NSCI 358 - Sensory Neuroscience Laboratory

Next Offered: 2017-2018

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

This laboratory course will introduce students to some of the methods used to study sensory neuroscience. This course also seeks to improve students? ability to think critically and independently in a laboratory setting. Thus, many of the activities will focus on study design, reading the primary literature, and scientific writing and presenting. Students will also complete independent projects throughout the semester that will require some work outside of class time. We will cover four major areas of sensory neuroscience research: psychophysics, neuro-imaging, electrophysiology, and anatomy.
