Course description

Cognitive and Behavioural Neuroscience is concerned with the elucidation of the neural basis of cognitive and behavioural phenomena. The course will provide students with an in-depth understanding of neuroscientific approaches to research in selected areas of psychology, such as attention, fear and fear learning, or object identification. The material will be presented in lectures that are embedded in guided readings. The content will be elaborated in small group tutorials and practicals which will permit hands-on experience with the research techniques used in neuroscientific research. Assessment will involve a final exam and a 4000 word literature review and research proposal.
