Cognitive neuroscience investigates the brain mechanisms underlying human mental processing. This field has its roots in cognitive psychology, the scientific study of human mental processing, and behavioral neuroscience, the scientific study of animal brain processing, which have existed for well over a century. Although cognitive neuroscience lies at the intersection of cognitive psychology and behavioral neuroscience, non-invasive methods to investigate human brain function have emerged in only the last few decades. This course will cover the methods of cognitive neuroscience along with fundamental cognitive neuroscience findings on many topics including seeing, hearing, attention, action, memory, language, and social/emotional processing.
