Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

[AIMS and CONTENT] Course will be in english!
The course teaches the programming and theoretical knowledge necessary to run behavioural and EEG experiments using MATLAB and the Psychophysics Toolbox. At course completion, students should be able to independently program and run psychological experiments. In addition, a theoretical research topic will provide the basis for the programmed experiments. The focus will be on the role of ongoing neuronal oscillations (e.g., alpha, theta), as well as, ERPs (N2pc) in visual perception and attention. Students will present relevant articles, as well as, a research proposal in class and submit two complete Matlab scripts running the proposed experiments. Programming tutorials will alternate with exercise sessions, theoretical lectures and student presentations.

[METHODS:]
Practical MATLAB programming sessions, oral presentations by lecturer and students, in-class participation, weekly homework, oral presentations of EEG projects, written MATLAB scripts for full experiments. The course will be taught in English.
