PY 4890 - Cognitive Neuroscience

(3)
This course explores how the brain mediates specific cognitive processes, to include sensory and perceptual processes (mostly visual and auditory), attention, learning, language, memory, executive functions, emotion, and consciousness. Examined also are the methodologies that converge to support a claim of relationship between an area of brain tissue and a particular cognitive function. Methodologies explored include standard cognitive science and those of cognitive neuroscience (e.g., ERP, fMRI, double dissociation). In short, the course examines how the brain enables mind.

Prerequisite: PY 3100  or PY 3110 ; PY 3300  or PY 3350 ; PY 4300 , or instructor approval.
