Cognitive Neuroscience

This course provides students with a foundational knowledge of cognitive neuroscience, a field that studies the intricate links between the mind, the brain, and behavior. Students learn basics about brain anatomy and function and the methods used to study how the brain supports cognition and behavior. We explore the various functions of the brain by taking a journey from lower to higher level cognitive processes. We study how we can sense and perceive the world, act in it, remember it, feel about it, control thoughts and behaviors, make decisions, and think about others.
