Universitas General Studies offers a new online course:

New Paradigms in Neuroscience
Beyond the brain

A simple and clear vision of how the nervous system works, the latest advances, and the limits that are being reached. We will develop aspects of the psyche (consciousness, memory and executive functions among others), and the unexplainable in the light of current knowledge such as sleep, near-death experiences, and many other functions.

5. Consciousness, psyche and soul. Parapsychological phenomena. Knowledge of the integral man. Man and the mobile phone or the similarity between the telephone and the brain as interfaces.
