Learning Outcome: | After successfully completing the module, students possess an understanding of the physiological processes in the human body that lead to biomarkers of specific mental states. They furthermroe understand the principles of experimental design in the context of psychophysiology, and have applied this understanding in the design, implementation, data collection, and analysis of an actual experiment.
|
Contents: | The module consists of lectures and a project. The lectures cover relevant aspects of general human physiology as well as more specific processes that can be measured using electrocardiography (heart activity), electromyography (muscle activity), electrodermal activity (skin conductance), and electroencephalography (brain activity). The techniques behind each of these monitoring methods are discussed as well, along with properties of the recorded signal and some known correlates of that signal to mental processes or psychological states. The project seminar and self-study hours will be used to plan, design, implement, and analyse the data of an actual neurophysiological experiment. |
