Paul Pfeilschiefter, M.A. Lab Coordinator |
Paul first started to think that issues in the philosophy of perception are empirical matters while an undergraduate at U.C. Berkeley. Paul became sure that matters of the mind are best looked at through an empirical lens while earning his M.A. in philosophy as a student of Georgia State University’s Brains and Behaviors program. He intends to continue this trajectory by getting a graduate degree in some empirical discipline or another – although he insists that his research will be tightly tethered to his philosophical roots.
