| Description | This course was an upper-level research seminar designed for students who wished to learn electrophysiological techniques and how to apply those techniques to answer research questions in the domain of cognitive psychology and cognitive neuropsychology. In this year's course students helped design a study of attention, run participants, and analyze the data. Additionally, they had the opportunity to develop an original research project from conception through piloting participants. Course requirements consisted of reading primary research articles and designing and executing an event related potential (ERP) research project. The class covered all elements of setting up an ERP research project and focused on both the theory of electrophysiological research techniques as well as practical aspects of developing and running a research project. Some background in cognitive psychology, cognitive science, neuropsychology, or neuroscience was desirable. |
