The degree course in Philosophy-Neuroscience AI explores the fundamentals of the human mind, cognitive processes and intelligent systems from a genuinely interdisciplinary perspective. Philosophy-Neuroscience AI combines a sound philosophical education with current specialist and methodological knowledge from the empirical neurosciences and cognitive sciences as well as artificial intelligence (AI).

The overall aim of the degree course is to understand how cognitive functions and mental processes fundamentally work in biological and artificial systems – from a philosophical and empirical perspective. For example, it is about the understanding of neurophysiological systems, human behaviour and phenomenal experience, as well as the development and analysis of artificial neural networks and machine learning methods.

In this process, empirical and technical findings are examined through the lens of philosophy and
the science theory. You will learn to critically analyse complex problems in the philosophy of the mind and to evaluate them in light of modern neurobiological and computational research.
