| Description | The aim of this course was to become familiar with the tools of research used in cognitive neuroscience and with questions that motivate researchers in the field. Students were expected to complete several short-answer assignments that were designed to evaluate mastery of the readings and material covered in class. They were also required to write an 8-10 page research proposal consisting of a literature review justifying or motivating their proposed research, a testable hypothesis, clear quantitative predictions that derive from that hypothesis, and a detailed description of an empirical study designed to test those predictions. Students were expected to demonstrate a clear grasp of the fundamentals of experimental design and of how quantitative methods can be used to answer behavioral questions. |
