| Unit Description |
This unit deals with the anatomical, functional and dynamic organisation of the brain as it relates to the fundamental domains of human behaviour and experience. Students will be introduced to recent methods for the study of functional neural activity at a systems level. Step by step logical thinking and clear spoken and written communication will be practiced in lively discussion and actual experiments. The unit will provide a bridge from traditional neuroscience to the emerging discipline of cognitive neuroscience. Finally we will consider one of the greatest problems in the history of science, the nature of consciousness and its place in the universe, an answer to which may be within our grasp. |
