NSCI 361 - Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory

HC NSMA

2 credits
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.

Prerequisites: (NSCI 360 (may be taken concurrently)) and (PSYC 200 or STAT 113 or STAT 114).
