This course surveys the theory and practice of using recordings of electrical activity of the brain to study aspects of human cognition. Lectures will describe how event-related brain potentials (ERPs) have been used to address issues related to language, memory, attention, and perception, and students will gain experience critically reading and evaluating research reports in this area. Students will also learn how to collect, process, statistically analyze, and interpret ERP data through the completion of group research projects.
Prereq: PSYCH-204.
