PSYC 343L - Behavioral Neuroscience Lab

(1)

FA. This course is a lab course designed to strengthen knowledge of neuroscience information as well as the variety of research methods and tools used to explore brain function. Lab activities include brain dissection, electrophysiological measurements, emotional responses (i.e., skin conductance and heart rate), and brain activity (i.e., electroencephalography, or EEG). In addition, there will be presentations that provide an overview of many of the tools used to study neural tissue, neuroanatomy, and neural functioning that cannot be done through class activities. Finally, students will conduct a data-gathering project that will explore original questions in the field of neuroscience or neuropsychology. Prerequisites: PSYC 151, and biology core or permission of instructor. Corequisite: PSYC 343.
