| SCOPE | |||||||||
| This course offers an introduction to cognitive neuroscience: the interdisciplinary study of how brain structure and function give rise to behavior and mental processes. We examine the biological bases of behavior through topics such as perception, learning, memory, language, emotion, motivation, sleep, development, psychopathology, and more. Together, we investigate how the brain's structure and activity develop, adapt, and interact to support complex behavior, and how disruptions to these processes impact functioning. The knowledge and skills developed in this course help establish a critical foundation in neurocognition for advanced study and professional practice across many disciplines such as psychology, medicine, education, and human performance. | |||||||||

| SCOPE | |||||||||
| This is a course in Cognitive Neuroscience that examines the relationship between brain and cognition through the use of methods from various research fields such as psychology and neuroscience. This course is intended to give the student a strong basic knowledge of the field of cognitive neuroscience. In the course, we will present the key methods in the field and discuss their contribution to understanding the neural basis of cognition. An overview of the latest theories and findings in various topics associated with cognition, including perception, attention, memory, language, and executive functions, will be covered. The goal is to understand how complex mental processes such as attention, memory, language, emotion, and high-level thought are enabledby the functioning of the brain. | |||||||||
