Do we behave in a deterministic manner, our actions predictable according to certain variables, or are we free to act as we choose? This course examines the question primarily by looking at data from psychological research, investigating the brain and behavior in humans and other animals, but also by drawing from other areas such as philosophy and physics.

This is an introductory course discussing how neurobiology and signal processing can be combined to advance our understanding of how the brain "remembers." In particular, we will focus on the fundamental biological process called episodic memory processing and how the hippocampus is involved. Lectures will cover how episodic information is represented in the brain, how we can represent this information using statistical models, and how we can decode brain signals to better understand how the brain works. Students will be given real experimental data to analyze as well as example MATLAB code. There is no prerequisite for MATLAB experience.

3.00 Credits
Introductory survey of current research and theory on topics in cognitive psychology. The course will cover a range of topics in perception, attention, learning, reasoning, and memory. The course emphasizes foundational concepts in cognitive psychology, such as computation, evolutionary theory, and neural physiology, as well as major approaches to investigating the mind, including behavioral, neural, and comparative.

This course will explore current and emerging ethical issues in neuroscience research. The field of neuroscience is rapidly increasing our knowledge of the human brain and behavior, which has resulted in debate concerning the social and cultural consequences of brain science research. Through discussion of topics including drug enhancement of normal function, ‘brain reading', and the use of advanced neural prostheses, we will investigate the profound social and legal implications of modern neuroscience interventions.
