Professor and Department Chair Ph.D., University of California, Davis
Dr. Hirstein’s research interests include autism, confabulation, consciousness, and misidentification disorders. In his work, he applies the findings emerging from today’s neurosciences, especially cognitive neuropsychology, to classical philosophical problems. Dr. Hirstein is the author of several books, including Brain Fiction: Self-Deception and the Riddle of Confabulation, published in 2005.
My general approach is to apply the findings emerging from today's neurosciences, especially cognitive neuropsychology, to classical philosophical problems.
