Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The aim of this course is to support and move beyond students’ understanding of basic conceptual foundations regarding methods and techniques used in cognitive psychology and neuroscience (with a focus on topics touching social neuroscience and empirical aesthetics). Students will have the opportunity to engage with several different lecturers, each with a differing background expertise. Instead of a one-directional lecture, students will have the opportunity to work in smaller class groups and to engage on a more conversational level with the teacher in order to discuss topics and papers. To this end, the class is focused on active discussion and engagement, as well as the reading of key research papers. We will also schedule lab visits during lecture times to have a hands-on opportunity to see some of the techniques in action.

Assessment and permitted materials

The main methods of grading will emphasize:
1) weekly reading of one or two papers and completion of a short written homework assignment about the content/proposed research question and how the student’s might assess this: 50%
2) active discussion in class from all students, and the presentation of the paper content by one student each week: 50%

If it appears that students are not reading the papers and prepping for class, we also reserve the possibility of introducing weekly quizzes.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

-Detailed requirements will be given in class.
Minimum requirements are class attendance with maximum of two missed sessions (without special arrangement made with lecturers before missed class).
