Course Description:
Cognitive neuroscience asks the question: what neural computations in the brain give rise to rich human behavior? In this block course, through lectures, watching talks, and reading papers in the field, you will learn how researchers have sought to tackle this problem using various methods (e.g. neuroimaging). After a general overview of the field, we will explore a few methods and concepts in depth. By the end, you will have acquired an intuition for thinking about how neural computation can give rise to complex behaviors, which will set you up for future in-depth courses on the topics in cognitive neuroscience.

Learning Objectives:
By the end of this course, students will:
Objective 1 - Understand the fundamental assumptions of cognitive neuroscience
Objective 2 - Understand neural data recording and analysis
Objective 3 - Understand how the brain implements its visual abilities and engages in visual learning

Prerequisites:
No specific pre-requisites. It would be helpful if you have already studied linear algebra and know the basics of neuroscience.
