Introduction To Cognitive Neuroscience - 6128: Syllabus

This 3-credit course provides an introduction to cognitive neuroscience. It will be taught in Hebrew during the second semester on the E. Safra campus by Dr. Ayelet Landau. The course aims to present current theories and findings on the relationship between brain and cognition using research methods from psychology, neurobiology, and neuroscience. Students will learn key methods in the field and how they contribute to understanding neural bases of cognition. Topics will include perception, attention, memory, language, and executive functions. The class involves lectures, assignments, readings, and 3 hours of experiments. Students will be evaluated based on assignments, quizzes, and end of year written/oral exams.

Course/Module description:
This is a course in Cognitive Neuroscience that examines the relationship between
brain and cognition through the use of methods from various research fields such as
psychology, neurobiology, and neuroscience. The course presents the key methods
in the field and discusses their contribution to understanding the neural basis of
cognition. It includes an overview of the latest theories and findings in various
topics associated with cognition, including perception, attention, memory,
language, and executive functions.
Objectives: To present up-to-date findings in key topics within cognitive
neuroscience; to understand the main research methods in the field (e.g.,
behavioral methods, research on individuals with brain damage, imaging
techniques); to discuss the contribution of brain research to cognitive theories, and
vice versa.

Course/Module aims:
The course will provide an extensive survey of the methods used in the field. Than
we will apply this knowledge to the study of various modules in cognition: e.g.,
perception, memory, executive functions and awareness.

Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be


able to:
Students in the class will be able to read a scientific paper in the field with a good
understanding of the dependent variables. In addition they will have acquired the
state of the art insights on how neural mechanisms support cognition

Attendance requirements(%):
