Innovations and rapid developments in social and biological sciences have resulted in an interdisciplinary approach to unravel the biological underpinning of human behaviour. In order to study these brain-mind relationships social neuroscientists use various neuroscientific methodologies.
This course offers an overview and covers the basic concepts and principles of the methods and techniques used in neuroscientific research, which include electroencephalography, structural and functional neuroimaging, non-invasive brain stimulation, hormone administrations, eye scanning and measurements from the autonomic nervous system.
Students will be introduced to these techniques and will get hands on experience. This course will provide a basis for studies in neuropsychology, biological psychology, clinical and health psychology, developmental psychology, psychopathology, and cognitive and affective neuroscience.
