Two ¾¨Ó㴫ý professors and six students recently attended the Society for Neuroscience Conference in Atlanta.
Dr. Alan Gittis, professor of psychology, and Dr. David Goldberg, assistant professor of philosophy, collaborated on a poster that described their cluster course on philosophical and neurobiological aspects of the mind. Gittis also presented a poster, coauthored by Lindsay Weber, class of '06, titled "Local Decisions in the Radial Arm Maze." It argued that the spatial decision-making used in some experimental settings really derives from more simple heuristic mechanisms.
Two of the students, Veronica Geretz, a sophomore psychology and philosophy major from Norwalk, Ohio, and David Mills, a sophomore exploratory major from Latrobe, displayed this poster at the Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience poster session held at the conference.
