neurophysiology, learning, memory, narratization, mental illness, hypnosis, and some selected social psychology issues, especially the social psychology of religion and authority.
