Course requirements will consist of reading primary research articles, executing an event related potential (ERP) research project on visual processing, and analyzing the data that is collected. The class will cover all elements of setting up an ERP research project and we will focus on both the theory and practical aspects of developing and running research study. The data analyses methods will cover a range of techniques from classical univariate statistical techniques to more advanced multivariate statistical learning methods. Students are expected to work independently.
