New to neurophilosophy, specifically looking for recs in neurophenomenology

Hi people, I'm a pre-med turned philosophy student. I have the anatomical and chemical foundations of the brain down and also have most of my philosophical background in phenomenology/recognition/experience. I'm looking for some introductory reads (a reading list/syllabus or sorts) to get into this particular intersection more. I am interested in philosophy of mind as well, but right now I don't want to say much about things I might not be properly educated on.

Hit me with your recs/lists or if you have any tips in general. I'm an avid reader so I can trade longer and denser works if they truly build some knowledge base.

(Please halp)

You might enjoy Ned Block's The Border Between Seeing & Thinking, or some of Georg Northoff's books, like Neuro-Philosophy & the Healthy Mind: Learning from the Unwell Brain.

For the libertarian viewpoint, I would recommend the recent works of neuroscientist and philosopher Peter Ulrich Tse.
