Learning outcomes

During the course we will examine the main methods for data collection and signal processing used in basic and applied physiological research, as well as the theoretical reference models. With particular regard to the domain of cognitive neuroscience, we will consider different experimental contexts and for each some real study cases will be discussed.

Syllabus

Instruments and methods of investigation:
• Mental chronometry
• Psychophysics
• Electrophysiology
• In vivo visualization of neural activity
• Neuropsychology
• Invasive methods

Applications of these methods within cognitive neuroscience:
• Normal, clinical and developmental psychophysiology
• Superior mental functions (perception, attention, memory, language and motor control)
