Course Syllabus
Abstract
This course aims to introduce the students to neural processes that support high order functions. This course aims to introduce and discuss a number of commonly used methods and tools of cognitive neuroscience. We will explore the neural principles governing various aspects of behavior, vision, sensory-motor control, learning, and memory. Specific topics that will be covered include perception, attention, cognition, language and mirror neurons mechanism. The course is primarily aimed at masters graduate students interested in learning the neural basis of human cognition.
Learning Objectives
- Know about neurobiological basis of cognition, its foundation and connections to other branches of knowledge.
- Know about fundamental theory about neural processes that underlay high order cognitive functions.
- Know about recent progress in the field of cognitive neuroscience.
- Apply research methods in neuroscience applicable to the fields.
