New Books on Neuroscience and Philosophy of Mind

neuroinstgraphicsmallPhilosophers have always been concerned with the mind and the so-called mind/body problem. What is the relationship between the mind and the body? How does the mind act on the brain? What is consciousness?  Representation?  Emotion?  Recently, the Georgia State University Department of Philosophy and the Neuroscience Institute have been working together to answer these questions.
