NSCI 361 - Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory

Semester Offered: Second Semester
Half Course
Credits: 2 credits
Attribute: 2NS

This laboratory course will survey theoretical and empirical techniques used in cognitive neuroscience, which is the study of the neural basis of cognition. These techniques complement each other and range from computational modeling of neural circuits, to behavioral psychophysics experiments, to physiological methods for observing brain activity, such as electroencephalography and functional magnetic resonance imaging. Since computation is central to all of these techniques, meetings will take place primarily in the computer lab. Prerequisite & Notes: Previous or concurrent enrollment in NSCI 360 and either STAT 113 or 114 or PSYC 200
