Description:

S. Kelly Cognitive neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field - drawing from chemistry, biology, medicine, neuroscience, and psychology - that explores the relationship between the mind and the brain. Like the field of cognitive neuroscience, the scope of this course is broad, focusing on brain mechanisms for such diverse processes as sensation and perception, attention, memory, emotion, language, and even consciousness. Students read primary journal articles on case studies from the clinical literature of patients with localized brain damage and reports from the experimental and neuroimaging literature on the effects of invasive and noninvasive manipulations in normal subjects. Mind-brain relationships are considered in the context of cognitive theories, evolutionary comparisons, and human development. Prerequisite : PSYC 20 0 an d 27 0 or NEUR 170, or permission of instructor. This course is crosslisted as PSYC 375.
