    Credits: 3 Trains students in research methodologies, techniques, and data analysis in neuroscience. The course is divided into three modules that introduce separate but equally significant components of any research project. The first module will focus on parameters required for outlining and synthesizing a problem. The second module will cover various techniques of measurement and analysis used by neuroscientists. The last module will cover various approaches used for data analysis and interpretations. Prerequisites Graduate standing. Hours of Lecture or Seminar per week 3 Hours of Lab or Studio per week 0
