Susan Schneider, Ph.D.

Dr. Susan Schneider is assistant professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania and an affiliated faculty member at the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience (CCN) and the Institute for Research in Cognitive Science (IRCS). She is also a fellow with the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies (IEET). Her current research investigates the scope and limits of cognitive science, particularly the plausibility of computational theories of mind. In addition, she is also working on the traditional positions on the mind-body problem, reframing conceptions of property dualism and physicalism.

Dr. Schneider received her Ph.D. in philosophy from Rutgers University in 2003, prior to which she was a pre-doctoral fellow at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). She has authored numerous articles and book chapters, and is the co-editor with Max Velmans of The Blackwell Companion to Consciousness (Wiley-Blackwell, 2007).
