  Graduate students should register for PSYCH 6150 and will do additional work. This seminar provides a direct and hands-on introduction to the use of electrophysiological methods in the cognitive and brain sciences. In this course, you will learn the theory, methods, and practical implementation underlying electroencephalography (EEG) data collection, analysis, presentation, and interpretation. Students will gain expertise on topics such as: the basic principles of event-related brain potentials (ERPs) and neural oscillations, implementing ERP and time-frequency analysis, best practices in EEG experimental design, and advantages and limitations of the EEG methodology. Students will work on previously collected human EEG datasets and will propose and complete a group EEG research project whereby they will gain experience in EEG/ERP experimental design, data collection, and advanced analysis. Note that this course requires heavy participation on the part of the students. This course is best suited for students who wish to use EEG methods and perform advanced EEG analyses.

  Graduate students should register for PSYCH 6360 and will do additional work. For millennia, it has been a virtual truism that emotions and cognitions represent processes that are mutually distinct. However, recent advances in cognitive and affective neurosciences suggest that emotions and cognitions may be more closely intertwined than previously thought. This course will offer a conceptual analysis of major affective and cognitive constructs and domains, and their associations with discrete biological (neuroanatomic and neurophysiologic) substrates. The course will begin with a brief overview of the history of the study of emotions and cognitions, from antiquity through the 21st century. Next, the course will review basic functional and structural neuroanatomy, as well as basic principles of neurophysiology and information processing, as they relate to cognitive and affective processes. Lastly, the bulk of the course will be spent on an in-depth analysis of the current understanding of brain-emotion-cognition relationships, starting with a review of individual components of emotional and cognitive processing and their neuroanatomic and neurophysiologic underpinnings, and ending with mechanisms behind motivated actions. Prerequisites: "C" or better in ((PSY 1010 OR PSY 1011 OR AP Psychology score of 3 or higher OR IB Psychology score of 5 or higher) AND (PSY 2100 OR PSY 2710)) AND Instructor Consent.
